Practicing Success
If $5 \sin ^2 \theta-4 \cos \theta-4=0,0^{\circ}<\theta<90^{\circ}$, then the value of $(\cot \theta+{cosec} \theta)$ is: |
$\frac{\sqrt{6}}{2}$ $\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}$ $\frac{3}{2}$ $\frac{2}{3}$ |
$\frac{\sqrt{6}}{2}$ |
We are given that :- 5sin²θ - 4cosθ - 4 = 0 { using , sin²θ + cos²θ = 1 } 5( 1 - cos²θ) - 4cosθ - 4 = 0 5 cos²θ + 4cosθ - 1 = 0 5 cos²θ + 5cosθ - cosθ - 1 = 0 5 cosθ (cosθ + 1 ) - 1 ( cosθ + 1 ) = 0 Either (5 cosθ - 1 ) = 0 or ( cosθ + 1 ) = 0 (cosθ + 1 ) = 0 is not possible So, (5 cosθ - 1 ) = 0 cosθ = \(\frac{1}{5}\) By using pythagoras theorem, P² + B² = H² P² + 1² = 5² P² = 24 P = 2√6 Now, ( cotθ + cosecθ ) = \(\frac{B}{P}\) + \(\frac{H}{P}\) = \(\frac{1}{2√6}\) + \(\frac{5}{2√6}\) = \(\frac{3}{√6}\) = \(\frac{3}{√6}\) × \(\frac{√6}{√6}\) = \(\frac{√6}{2}\) |
