The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we start with the given information: 1. **Given**: \( \tan \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} \) We need to find the value of: \[ \frac{\csc^2 \theta - \sec^2 \theta}{\csc^2 \theta + \sec^2 \theta} \] ### Step 1: Finding \( \csc^2 \theta \) and \( \sec^2 \theta \) Using the identity \( \csc^2 \theta = 1 + \cot^2 \theta \) and \( \sec^2 \theta = 1 + \tan^2 \theta \): - First, we calculate \( \tan^2 \theta \): \[ \tan^2 \theta = \left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} \right)^2 = \frac{1}{5} \] - Now, we find \( \sec^2 \theta \): \[ \sec^2 \theta = 1 + \tan^2 \theta = 1 + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{5}{5} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{6}{5} \] - Next, we find \( \cot^2 \theta \): \[ \cot \theta = \frac{1}{\tan \theta} = \sqrt{5} \quad \Rightarrow \quad \cot^2 \theta = 5 \] - Now, we find \( \csc^2 \theta \): \[ \csc^2 \theta = 1 + \cot^2 \theta = 1 + 5 = 6 \] ### Step 2: Substituting \( \csc^2 \theta \) and \( \sec^2 \theta \) into the expression Now we substitute \( \csc^2 \theta \) and \( \sec^2 \theta \) into the expression: \[ \frac{\csc^2 \theta - \sec^2 \theta}{\csc^2 \theta + \sec^2 \theta} = \frac{6 - \frac{6}{5}}{6 + \frac{6}{5}} \] ### Step 3: Simplifying the expression - First, simplify the numerator: \[ 6 - \frac{6}{5} = \frac{30}{5} - \frac{6}{5} = \frac{24}{5} \] - Now, simplify the denominator: \[ 6 + \frac{6}{5} = \frac{30}{5} + \frac{6}{5} = \frac{36}{5} \] ### Step 4: Final computation Now we can substitute these back into the expression: \[ \frac{\frac{24}{5}}{\frac{36}{5}} = \frac{24}{36} = \frac{2}{3} \] Thus, the final answer is: \[ \frac{\csc^2 \theta - \sec^2 \theta}{\csc^2 \theta + \sec^2 \theta} = \frac{2}{3} \]
