Question:
If sec\(\theta\) + tan\(\theta\) = 4, (\(\theta\neq\) 90º), then the value of cos\(\theta\) is – 
Options:
A) 0
B) \(\cfrac{8}{17}\)
C) \(\cfrac{17}{8}\)
D) \(\cfrac{4}{5}\)
Solution:
Ans: (b) Sec\(\theta\) + tan\(\theta\)  = 4 

sec\(\theta\) - tan\(\theta\)  = \(\cfrac{1}{4}\)

2 sec\(\theta\) = 4 + \(\cfrac{1}{4} = \cfrac{17}{4}\)

sec \(\theta\)= \(\cfrac{17}{8}\)

cos\(\theta\) = \(\cfrac{8}{17}\)
