If cosθ=\(\frac{1}{\sqrt {10}}\)
then find the value of sec2θ + tanθ.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
cosθ=\(\frac{1}{\sqrt {10}}\)=\(\frac{B}{H}\)
P=\(\sqrt {(\sqrt {10})^2-(1)^2}\) (H2 = B2 + P2)
P=\(\sqrt {10-1}\)
P = 3
Now, sec2θ + tanθ
=(\(\frac{\sqrt {10}}{1}\))2+\(\frac{3}{1}\)
= 10 + 3 = 13
