Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Given:
sinA+cosA=
3
4


Squaring both sides:

(sinA+cosA)
2
=(
3
4

)
2

sin
2
A+cos
2
A+2sinAcosA=
9
16


Since sin
2
A+cos
2
A=1:

1+2sinAcosA=
9
16


2sinAcosA=
9
16

−1=
9
7


sinAcosA=
18
7


Now, let's simplify the expression we need to find:

tanA+cotA=
cosA
sinA

+
sinA
cosA

=
sinAcosA
sin
2
A+cos
2
A

=
sinAcosA
1


Substitute the value of sinAcosA:

tanA+cotA=
18
7


1

=
7
18
