Answer

$3$

Work Step by Step

Given: $\cos t=\dfrac{3}{5}$ This implies that $\sec t=\dfrac{1}{\cos t}=\dfrac{5}{3}$ and $\sin t=\sqrt {1-\cos^2 t} \implies \sin t=\sqrt {1-(\dfrac{3}{5})^2 }$ or, $\sin t=\dfrac{4}{5}$ As $t$ lies in the first quadrant, thus the value of $\sin t$ will be positive. Now, $\tan t+\sec t=\dfrac{\sin t}{\cos t}+\dfrac{5}{3}$ or, $\dfrac{4/5}{3/5}+\dfrac{5}{3}=3$
