If \( \Large sec \theta +tan \theta =2 \), what is the value of \( \Large sec \theta \) ?
A) \( \Large \frac{3}{2} \)
B) \( \Large \sqrt{2} \)
C) \( \Large \frac{5}{2} \)
D) \( \Large \frac{5}{4} \)
Correct answer:
D) \( \Large \frac{5}{4} \)
Description for Correct answer:
By trigonometric identity,
\( \Large sec^{2} \theta -tan^{2} \theta =1 \)
=> \( \Large (sec \theta +tan \theta )(sec \theta -tan \theta )=1 \)
=> \( \Large sec \theta -tan \theta =\frac{1}{2} \) ....(i)
and given, \( \Large sec \theta +tan \theta =2 \) .....(ii)
On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
\( \Large 2sec \theta=\frac{1}{2}+2 \)
\( \Large sec \theta =\frac{5}{4} \)
