Answer:
We know that:
Tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x)
We know that:
Tan(θ) = 1 = sin(θ)/cos(θ)
we can rewrite this as:
sin(θ)/cos(θ) = 1
sin(θ) = cos(θ)
If you know the table of notable angles, the angle such that this is true is θ = 45°
sin(45°) = 1/√2 = cos(45°)
Now we want to find the value of:
sec(θ) + cosec(θ)
Where:
sec(θ) = 1/cos(θ)
cosec(θ) = 1/sin(θ)
And we already know the values of the sine and cosine function, then:
sec(45°) + cosec(45°) = 1/cos(45°) + 1/sin(45°) = 2*(1/( 1/√2)) = 2*√2
Then, given that:
Tan(θ) = 1
We can conclude that:
sec(θ) + cosec(θ) = 2*√2
