Given :

sec θ = 17/8

sec θ = 17 k /8 k

Where k is any positive.
By pythagoras theorem:

A C^{2} = A B^{2} + B C^{2}

B C^{2} = A C^{2} - A B^{2}

B C^{2} = 289 k^{2} - 64 k^{2}

B C^{2} = 225 k^{2}

BC = 15 k

Find sin

θ

and

cos θ

using their definition:

s in θ =

\frac{p er p e n d i c u l a r}{h y p o t e n u se} = \frac{15}{7}

cos θ

= \frac{ba se}{h y p o t e n u se} = \frac{15}{8}

Now,
LHS

\frac{3 - 4 s i n ^{2} θ}{4 co s ^{2} θ - 3}

\frac{3 - 4 \times ( \frac{15}{17} ) ^{2}}{4 \times ( \frac{8}{17} ) ^{2} - 3} = \frac{3 - \frac{4 \times 225}{289}}{4 \times \frac{64}{289} - 3}

= \frac{( 867 - 900 )}{( 256 - 867 )}

= \frac{33}{611}

RHS:

\frac{3 - t a n ^{2} θ}{1 - 3 t a n ^{2} θ}

\frac{3 - \frac{225}{64}}{1 - 3 \times \frac{225}{64}} = \frac{\frac{3 \times 64 - 225}{64}}{\frac{64 - 3 \times 225}{64}}

= \frac{( 19 - 225 )}{( 64 - 675 )}

= \frac{33}{611}

LHS = RHS

Verified.
