Answer

$u=1; v=-\tan x$

Work Step by Step

Rewrite the first equation as: $u=\dfrac{-v \cos x}{\sin x}$ Substitute the value of $u$ in the first equation to get the value of $v$. $-v \times \dfrac{\cos^2 x+\sin^2 x}{\sin x}=\sec x$ Therefore, the above equation yields: $v=-\sin x \sec x \implies v =\dfrac{-\sin x}{\cos x}=-\tan x$ Substitute the value of $v$ in the first equation to get the value of $u$. $u=\dfrac{-\tan x \cos x}{\sin x}=1$ So, the solution is $u=1; v=-\tan x$
