Question:

If $0 \leq \theta \leq 90^\circ$, and $\sec^{107} \theta + \cos^{107} \theta = 2$, then $(\sec \theta + \cos \theta)$ is equal to:

Options:

$2^{-107}$

2

$\frac{1}{2}$

1

Correct Answer:

2

Explanation:

We are given that :-

sec107 θ + cos107 θ = 2

Let us assume that θ = 0º

sec107 0º + cos107 0º = 2

1 + 1 = 2

2 = 2

LHS = RHS   ( satisfied )

So,  θ = 0º

Now,

( secθ + cosθ )

= ( sec0º + cos0º ) 

= 1 + 1

= 2
