Which of the following is the value of $\sqrt{\frac{1−sin 45°}{1+sin 45°}}$?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
\(\sqrt { \frac{1 - sin45°}{1 + sin45°}\ }\)
= \(\sqrt { \frac{1 - 1/√2}{1 + 1/√2}\ }\)
= \(\sqrt { \frac{√2-1}{√2 + 1 }\ }\)
on rationalizing ,
= \(\sqrt { \frac{(√2-1) × (√2-1) }{(√2 + 1) × (√2-1) }\ }\)
= \(\sqrt { \frac{(√2-1)² }{ 2 - 1 }\ }\)
= (√2-1)
Now, By solving one by one for each option,
Option 4 :- sec 45° − tan 45°
= √2-1
( satisfied )
So, Ans :- sec 45° − tan 45°
