Q) sec

+tan

=100,find the value of tan

+cot

Since, sec

+tan

=100
or 1+ sin

= 100cos

Squaring both the sides
(1+ sin

)(1+ sin

)= 10000 (cos

)((cos

or (1+ sin

)(1+ sin

)= 10000(1 - s
in2
) or (1+ sin

)(1+ sin

)= 10000(1 - s
in
)(1 + sin
) or (1+ sin
) = 10000(1 - sin
) or sin
= 9999/10001 (1) therefore cos
=[(1 -
(9999/10001)2]1/2= (200/10001) (2) now ,
tan
+cot
=sin
/cos
+ cos
/sin
= 1/sin
cos
sustituting the values of sin
and cos
from (1) and (2) we obtain, tan

+cot

= (10001)
2/[9999
×200]
