MCQ
For $A = 133^\circ ,\;2\cos \frac{A}{2}$ is equal to
  • A
    $ - \sqrt {1 + \sin A} - \sqrt {1 - \sin A} $
  • B
    $ - \sqrt {1 + \sin A} + \sqrt {1 - \sin A} $
  • $\sqrt {1 + \sin A} - \sqrt {1 - \sin A} $
  • D
    $\sqrt {1 + \sin A} + \sqrt {1 - \sin A} $

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\sqrt {1 + \sin A} - \sqrt {1 - \sin A} $
c
(c) For $A = {133^o},\frac{A}{2} = {66.5^o}$ 

==> $\sin \frac{A}{2} > \cos \frac{A}{2} > 0$

Hence, $\sqrt {1 + \sin A} = \sin \frac{A}{2} + \cos \frac{A}{2}$…..$(i)$

and $\sqrt {1 - \sin A} = \sin \frac{A}{2} - \cos \frac{A}{2}$…..$(ii)$

Subtract $(ii)$ from $(i)$, $2\cos \frac{A}{2} = \sqrt {1 + \sin A} - \sqrt {1 - \sin A} $.
