Given:

sec A = \(\frac{5}{4}\)

Concept used:

sec2θ - tan2θ = 1

sinθ.secθ = tanθ

Calculation:

\(\rm \frac{\tan A}{1 + \tan^2A} - \frac{\sin A}{\sec A}\)

\(\rm \frac{\tan A}{sec^2A} - \frac{\sin A}{\sec A}\)

\(\rm \frac{\tan A - sin\; A.sec\;A}{sec^2A}\)

\(\rm \frac{\tan A - tan\;A}{sec^2A}\)

\(\rm \frac{0}{sec^2A}\)

⇒ 0

∴ The required answer is 0.
