tan2a=1- e2      i.e.       sec2a =2-e2
seca + tan3a coseca = 1/cosa + sin2a/cos3a = 1/cosa + (1-cos2a)/cos3a
= 1/cosa + 1/cos3a – 1/cosa = 1/cos3a = sec3a = (2-e2)3/2

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to your problem.

tan²θ=1-a²
LHS
=secθ+tan³θcosecθ
=√(1+tan²θ)+tan²θ×tanθ×√(1+cot²θ)
[∵, sec²θ-tan²θ=1 and cosec²θ-cot²θ=1]
=√1+(1-a²)+(1-a²)×√(1-a²)×√{1+(1/tan²θ)}
=√(2-a²)+(1-a²)×√(1-a²)×√{1+1/(1-a²)}
=√(2-a²)+(1-a²)×√(1-a²)×√{(1-a²+1)/(1-a²)}
=√(2-a²)+(1-a²)×√(2-a²)
=√(2-a²)×(1+1-a²)
=√(2-a²)×(2-a²)
=(2-a²)¹/²⁺¹
=(2-a²)³/²
=RHS (Proved)

Thanks and Regards
