Identity used:

cosec2θ – cot2θ = 1

Calculation:

⇒ cosec θ + cot θ = m      ---- (1)

⇒ (cosec θ - cot θ)(cosec θ + cot θ) = 1

⇒ (cosec θ - cot θ) =1/m

⇒ cosec θ - cot θ = 1/m      ---- (2)

By adding (1) and (2), we'll get

2cosecθ = m + 1/m

cosecθ = (m2 + 1)/2m  ...(3)

By subtracting (1) and (2), we'll get

2cotθ = m - 1/m   ...(4)

cotθ = (m2 - 1)/2m

⇒ \(\rm\frac{m^{2}−1}{m^{2}+1}\)

Putting eq. (3) annd (4) in above expression:

⇒ 2mcotθ/2mcosecθ 

⇒ cotθ/cosecθ

⇒ cosθ

The value is cosθ.
