sin θ = 1 csc θ cos θ = 1 sec θ tan θ = 1 cot θ . \begin{aligned} \sin \theta &= \frac{1}{\csc \theta} \\ \cos \theta &= \frac{1}{\sec \theta} \\ \tan \theta &= \frac{1}{\cot \theta}. \end{aligned} sin θ csc θ + cos θ sec θ + tan θ cot θ = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 . \begin{aligned} \sin \theta \csc \theta + \cos \theta \sec \theta + \tan \theta \cot \theta &= 1 + 1 + 1 \\ &= \boxed{3}. \end{aligned}

If sin θ 0 \sin \theta \neq 0 or cos θ 0 \cos \theta \neq 0 the answer is 3.

Agreed. Without those conditions the answer should technically be "indeterminate".

Overrated problem factors are inverse each other. The best lesson is to watch and think before take the pencil.

1+1+1=3 as each term is the multiplication two trigonometric functions those are inverse to each other.

Sinx= 1/cscx,

Cosx=1/secx,

Tanx=1/cotx.

Therefore, sinxcosecx + cosxsecx + tanxcotx =1+1+1=3 which is the required ans.

1+1+1=3..... because sin, cos and tan are reciprocal terms of cosec, sec and cot respectively.

They are all inverse and cancel each other out to be 1. 1+1+1=3

Sin x csc = 1, cos x sec = 1, and tan x cot = 1. 1 + 1 + 1 = 3.

Becuse sin×csc =1 and cos×sec =1 and tan ×cot =1 so 1+1+1 =3 that is the ans

by definition cscΘ= 1/sinΘ secΘ= 1/cosΘ cotΘ= 1/tanΘ

So the problem simplifies to sinΘ(1/sinΘ)+cosΘ(1/cosΘ)+tanΘ(1/tanΘ) = 1+1+1 =3

an easy sum, cosecA= 1/sinA....secA=1/cosA......cotA=1/tanA.....SO WE GET 1+1+1 = 3

sin=1/csc, cos=1/sec, tan=1/cot (for an angle)
sin x csc=1, cos x sec=1, tan x cot=1
(sin x csc)+(cos x sec)+(tan x cot)=1+1+1=3
