  • False

MCQ
True or False

Solution

This statement is False.

Explanation:

We know that,

sin θ increases when 0° ≤ θ ≤ 90°

cos θ decreases when 0° ≤ θ ≤ 90°

And (sin 80° – cos 80°) = (increasing value-decreasing value) which is always equal to a positive value.

∴ (sin 80° – cos 80°) > 0, which is positive ...(Not negative).

Prove that sec θ + tan θ = `cos θ/(1 - sin θ)`.

Proof: L.H.S. = sec θ + tan θ

= `1/square + square/square`

= `square/square`  ......`(∵ sec θ = 1/square, tan θ = square/square)`

= `((1 + sin θ) square)/(cos θ  square)`  ......[Multiplying `square` with the numerator and denominator]

= `(1^2 - square)/(cos θ  square)`

= `square/(cos θ  square)`

= `cos θ/(1 - sin θ)` = R.H.S.

∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.

∴ sec θ + tan θ = `cos θ/(1 - sin θ)`
