Question:

If $cosec θ=\frac{(x^2+y^2)}{(x^2-y^2)}$, then what will be the value of tan θ ?

Options:

$\frac{(x^2-y^2)}{(x^2+y^2)}$

$\frac{2xy}{(x^2-y^2)}$

$\frac{(x^2-y^2)}{2xy}$

$\frac{(x^2+y^2)}{2xy}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{(x^2-y^2)}{2xy}$

Explanation:

cosec θ = \(\frac{x² + y² }{x² - y²}\)

{ we know , cosec θ = \(\frac{H}{P}\) }

By using pythagoras theorem,

P² + B² = H²

(x² - y²)² + B² = (x² + y²

On solving it,

B = 2xy

Now,

tan θ = \(\frac{P}{B}\)

= \(\frac{x² - y²}{2xy}\)
