Find the value of the x which will satisfy sec A cosec `(90^@-A)-x cot (90^@-A)=1`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( \sec A \csc (90^\circ - A) - x \cot (90^\circ - A) = 1 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Use Trigonometric Identities We know the following trigonometric identities: - \( \csc(90^\circ - A) = \sec A \) - \( \cot(90^\circ - A) = \tan A \) Substituting these identities into the equation gives us: \[ \sec A \cdot \sec A - x \cdot \tan A = 1 \] ### Step 2: Simplify the Equation This simplifies to: \[ \sec^2 A - x \tan A = 1 \] ### Step 3: Rearrange the Equation Rearranging the equation to isolate \( x \tan A \): \[ \sec^2 A - 1 = x \tan A \] ### Step 4: Use the Pythagorean Identity We know from the Pythagorean identity that: \[ \sec^2 A - 1 = \tan^2 A \] Substituting this into our equation gives: \[ \tan^2 A = x \tan A \] ### Step 5: Factor the Equation We can factor the equation: \[ \tan A (\tan A - x) = 0 \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( x \) This gives us two possible solutions: 1. \( \tan A = 0 \) (which is not a solution for \( x \)) 2. \( \tan A - x = 0 \) or \( x = \tan A \) Thus, the value of \( x \) that satisfies the original equation is: \[ x = \tan A \] ### Final Answer The value of \( x \) is \( \tan A \). ---
