Simplify the expression: \(\frac{\tan\theta-\sec\theta+1}{\tan\theta+\sec\theta-1}\).

  1. \(\frac{\sin\theta+\cos\theta+1}{\sin\theta}\)

  2. 0

  3. 1

  4. \(\frac{1-\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}\)

Answer: D

Solution

Solution: Substitute \(\tan\theta=\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}\) and \(\sec\theta=\frac1{\cos\theta}\). Then the expression becomes \(\frac{\sin\theta-1+\cos\theta}{\sin\theta+1-\cos\theta}\). Simplifying using standard trigonometric identities gives \(\frac{1-\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}\). Trick: Replace tan and sec with sine and cosine, then simplify the fraction.
