If $tan B =\frac{5}{3}$, what is the value of $\frac{cosec B + sin B}{cos B-sec B}$ ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
tanB = \(\frac{5}{4}\) = \(\frac{P}{B}\)
Using pythagoras theorem ,
P2 + B2 = H2
52 + 32 = H2
H2 = 34
H = √34
Now ,
$\frac{cosec B + sin B}{cos B-sec B}$
= ( \(\frac{√34 }{5}\) + \(\frac{5 }{ √34}\) ) × ( \(\frac{3 }{√34}\) - \(\frac{√34 }{ 3}\) )
= ( \(\frac{34 +25 }{5√34}\) × ( \(\frac{9 - 34 }{3√34}\)
= ( \(\frac{59 }{5\) × ( \(\frac{-25 }{3}\)
= - \(\frac{177 }{125\)
