If $2\sin θ-1=0$, then find the value of $2\cos^2θ-\sin^3θ$.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
sin θ = \(\frac{1}{2}\) = sin 30º
So, θ = 30º
Now, $2\cos^2θ-\sin^3θ$
= $2\cos^230º-\sin^330º$
= 2 × \(\frac{3}{4}\) - \(\frac{1}{8}\)
= \(\frac{3}{2}\) - \(\frac{1}{8}\)
= \(\frac{12 - 1}{8}\)
= \(\frac{11}{8}\)
The correct answer is Option (3) → \(\frac{11}{8}\)
