Answer:

2/105

Step-by-step explanation:

"r" is the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two fractions. It can be found using Euclid's algorithm in the usual way.

(8/15) - (18/35) = 56/105 - 54/105 = 2/105 . . . . . this is (8/15) mod (18/35)

We can see that the next step, division of 54/105 by 2/105, will produce a remainder of 0, so the GCD is 2/105.

The greatest rational number r is 2/105.

_____

<em>Check</em>

The ratios are (8/15)/(2/105) = 28; (18/35)/(2/105) = 27. These whole numbers are relatively prime, so there is no larger r than the one we found.

Express secΦ in terms of tanΦ

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

$\sec\theta=\sqrt{1+\tan^2\theta}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The trigonometric identity is :

$\sec^2\theta-\tan^2\theta=1\\\\or\\\\\sec^2\theta=1+\tan^2\theta$

We need to express secθ in terms of tanθ.

The above equation becomes,

$\sec\theta=\sqrt{1+\tan^2\theta}$

Hence, this is the required solution.
