Question:

If $\sin \theta=\frac{3}{4}$, show that $\sqrt{\frac{\operatorname{cosec}^{2} \theta-\cot ^{2} \theta}{\sec ^{2} \theta-1}}=\frac{\sqrt{7}}{3}$.

 

Solution:

$\mathrm{LHS}=\sqrt{\frac{\operatorname{cosec}^{2} \theta-\cot ^{2} \theta}{\sec ^{2} \theta-1}}$

$=\sqrt{\frac{1}{\tan ^{2} \theta}}$

$=\sqrt{\cot ^{2} \theta}$

$=\cot \theta$

$=\sqrt{\operatorname{cosec}^{2} \theta-1}$

$=\sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{\sin \theta}\right)^{2}-1}$

$=\sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)}\right)^{2}-1}$

$=\sqrt{\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)^{2}-1}$

$=\sqrt{\frac{16}{9}-1}$

$=\sqrt{\frac{16-9}{9}}$

$=\sqrt{\frac{7}{9}}$

$=\frac{\sqrt{7}}{3}$

$=\mathrm{RHS}$
