Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Given:
secθ−tanθ
secθ+tanθ

=
3
5


Applying Componendo and Dividendo:

(secθ+tanθ)−(secθ−tanθ)
(secθ+tanθ)+(secθ−tanθ)

=
5−3
5+3


2tanθ
2secθ

=

8


sinθ/cosθ
1/cosθ

=4⟹
sinθ
1

=4⟹sinθ=
4
1


From sinθ=
4
1

:

cscθ=4
cosθ=
1−sin

θ


=

cotθ=
sinθ
cosθ

=
1/4

/4

=
15



Substitute these values into the required expression:

cscθ+cosθ+cotθ=4+
