MCQ
If $\pi<\text{x}<2\pi,$ then $\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos\text{x}}{1-\cos\text{x}}}$ is equal to:
  • A
    $\text{cosec x}+\cot \text{x}$
  • B
    $\text{cosec x}-\cot \text{x}$
  • C
    $-\text{cosec x}+\cot \text{x}$
  • D
    $-\text{cosec x}-\cot \text{x}$

Answer

  1. $-\text{cosec}\text{ x} -\cot\text{x}$

Solution:

$-\text{cosec}\text{x} -\cot\text{x}$

$=\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos\text{x}}{1-\cos\text{x}}}$

$=\sqrt{\frac{(1+\cos\text{x})(1+\cos\text{x})}{(1+\cos\text{x})(1+\cos\text{x})}}$

$=\sqrt{\frac{(1+\cos\text{x})^2}{1-\cos^2\text{x}}}$

$=\sqrt{\frac{(1+\cos\text{x})^2}{\sin^2\text{x}}}$

$=\frac{(1+\cos\text{x})}{-\sin\text{x}}$ $ [\text{as},\pi<\text{x}<2\pi,\text{ so }\sin\text{x} \text{ will}\text{ be}\text{ negative}]$

$=-(\text{cosec}\text{ x}+\cot\text{x})$

$= -\text{cosec}\text{ x } -\cot\text{x}$
