1 tan (4θ – 50°) = cot (50° – θ)

tan (4θ – 50°) = tan (90° – (50° – θ))
⇒ 4θ – 50° = 90° – (50° – θ)
⇒ 4θ – 50° = 90° – 50° + θ
⇒ 4θ – 50° = 40° + θ
⇒ 4θ – θ = 40° + 50°
⇒ θ = 30°

2 sec θ + tan θ = 2 + √5
⇒ sec2 θ – tan2 θ = 1
∵ (sec θ + tan θ) (sec θ – tan θ) =1

sec θ – tan θ =
√ 5+2
× √
1 5−2
=
√ 5+2 √ 5−2
= √ 5−2
∵ sec θ + tan θ + sec θ – tan θ = 2 + √5 + √ 5−2
2sec θ = 2√5
sec θ = √5
∵ sec θ + tan θ -( sec θ – tan θ) = 2 + √5 -( √ 5−2 )
2 tanθ = 4
tanθ = 2

sin θ=
√5
3 secθ – tanθ =1/√3 ....(i)

∵ (sec θ + tan θ) (sec θ – tan θ) =1

⇒ sec θ + tan θ=√3 ....(ii)
adding i and ii
2 sec θ= 3 +1/√3
sec θ=2/√3
now (ii ) - (i)
2 tan θ = √3 – 1/√3
tan θ = 1/√3
