Find the value of: \(\cfrac{\sec 17^\circ}{\csc 73^\circ} + \cfrac{\tan 68^\circ}{\cot 22^\circ} + \cos^2 44^\circ + \cos^2 46^\circ\)

Q.Find the value of: \(\cfrac{\sec 17^\circ}{\csc 73^\circ} + \cfrac{\tan 68^\circ}{\cot 22^\circ} + \cos^2 44^\circ + \cos^2 46^\circ\)

\(\cfrac{\sec 17^\circ}{\csc 73^\circ} + \cfrac{\tan 68^\circ}{\cot 22^\circ} + \cos^2 44^\circ + \cos^2 46^\circ\) \(= \cfrac{\sec 17^\circ}{\csc(90^\circ − 17^\circ)} + \cfrac{\tan 68^\circ}{\cot(90^\circ − 68^\circ)} + \cos^2(90^\circ − 46^\circ) + \cos^2 46^\circ\) \(= \cfrac{\sec 17^\circ}{\sec 17^\circ} + \cfrac{\tan 68^\circ}{\tan 68^\circ} + \sin^2 46^\circ + \cos^2 46^\circ\) \(= 1 + 1 + 1 = 3\) (Answer)
