If c o s x - s i n x = - 5 4 , where π 2 < x < 3 π 4 , then c o t x 2 is equal to
Options
- A4 - 7 9
- B8
- C- 8
- D4 + 7 9
Correct answer
D. 4 + 7 9
Step-by-step solution
Given, 4 cos x - sin x = - 5 4 1 - t a n 2 x 2 1 + t a n 2 x 2 - 2 tan x 2 1 + t a n 2 x 2 =- 5 ⇒ 4 - 4 tan 2 x 2 - 8 tan x 2 = - 5 - 5 tan 2 x 2 ⇒ t a n 2 x 2 - 8 tan x 2 + 9 = 0 ⇒ 9 cot 2 x 2 - 8 cot x 2 + 1 = 0 ⇒ c o t x 2 = 4 ± 7 9 Since, π 4 < x 2 < 3 π 8 ⇒ 2 - 1 < c o t x 2 < 1 ⇒ c o t x 2 = 4 + 7 9
