MCQ
If $x = \sec \,\phi - \tan \phi ,y = {\rm{cosec}}\phi + \cot \phi ,$ then
- A$x = \frac{{y + 1}}{{y - 1}}$
- ✓$x = \frac{{y - 1}}{{y + 1}}$
- C$y = \frac{{1 - x}}{{1 + x}}$
- DNone of these
$ = \frac{{1 - \sin \,\phi}}{{\cos \,\phi}}\,.\,\frac{{1 + \cos \,\phi}}{{\sin \,\phi}}$
$ \Rightarrow \,xy + 1 = \frac{{1 - \sin \,\phi+ \cos \,\phi- \sin \,\phi\,\cos \,\phi+ \sin \phi \cos \phi}}{{\cos \phi\sin \phi}}$
$= \frac{{1 - \sin \,\phi+ \cos \,\phi}}{{\cos \,\phi\sin \,\phi}}$…..$(i)$
$x - y = (\sec \,\phi- \tan \,\phi) - (\cos ec\,\phi+ \cot \,\phi)$ $ = \frac{{1 - \sin \,\phi}}{{\cos \,\phi}} - \frac{{1 + \cos \,\phi}}{{\sin \,\phi}}$
$= \frac{{\sin \,\phi- {{\sin }^2}\phi- \cos \,\phi- {{\cos }^2}\phi}}{{\cos \,\phi\,\sin \,\phi}}$
$ = \frac{{\sin \,\phi - \cos \,\phi- 1}}{{\cos \,\phi \,\sin \,\phi}}$…..$(ii)$
Adding $(i)$ and $(ii)$ we get, $xy + 1 + (x - y) = 0$
$ \Rightarrow x = \frac{{y - 1}}{{y + 1}}$.
