Let
θ
\theta
θ
be an acute angle such that
sin
θ
=
5
13
\sin\theta=\dfrac{5}{13}
sin
θ
=
13
5
. a. (i) Find
cos
θ
\cos\theta
cos
θ
and
tan
θ
\tan\theta
tan
θ
. b. (ii) Simplify the expression
S
=
sec
θ
(
1
−
sin
2
θ
)
+
tan
2
θ
S=\sec\theta\,(1-\sin^2\theta)+\tan^2\theta
S
=
sec
θ
(
1
−
sin
2
θ
)
+
tan
2
θ
and hence calculate its numerical value.
