If sec A = x + 1/4x then prove that tan A + secA = 2x or 1/2x
SecA = x+1/4x [given]
since , sec2A - tan2A =1
sec2A -1 = tan2A
[x +1/ 4x]2 -1 = tan2A
x2 + 1/16x2 -1/2 = tan2A
tan A = x - 1/4x or - [ x-1/4x]
so now , tanA + secA = x - 1/4x + x + 1/4x = 2x
if tanA = -[x-1/4x]
then tanA +secA = -x + 1/4x +x + 1/4x = 1/2x
HOPE THIS WOULD HELP YOU OUT
