You can put this solution on YOUR website!
10 cos θ + 13 tan θ = sec θ
------
10cos + 13(sin/cos) = 1/cos
---------------------------------------
10cos^2 + 13sin = 1
----------------------
10(1-sin^2) + 13sin = 1
----------------------
10 - 10sin^2 + 13sin = 1
-------
10sin^2 - 13sin -9 = 0
-----
(2sin+1)(5sin-9) = 0
-----
Only acceptable solution::
sin(t) = -1/2
----
Ans:: t = (7/6)pi or t = (11/6)pi
