Question:

The value of 2 - $\sqrt{\frac{cotθ+cosθ}{cotθ-cosθ}}$ when 0o < θ < 90o is equal to :

Options:

2 + secθ + tanθ

2 - secθ + tan θ

2 - sec θ - tan θ

2 = secθ - tanθ

Correct Answer:

2 - sec θ - tan θ

Explanation:

2 - $\sqrt{\frac{cotθ+cosθ}{cotθ-cosθ}}$

= 2 - $\sqrt{\frac{1+sinθ}{1-sinθ}} × \sqrt{\frac{1+sinθ}{1+sinθ}}$

= 2 - $\sqrt{\frac{(1+sinθ)2}{12-sin2θ}} $

= 2 - $\sqrt{\frac{(1+sinθ)2}{cos2θ}} $

= 2 - secθ - tanθ
