Question:

If secθ + cosθ = 9, find the value of cos3θ + sec3θ.

Options:

707

756

702

710

Correct Answer:

702

Explanation:

Formula → [secθ = \(\frac{1}{cosθ}\) and cosθ = \(\frac{1}{secθ}\)]

⇒ cosθ + \(\frac{1}{cosθ}\) = 9

⇒ cos3θ + \(\frac{1}{cos^3θ}\) = (9)3 - 9 × 3

⇒ cos3θ + sec3θ = 729 - 27 = 702
