Question : What is the slope of the line parallel to the line passing through the points (5, – 1) and (4, – 4)?

Option 1: $– 3$

Option 2: $\frac{–1}{3}$

Option 3: $3$

Option 4: $\frac{1}{3}$

Team Careers360 9th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $3$


Solution : Given: The points are (5, –1) and (4, –4).
$\text{Slope}=\frac{y_2–y_1}{x_2–x_1}$
Substitute the given values in the above formula, we get,
$\frac{–4–(–1)}{4–5}=\frac{–3}{–1}$
So, the slope of the given line is 3. The slope of the line parallel to this line is also the same.
Hence, the

Question : If $\tan \frac{A}{2}=x$, then find $x$.

Option 1: $\frac{\sqrt{1+\cos A}}{\sqrt{1-\cos A}}$

Option 2: $\frac{\sqrt{1-\sin A}}{\sqrt{1+\cos A}}$

Option 3: $\frac{\sqrt{1-\cos A}}{\sqrt{1+\cos A}}$

Option 4: $\frac{\sqrt{\cos A-1}}{\sqrt{1+\cos A}}$

Team Careers360 11th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{\sqrt{1-\cos A}}{\sqrt{1+\cos A}}$


Solution : Given: $\tan\frac{A}{2}=x$
We know,
$\cos A=1-2\sin^2(\frac{A}{2})$
⇒ $\sin(\frac{A}{2})=\sqrt{\frac{1–\cos A}{2}}$
Also, $\cos A=2\cos^2(\frac{A}{2})–1$
⇒ $\cos(\frac{A}{2})=\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos A}{2}}$
Now, $\tan\frac{A}{2}=\frac{\sin(\frac{A}{2})}{\cos(\frac{A}{2})}$
⇒ $x=\sqrt{\frac{1–\cos A}{2}}×\sqrt{\frac{2}{1+\cos A}}$
$\therefore x=\frac{\sqrt{1-\cos A}}{\sqrt{1+\cos A}}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{\sqrt{1-\cos A}}{\sqrt{1+\cos A}}$.

Question : What will be the value of $\cos x \operatorname{cosec} x - \sin x \sec x$?

Option 1: $\cot \frac{2x}{2}$

Option 2: $\tan 2 x $

Option 3: $\cot 2 x $

Option 4: $ 2 \cot 2x$

Team Careers360 13th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $ 2 \cot 2x$


Solution : Given: $\cos x \operatorname{cosec} x – \sin x \sec x$
= $\frac{\cos x}{\sin x} - \frac{\sin x}{\cos x}$
= $\frac{\cos x \cos x - \sin x \sin x}{\cos x \sin x}$
= $\frac{2(\cos^2 x - \sin^2 x)}{2\sin x \cos x}$
= $\frac{2\cos
