If cot2θ = 1 - e2 , then the value of cosec θ + cot3θ sec θ is:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. .
cosec θ + cot3θ sec θ
⇒ cosec θ + cos3θ/sin3 θ × 1/cos θ
⇒ cosec θ + cos2θ/sin3 θ
⇒ ((cosec θ × sin3 θ) + cos2θ)/sin3 θ
⇒ ((cosec θ × sin θ × sin2 θ) + cos2θ)/sin3 θ
⇒ (sin2 θ + cos2θ)/sin3 θ
⇒ 1/sin3 θ = cosec3θ
Now,
We know that,
⇒ cosec2θ - cot2θ = 1
Put cot2θ = 1 - e2
⇒ cosec2θ - (1 - e2) = 1
⇒ cosec2θ - 1 + e2 = 1
⇒ cosec2θ = 2 - e2
⇒ cosecθ = (2 - e2)1/2
we have to find the value of cosec3θ
⇒ cosec3θ = (2 - e2)1/2 × 3
⇒ cosec3θ = (2 - e2)3/2
