Math Problem Statement

If sece cosx = √2 and tane cota = √3, then find the values of tane and tand that satisfy the equations.

Solution

Let's solve this step by step.

Given:

  1. sececosx=2\sec e \cdot \cos x = \sqrt{2}
  2. tanecota=3\tan e \cdot \cot a = \sqrt{3}

Step 1: Understand the First Equation

The first equation is sececosx=2\sec e \cdot \cos x = \sqrt{2}.

Recall that: secθ=1cosθ\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} So, the equation becomes: 1cosecosx=2\frac{1}{\cos e} \cdot \cos x = \sqrt{2}

Simplify: cosxcose=2\frac{\cos x}{\cos e} = \sqrt{2}

So, the ratio between cosx\cos x and cose\cos e is 2\sqrt{2}.

Step 2: Understand the Second Equation

The second equation is tanecota=3\tan e \cdot \cot a = \sqrt{3}.

Recall that: tanθ=sinθcosθ,cotθ=cosθsinθ\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}, \quad \cot \theta = \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta} So, the equation becomes: sinecosecosasina=3\frac{\sin e}{\cos e} \cdot \frac{\cos a}{\sin a} = \sqrt{3} Simplifying: sinecosacosesina=3\frac{\sin e \cdot \cos a}{\cos e \cdot \sin a} = \sqrt{3} This can be rewritten as: sinesinacosacose=3\frac{\sin e}{\sin a} \cdot \frac{\cos a}{\cos e} = \sqrt{3}

Step 3: Solve for tane\tan e and tand\tan d

To solve for tane\tan e and tand\tan d, we'll need more information or assumptions about ee and dd.

Do you have any additional conditions or information for the angles involved? Or would you like me to further clarify or solve based on assumptions?
