♣ ᴀɴꜱᴡᴇʀ :

We know :

\large\boxed{\sf{tan\theta=\dfrac{Height}{Base}}}

tanθ=

Base

Height

So comparing this formula and value of tan θ from question, we get :

Height = 1

Base = √7

Now we need to Prove the value of : \sf{\dfrac{cosec ^2 \theta - sec ^2\theta}{cosec^2\theta + sec^2\theta }=\dfrac{3}{4}}

Also :

\large\boxed{\sf{cosec\theta=\dfrac{Hypotenuse}{Height}}}

cosecθ=

Height

Hypotenuse

\large\boxed{\sf{sec\theta=\dfrac{Hypotenuse}{Base}}}

secθ=

Base

Hypotenuse

From this we get :

\large\boxed{\sf{cosec^2\theta=\left(\dfrac{Hypotenuse}{Height}\right)^2}}

θ=(

\large\boxed{\sf{sec^2\theta=\left(\dfrac{Hypotenuse}{Base}\right)^2}}

θ=(

Hypotenuse

But we have Height and Base, we dont have Hypotenuse.

Hypotenuse can be found by using Pythagoras Theorem

Pythagoras Theorem states that :

Hypotenuse² = Side² + Side²

For our question :

Hypotenuse² = Height² + Base²

Hypotenuse² = 1² + √7²

Hypotenuse² = 1 + 7

Hypotenuse² = 8

√Hypotenuse² = √8

Hypotenuse = √8

➢ Let's find value's of cosec²θ and sec²θ

First cosec²θ :

\large\boxed{\sf{cosec^2\theta=\left(\dfrac{Hypotenuse}{Height}\right)^2}}

cosec

θ=(

Height

\sf{cosec^2\theta=\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{8}}{1}\right)^2}cosec

θ=(

\sf{cosec^2\theta=\dfrac{8}{1}}cosec

θ=

cosec²θ = 8

Now sec²θ :

\large\boxed{\sf{sec^2\theta=\left(\dfrac{Hypotenuse}{Base}\right)^2}}

sec

θ=(

Base

Hypotenuse

\sf{sec^2\theta=\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{8}}{\sqrt{7}}\right)^2}sec

θ=(

\sf{sec^2\theta=\dfrac{8}{7}}sec

θ=

sec²θ = 8/7

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
