Find (1 - sin² θ) (tan²θ + 1) - 1.
Question

Find (1 - sin² θ) (tan²θ + 1) - 1.

A.

2

B.

cosec² θ

C.

0

D.

-2

Correct option is C

Given:
(1sin2θ)(tan2θ+1)1(1 - \sin^2 \theta)(\tan^2 \theta + 1) - 1​​
Formula Used:
1sin2θ=cos2θtan2θ+1=sec2θ1 - \sin^2 \theta = \cos^2 \theta \\\tan^2 \theta + 1 = \sec^2 \theta​​
Solution:
Substituting the identities into the expression:
(1sin2θ)(tan2θ+1)1=cos2θsec2θ1=11=0(1 - \sin^2 \theta)(\tan^2 \theta + 1) - 1\\ = \cos^2 \theta \cdot \sec^2 \theta – 1\\ =1 - 1 \\= 0​​
Thus, the value of the expression is 0.
