Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Given equation:
6cos
2
θ+cosθ−2=0
Let cosθ=x. The equation becomes a quadratic equation:

6x
2
+x−2=0
6x
2
+4x−3x−2=0
2x(3x+2)−1(3x+2)=0
(2x−1)(3x+2)=0
So, x=
2
1

or x=−
3
2

.
Since 0

<θ<90

, cosθ must be positive.

cosθ=
2
1

⟹θ=60


Now, substituting θ=60

into the required expression:

csc60

+cot60

+tan60

=
