If sinθ+cosθ=
3
11




, then what is tanθ+cotθ equal to?

  1. A
    5
  2. B
    9
  3. C
    7
  4. D
    11

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Given equation:
sinθ+cosθ=
3
11





Squaring both sides:

(sinθ+cosθ)
2
=(
3
11




)
2

sin
2
θ+cos
2
θ+2sinθcosθ=
9
11


Using the identity sin
2
θ+cos
2
θ=1:

1+2sinθcosθ=
9
11


2sinθcosθ=
9
11

−1=
9
2


sinθcosθ=
9
1


Now, we need to find the value of tanθ+cotθ:

tanθ+cotθ=
cosθ
sinθ

+
sinθ
cosθ


tanθ+cotθ=
sinθcosθ
sin
2
θ+cos
2
θ


tanθ+cotθ=
sinθcosθ
1


Substitute the value of sinθcosθ=
9
1

:

tanθ+cotθ=
9
1


1

=9
