Question:

If secθ + tanθ = 2, then the value of secθ.tanθ is?

Options:

\(\frac{3}{16}\)

1

\(\frac{15}{16}\)

\(\frac{2}{3}\)

Correct Answer:

\(\frac{15}{16}\)

Explanation:

secθ + tanθ = 2

⇒ secθ - tanθ = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

4secθ.tanθ = (secθ + tanθ)2 - (secθ - tanθ)2

⇒ 4secθ.tanθ = (2)2 - (\(\frac{1}{2}\))2

⇒ 4secθ.tanθ = 4 - \(\frac{1}{4}\)

⇒ secθ.tanθ = \(\frac{15}{16}\)
