Question
Evaluate the following$: \tan(78^\circ + \theta ) +\operatorname{cosec}(42^\circ + \theta ) - \cot(12^\circ - \theta ) - \sec(48^\circ - \theta )$

Answer

$\tan(78^\circ + \theta ) + \operatorname{cosec}(42^\circ + \theta ) - \cot(12^\circ - \theta ) - \sec(48^\circ - \theta )$
$= \tan[90^\circ - (12^\circ - \theta )] + \operatorname{cosec}[90^\circ - (48^\circ - \theta )] - \cot(12^\circ - \theta ) - \sec(48^\circ - \theta )$
$= \cot(12^\circ - \theta ) + \sec(48^\circ - \theta )] - \cot(12^\circ - \theta ) - \sec(48^\circ - \theta )$
$= 0$
