Given csc x/ cot x= √2, find a numerical value of one trigonometric function of x.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that
[tex]\csc x=\dfrac{1}{\sin x}[/tex]
and
[tex]\cot x=\dfrac{\cos x}{\sin x}.[/tex]
Then
[tex]\dfrac{\csc x}{\cot x}=\dfrac{\frac{1}{\sin x}}{\frac{\cos x}{\sin x}}=\dfrac{1}{\cos x}=\sec x.[/tex]
Since [tex]\dfrac{\csc x}{\cot x}=\sqrt{2},[/tex] you have that [tex]\sec x=\sqrt{2}.[/tex]
Answer:
Choice A is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have given the equation:
csc x/ cot x= √2.
We have to find a numerical value of one trigonometric function of x.
As we know that,
cscx = 1/sinx and cotx = cosx /sinx we get,
1/sinx / cosx /sinx = √2
1/cosx = √2
secx = √2
sec x = √2 is the answer.
