Correct Answer: $\frac{a^2+1}{2a}$
Solution : Given: $\sec\theta+\tan\theta=a$ ---------------------(equation 1) We know, $\sec^2\theta–\tan^2\theta=1$ $⇒(\sec\theta+\tan\theta)(\sec\theta–\tan\theta)=1$ $⇒a(\sec\theta–\tan\theta)=1$ $⇒\sec\theta–\tan\theta=\frac{1}{a}$ -------------------(equation 2) By solving equations 1 and 2 we get, $\sec\theta=\frac{a+\frac{1}{a}}{2}$ $⇒\sec\theta=\frac{a^2+1}{2a}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{a^2+1}{2a}$.
