Question:

What is the value of $\frac{cotθ+cosecθ-1}{cotθ-cosecθ+1}$ 

Options:

2 secθ

2 cosecθ

2 cot θ

(cosecθ + cot θ)

Correct Answer:

(cosecθ + cot θ)

Explanation:

$\frac{cotθ+cosecθ-1}{cotθ-cosecθ+1}$

( Using,  cosec²θ - cot²θ =  1 } 

= $\frac{cotθ+cosecθ- (cosec²θ - cot²θ )}{cotθ-cosecθ+1}$ 

= $\frac{cotθ+cosecθ-[ (cosecθ - cotθ). (cosecθ +cotθ)]}{cotθ-cosecθ+1}$

= $\frac{cotθ+cosecθ-[ 1 -  cosecθ +cotθ]}{cotθ-cosecθ+1}$

= cotθ+ cosecθ
