If $\cos \theta-\sin \theta=\sqrt{3} \cos \left(90^{\circ}-\theta\right), 0^{\circ}<\theta<90^{\circ}$ then find the value of $\tan \theta-\cot \theta$. |
$\frac{3-2 \sqrt{3}}{(1+\sqrt{3})}$ $-\frac{3+2 \sqrt{3}}{(1+\sqrt{3})}$ $-\frac{3+2 \sqrt{3}}{(1-\sqrt{3})}$ $\frac{3+2 \sqrt{3}}{(1+\sqrt{3})}$ |
$-\frac{3+2 \sqrt{3}}{(1+\sqrt{3})}$ |
We are given that :- cosθ - sinθ = √3 cos (90º - θ) { using , sinθ = cos (90º - θ) } cosθ - sinθ = √3sin θ cosθ = ( √3 + 1 ) sin θ cot θ = ( √3 + 1 ) & tanθ = \(\frac{1}{ √3 + 1}\) Now, tanθ - cotθ = \(\frac{1}{ (√3 + 1)}\) - ( √3 + 1 ) = \(\frac{1 - (√3 + 1 )² }{ (√3 + 1)}\) = \(\frac{1 - 3 - 1 - 2√3 }{ (√3 + 1)}\) = \(\frac{-3 - 2√3 }{ (√3 + 1)}\) = - \(\frac{3 + 2√3 }{ (√3 + 1)}\) |
