Explanation

sin 30 = 1/2, tan 45 = 1, sec 60 = 2. cosec 30 = 2, cot 45 = 1, cos 60 = 1/2. Numerator: 1/2 + 1 - 2 = -0.5. Denominator: 2 - 1 - 0.5 = 0.5. Result: -0.5 / 0.5 = -1.

AI explanation

Substitute the standard values sin(30 degrees) = 1/2, tan(45 degrees) = 1, sec(60 degrees) = 2, cosec(30 degrees) = 2, cot(45 degrees) = 1, and cos(60 degrees) = 1/2 into the expression. The numerator evaluates to 1/2 + 1 - 2, which equals -1/2. The denominator evaluates to 2 - 1 - 1/2, which also equals 1/2. Dividing the numerator by the denominator gives (-1/2) / (1/2), which results in -1.
