Question:

If sinθ + cosec θ = 5 , find the value of sin3θ + cosec3θ.

Options:

120

105

110

115

Correct Answer:

110

Explanation:

Formula I → [cosec = \(\frac{1}{sinθ}\)]

Formula II → [If x + \(\frac{1}{x}\) = n and x3 + \(\frac{1}{x^3}\) = n3 - 3n]

sinθ + \(\frac{1}{sinθ}\) = 5

⇒ sin3θ + \(\frac{1}{sin^3θ}\) = (5)3 - 3 × 5

⇒ sin3θ + cosec3θ = 125 - 15 = 110
