Question:

The value of the expression $sin[cot^{-1}(cos(tan^{-1}1))]$ is :

Options:

$\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}$

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}$

$\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$

1

Correct Answer:

$\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → $\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}$

$\sin(\cot^{-1}(\cos(\tan^{-1}1)))=\sin(\cot^{-1}\cos\frac{π}{4})$

$=\sin(\cot^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})$

Using pythagoras triangle

so $\sin(\cot^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})=\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}$
