If cosec2θ + cot2θ = 3\(\frac{1}{2}\), 0° < θ < 90°, than (cosθ + sinθ) is equal to:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
cosec2θ + cot2θ = 3\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1+cot2θ + cot2θ = 3\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2cot2θ = \(\frac{7}{2}\) - 1
cot2θ =\(\frac{5}{4}\)
cotθ =\(\frac{\sqrt {5}}{2}\)=\(\frac{B}{P}\)
H=\(\sqrt {(\sqrt {5})^2+(2)^2}\) = 3
⇒ cosθ + sinθ =\(\frac{P+B}{H}\) = \(\frac{\sqrt {5}+2}{ 3}\)
