If sec θ – tan θ = M then sec θ + tan θ = \(\frac {1}{M}\).(a) False(b) TrueI got this question in a national level competition.My question comes from Trigonometric Identities in portion Trigonometry of Mathematics – Class 10

Answer» RIGHT option is (B) True

The explanation is: The appropriate TRIGONOMETRIC identity used here is SEC^2 θ – TAN^2 θ = 1.

(sec θ – tan θ) (sec θ + tan θ) = 1

M (sec θ + tan θ) = 1

(sec θ + tan θ) = \(\frac {1}{M}\)
