  • Cosine only is positive in Quadrant IV

Can you explain the answer of this question below:

tan x = - 5/12, x lies in the second quadrant. So sinx=?

  • A:

    5/13

  • B:

    -5/13

  • C:

    -12/13

  • D:

    12/13

The answer is a.

Krishna Iyer answered
tanx = -5/12
Therefore perpendicular = -5, base = 12
Applying pythagoras theorem,
(hyp)2 = (per)2 + (base)2
⇒ (-5)2 + (12)2
hyp = [25+144]1/2
hyp = (169)1/2
hyp = 13
sinx = perpendicular/hypotenous
= -5/13 
In second quadrant, only sin x, cosec x are positive
So. sinx = 5/13

 SinA = 1/√10 , SinB= 1/√5  If A and B are both acute angles,then , A+B=?
  • a)
    300
  • b)
    750
  • c)
    600
  • d)
    450
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Riya Banerjee answered
We know that:
Sin θ = Opposite / Hypotenuse
∴ SinA = 1/√10
CosA= 3/√10
similarly, SinB = 1/√5
CosB= 2/√5
Multiply:
Cos(A+B)= CosA x CosB - SinA x SinB
Substituting the value in above equation we get:
= 3/√10 x 2/√5 - 1/√10 x 1/√5
= 6/√50 - 1/√50
= 6-1/5√2. ........(√50=5√2)
= 1/ √2
we know that, sin 45 = 1/ √ 2 therefore
sinθ / cosθ = 45

For an angle in the fourth quadrant the point P has positive x coordinate and negative y coordinate. Therefore: In Quadrant IV, cos(θ) > 0, sin(θ) < 0 and tan(θ) < 0 (Cosine positive). The quadrants in which cosine, sine and tangent are positive are often remembered using a favorite mnemonic.

In any traingle The sum of 3 sides of a traingle is equal to 180°
Given 
A=72°
B=48°
A+B+C=180°
72°+48°+C=180°
C=180°-120°
C=60°

Can you explain the answer of this question below:
What is the value of  
  • A:
    √3/2
  • B:
    1/2
  • C:
    1
  • D:
    1/√2
The answer is d.

We know ,π = 180deg
So  cos 41π/4 = Cos( 41*180/4)
                         = Cos (1845deg)
                         = Cos (1800 + 45)
                         = Cos (10π + π/4)
                          = Cos (π/4)
                          = 1/√2
                          
 

cos(π/4 -x) cos ( π/4 -y)-sin(π/4-x) sin( π/4 -y)=
  • a)
    cos(x-y)
  • b)
    sin(x-y)
  • c)
    cos(x+y)
  • d)
    sin(x+y)
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Cos(π/4-x)cos (π/4-y) - sin (π/4-x) sin(π/4-y)
= CosA*Cos B - Sin A*Sin B
= Cos (A+B)
= cos(π/4-x+π/4-y)
= cos(π/2-x-y)
= cos{π/2 - (x+y)}
= sin(x+y)

What is the range of cos function?
  • a)
    [-1,0]
  • b)
    [0,1]
  • c)
    [-1,1]
  • d)
    [-2,2]
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Om Desai answered
Just look at the graph of cosine.
We know , Range of a function is the set of all possible outputs for that function. If you look at any 2π interval, the cosine function is periodic after every 2π.  as you can see it value range between -1 to 1 along the y-axis . So the range for cos function is [-1,1]

The value of tan 
  • a)
    √2 + 1
  • b)
    √2 – 1
  • c)
    ±√2 – 1
  • d)
    -√2 – 1
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Krishna Iyer answered
 tan(45°) = tan(45°/2 + 45°/2)
= 2tan(45°/2)/(1 - tan2(45°/2))
(Using expansion for tan(2x))
This implies, 1 = 2tan(45°/2)/(1 - tan2(45°/2))
Rearranging terms, tan2(45°/2) + 2tan(45°/2) - 1 = 0
Solving the quadratic equation x2 + 2x - 1 = 0 gives
x = (√2 - 1) or (-√2 - 1)
But tan(45°/2) lies in the first quadrant, therefore it should be positive.
tan(45°/2) = (√2 - 1)

Neha Joshi answered
sin(n+1)x cos(n+2)x - cos(n+1)x sin(n+2)x
⇒ sin[(n+1)x - (n+2)x] 
As we know that sin(A-B) = sinA cosB - cosA sinB
⇒ sin(n+1-n-2)
sin(-x) 
= -sinx

Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Om Desai answered
sinθ+cscθ=2
⇒ sinθ+1/sinθ=2
⇒ sin2θ−2sinθ+1=0
⇒ (sinθ−1)2 = 0
⇒ sinθ=1
⇒ sin2θ + csc2θ
= sin2θ + 1/sin2θ
= 1+1
= 2

  • a)
    2cot α
  • b)
    2cosec α
  • c)
    cot α
  • d)
    cosec α
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Pooja Shah answered
Correct Answer : a
Explanation :  {1 + cotα - sec(π/2 + α)} {1 + cotα + sec(π/2 + α)}
As we know that (a-b)(a+b) = a2 - b2
(1 + cotα)2 - [sec(π/2 + α)]2
1 + 2cotα + cot2α - (-cosecα)2
2cotα + 1 + cot2α - cosec2α
As we know that 1 + cot2α = cosec2α
= 2cotα + cosec2α - cosec2α
= 2cotα

Top Rankers answered
sin θ/3 
Multiply and divide it by '2'

Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Raghav Bansal answered
CosA + Cos(120o-A) + Cos(120°+A)
 cosA + 2cos(120° - a + 120° + a)/(2cos(120° - a - 120° - a)
we know that formula
(cos C+ cosD = 2cos (C+D)/2.cos (C-D) /2)
⇒ cosA + 2cos120° cos(-A)
⇒ cosA+ 2cos (180° - 60°) cos(-A)
⇒ cosA + 2(-cos60°) cosA
⇒ cos A - 2 * 1/2cos A
⇒ cosA-cosA
⇒ 0

  • b)
    A. P.
  • c)
    G. P.
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Aryan Khanna answered
cos A + cos B = 4 sin2(C/2​)
⇒ 2 cos (A+B)/2​ cos (A−B)/2 ​= 4 sin2(C/2​)
∵ A + B + C = π ⇒ A + B = π − C
⇒ cos (π−C)/2 ​cos (A−B)/2 ​= 2 sin2(C/2​)
⇒ sin C/2 ​cos (A−B)/2 ​= 2 sin2(C/2​)
⇒ cos (A−B)/2 = 2 sin (C/2​)
⇒ cos C/2 ​cos (A−B)/2 = 2 sin (C/2​) cos (C/2)​
⇒ cos (π−(A+B)​)/2 cos (A−B)/2 = sin C
⇒ 2 sin (A+B)/2 ​cos (A−B)/2​ = sin C
⇒ sin A + sin B = 2 sin C
∵ a/sinA​ = b/sinB​ = c/sinC​ = k
⇒sinA = ak, sin B = bk , sin C = ck
⇒ ak + bk = 2(ck)
⇒ a+b=2c
Therefore the sides of triangle a,b,c are in A.P.

A wheel makes 360 revolutions in 1 minute. Through how many radians does it turn in 3 seconds?
  • a)
  • b)
    36π
  • c)
    10π
  • d)
    12π
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Ayush Joshi answered
Number of revolutions made by the wheel in 1 minute = 360
∴Number of revolutions made by the wheel in 1 second =360/60 = 6
In one complete revolution, the wheel turns an angle of 2π radian.
Hence, in 6 complete revolutions, it will turn an angle of 6 * 2π radian, i.e.,
12 π radian
Thus, in one second, the wheel turns an angle of 12π radian.

What is the length of side c

  • d)
    4.56
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Neha Joshi answered
a = 4, b = 5
angle c = 60o
cos c = (a2 + b2 - c2)/2ab
= 1/2 = (16 + 25 - c2)/40
⇒ 20 = 41 - c2
c2 = 21
⇒ c = (21)1/2
⇒ c = 4.58

Gaurav Kumar answered
The general solution of the given question is theta= 2nπ± π/6 but it is mentioned that they are lies between -π to π. So when we put n=0 we get theta =±π/6. And when we put n= 1 we get theta does not lies between -π to ÷π. So we get only two values of theta.

Cos(-435°) =
  • a)
    cos15°
  • b)
    −cos15°
  • c)
    −sin15°
  • d)
    sin15°
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:

Given:
Angle = -435°

To find:
cos(-435°)

Approach:
We know that cosine function is an even function, which means cos(-x) = cos(x) for all x. Therefore, we can rewrite cos(-435°) as cos(435°) and find its value.

Solution:
-435° + 360° = -75°
cos(-435°) = cos(-75°)
Now, we can rewrite -75° as -90° + 15°, and use the cosine addition formula:
cos(a + b) = cos(a)cos(b) - sin(a)sin(b)
cos(-75°) = cos(-90° + 15°)
= cos(-90°)cos(15°) - sin(-90°)sin(15°)
= 0 - (-1)(sin15°)
= sin15°
Therefore, cos(-435°) = sin15°, which corresponds to option D) sin15°.

Lavanya Menon answered
L.H.S. = sin(60+A)cos(30−B)+cos(60+A)sin(30−B)

= sin(90+A−B)            
= sin(90+(A−B))            
= cos(A−B)            (Using, sin(90+θ)=cosθ)       = R.H.S.Hence Proved.

 A cow is tethered to a corner of a field with a rope of length 7 m. If she grazes on the length of 210 m , what is the angle through which the rope moves?
  • a)
    90 degrees
  • b)
    60 degrees
  • c)
    45 degrees
  • d)
    30 degrees
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Bansal answered
We know that in a circle of radius r units, if an arc of length l units subtends an angle theta radian at the centre, then theta = l/ r.

Here, r = 7 m (length of rope will be equal to radius) and l = 210 m (length of arc will be the length which the cow grazed)
 
Thus, theta = 210/ 7 radians = 30 deg.

Geetika Shah answered
Relationship, communication is key. It is important to be honest, open, and clear with your partner about your thoughts, feelings, and needs. When conflicts arise, it is important to approach them with a willingness to listen and understand the other person's perspective. It is also important to establish boundaries and respect each other's individuality. Building trust, showing appreciation and affection, and spending quality time together can also strengthen a relationship.

Neha Joshi answered
Range of cotx is (−∞,+∞)
Explanation:
The cotangent function can take up any values depending on the value of x , the independent variable.
And thus, the range (−∞,+∞) is justified.
The domain is all real numbers other than integral multiples of π where, the function is not defined.
