The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( \csc B - \cos A \) in triangle \( \Delta ABC \) where \( \angle C = 90^\circ \), \( AB = c \), \( BC = a \), and \( CA = b \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Triangle and Angles**: - We have a right triangle \( \Delta ABC \) with \( \angle C = 90^\circ \). - The sides are defined as follows: \( AB = c \) (hypotenuse), \( BC = a \) (opposite to angle A), and \( CA = b \) (opposite to angle B). 2. **Write the Definitions of \( \csc B \) and \( \cos A \)**: - The cosecant of angle \( B \) is defined as: \[ \csc B = \frac{1}{\sin B} = \frac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\text{opposite to } B} = \frac{c}{a} \] - The cosine of angle \( A \) is defined as: \[ \cos A = \frac{\text{adjacent to } A}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{b}{c} \] 3. **Substitute the Values into the Expression**: - We need to calculate \( \csc B - \cos A \): \[ \csc B - \cos A = \frac{c}{a} - \frac{b}{c} \] 4. **Find a Common Denominator**: - The common denominator for the two fractions is \( ac \): \[ \csc B - \cos A = \frac{c^2}{ac} - \frac{b \cdot a}{ac} = \frac{c^2 - ab}{ac} \] 5. **Use the Pythagorean Theorem**: - According to the Pythagorean theorem, we know that: \[ c^2 = a^2 + b^2 \] - Therefore, we can express \( c^2 - b^2 \) as: \[ c^2 - b^2 = a^2 \] 6. **Substitute Back into the Expression**: - Now substitute \( c^2 - b^2 \) into our expression: \[ \csc B - \cos A = \frac{a^2}{ac} = \frac{a}{c} \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( \csc B - \cos A \) is: \[ \frac{a}{c} \]
