A) \[-\frac{1}{\sqrt{10}}\]
B) \[\frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}\]
C) \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{10}}\]
D) \[-\frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}\]
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
[a]: Since x lies in 3rd quadrant. So, cos x and \[\cos \frac{x}{2}\]are negative Now, \[\tan x=\frac{3}{4}\Rightarrow \cos x=-\frac{4}{5}\] Also,\[{{\cos }^{2}}\frac{x}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\{cos\,x+1\}=\frac{1}{2}\left\{ -\frac{4}{5}+1 \right\}=\frac{1}{10}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\cos \frac{x}{2}=\frac{-1}{\sqrt{10}}\]You need to login to perform this action.
