  3. C12\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} and IInd\text{II}^{\text{nd}} quadrant
  4. D−152-\dfrac{1}{5\sqrt{2}} and IVth\text{IV}^{\text{th}} quadrant

Correct answer

B. −152-\dfrac{1}{5\sqrt{2}} and IIIrd\text{III}^{\text{rd}} quadrant

Step-by-step solution

The angle of inclination of a straight line always lies in the interval [0,π)[0, \pi).

For line L1L_1, the slope is tan⁡θ=−2\tan\theta = -2. Since tan⁡θ\tan\theta is negative and θ∈[0,π)\theta \in [0, \pi), θ\theta must lie in the IInd\text{II}^{\text{nd}} quadrant \left(\dfrac{\pi}{2} < \theta < \pi\right).<br>Thus,.<br>Thus,\sin\theta = \dfrac{2}{\sqrt{5}}andand\cos\theta = -\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{5}}.<br><br>Forline.<br><br>For lineL_2,theslopeis, the slope is\tan\phi = 3.Since. Since\tan\phiispositiveandis positive and\phi \in [0, \pi),,\phimustlieinthemust lie in the\text{I}^{\text{st}}quadrant(0<ϕ<π2)quadrant \left(0 < \phi < \dfrac{\pi}{2}\right).
Thus, sin⁡ϕ=310\sin\phi = \dfrac{3}{\sqrt{10}} and cos⁡ϕ=110\cos\phi = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{10}}.

Now, using the sine addition formula:
sin⁡(θ+ϕ)=sin⁡θcos⁡ϕ+cos⁡θsin⁡ϕ\sin(\theta+\phi) = \sin\theta\cos\phi + \cos\theta\sin\phi
⇒sin⁡(θ+ϕ)=(25)(110)+(−15)(310)\Rightarrow \sin(\theta+\phi) = \left(\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{5}}\right)\left(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{10}}\right) + \left(-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\right)\left(\dfrac{3}{\sqrt{10}}\right)
⇒sin⁡(θ+ϕ)=250−350=−150=−152\Rightarrow \sin(\theta+\phi) = \dfrac{2}{\sqrt{50}} - \dfrac{3}{\sqrt{50}} = -\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{50}} = -\dfrac{1}{5\sqrt{2}}.

To determine the quadrant of θ+ϕ\theta+\phi:
We know π2<θ<π\dfrac{\pi}{2} < \theta < \pi and 0<ϕ<π20 < \phi < \dfrac{\pi}{2}.
Adding these inequalities gives π2<θ+ϕ<3π2\dfrac{\pi}{2} < \theta+\phi < \dfrac{3\pi}{2}.
This means θ+ϕ\theta+\phi lies in either the IInd\text{II}^{\text{nd}} or IIIrd\text{III}^{\text{rd}} quadrant.
Since sin⁡(θ+ϕ)\sin(\theta+\phi) is negative, θ+ϕ\theta+\phi must lie in the IIIrd\text{III}^{\text{rd}} quadrant.

Answer: −152-\dfrac{1}{5\sqrt{2}} and IIIrd\text{III}^{\text{rd}} quadrant
