Question

Select the correct option from the given alternatives:

If cosecθ − cotθ = q, then the value of cot θ is

Options

  • `(2"q")/(1 + "q"^2)`

  • `(2"q")/(1 - "q"^2)`

  • `(1 - "q"^2)/(2"q")`

  • `(1 + "q"^2)/(2"q")`

Solution

`(1 - "q"^2)/(2"q")`

Explanation:

cosecθ − cotθ = q ....(i)

cosec2θ − cot2θ = 1

∴ (cosecθ + cotθ) (cosecθ − cotθ) = 1

∴ (cosecθ + cotθ) q = 1

∴ cosecθ + cotθ = `1/"q"` ...(ii)

Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get

2cotθ = `1/"q"-"q"`

∴ cotθ = `(1-"q"^2)/(2"q")`
