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

$${let}\:\mathrm{cot}\:\left({x}\right)+\mathrm{cosec}\:\left({x}\right)\:=\:{t} \\ $$$$\left({i}\right)\:\left\{\mathrm{tan}\:\left({x}\right)+\mathrm{sec}\:\left({x}\right)\right\}×\left\{\mathrm{cot}\:\left({x}\right)+\mathrm{cosec}\:\left({x}\right)\right\}=\:\frac{\mathrm{7}{t}}{\mathrm{8}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{1}+\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{cos}\:\left({x}\right)}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{sin}\:\left({x}\right)}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{sin}\:\left({x}\right)\mathrm{cos}\:\left({x}\right)}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{7}{t}}{\mathrm{8}} \\ $$$$\left({ii}\right)\:−\frac{\mathrm{sin}\:\left({x}\right)}{\mathrm{cos}\:\left({x}\right)}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{cos}\:\left({x}\right)}\:=\:−\frac{\mathrm{7}}{\mathrm{8}} \\ $$$$\left({iii}\right)\:−\frac{\mathrm{cos}\:\left({x}\right)}{\mathrm{sin}\:\left({x}\right)}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{sin}\:\left({x}\right)}\:=\:−{t} \\ $$$$\left({i}\right)+\left({ii}\right)+\left({iii}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{1}\:=\:−\frac{{t}}{\mathrm{8}}−\frac{\mathrm{7}}{\mathrm{8}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow−\mathrm{8}\:=\:{t}+\mathrm{7}\:\Rightarrow\:{t}\:=\:−\mathrm{15}\: \\ $$$$\therefore\:\mathrm{cot}\:\left({x}\right)+\mathrm{cosec}\:\left({x}\right)\:=\:−\mathrm{15}\: \\ $$

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
