If cot2 θ = 3 - a2, then cosec θ + cot3 θ. sec θ =?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Let put θ = 45°
⇒ cot2 θ = 3 - a2
⇒ 1 = 3 - a2
⇒ a2 = 2
and
⇒ cosec θ + cot3θ . sec θ = cosec 45° + cot3 45° × sec 45°
= \(\sqrt {2}\) + \(\sqrt {2}\) = 2\(\sqrt {2}\)
Now put a2 = 2 in options and find answer
(4 - a2)\(\frac{3}{2}\) = (2)\(\frac{3}{2}\) = 2\(\sqrt {2}\)
Hence, option (1) is correct answer.
