let cot (x)+cosec (x) = t  (i) {tan (x)+sec (x)}×{cot (x)+cosec (x)}= ((7t)/8)  1+ (1/(cos (x)))+(1/(sin (x)))+(1/(sin (x)cos (x))) = ((7t)/8)  (ii) −((sin (x))/(cos (x)))−(1/(cos (x))) = −(7/8)  (iii) −((cos (x))/(sin (x)))−(1/(sin (x))) = −t  (i)+(ii)+(iii)  ⇒ 1 = −(t/8)−(7/8)  ⇒−8 = t+7 ⇒ t = −15   ∴ cot (x)+cosec (x) = −15

let  tan x = t  sec x = (√(1+t^2 ))  cot x = (1/t)  csc x = ((√(1+t^2 ))/t)  t+(√(1+t^2 ))=(7/8)  ⇒1+t^2 =((49)/(64))+t^2 −(7/4)t  ⇒(7/4)t=((49)/(64))−1=((−15)/(64))  ⇒t=((−15)/(112))  (√(1+t^2 ))=(7/8)−t=(7/8)+((15)/(112))=((98+15)/(112))=((113)/(112))  (1/t)+((√(1+t^2 ))/t)=((1+(√(1+t^2 )))/t)=((1+((113)/(112)))/((−15)/(112)))=−((225)/(15))=−15  cot x + csc x = −15  I think there should be one more value when  x is in IV quadrant
