If cosec2θ + cot2θ = 4\(\frac{1}{2}\), 0° < θ < 90°, than (cosθ + sinθ) is equal to:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
cosec2θ + cot2θ = 4\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1+cot2θ + cot2θ = 4\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2cot2θ = \(\frac{9}{2}\) - 1
cot2θ =\(\frac{7}{4}\)
cotθ =\(\frac{\sqrt {7}}{2}\)=\(\frac{P}{B}\)
H=\(\sqrt {(\sqrt {7})^2+(2)^2}\) = √11
⇒ cosθ + sinθ =\(\frac{P+B}{H}\) = \(\frac{\sqrt {7}+2}{ √11}\)
