Question : If $\triangle A B C$ is right angled at $B, A B=12 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $\angle C A B=60^{\circ}$, determine the length of $BC$.
Option 1: $24 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}$
Option 2: $12 \mathrm{~cm}$
Option 3: $12 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~cm}$
Option 4: $12 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}$
Correct Answer: $12 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}$
Solution : Given, $\triangle$ABC is right angled at B, where AB = 12 cm and $\angle$CAB = 60° By using the trigonometric ratio involving AB and BC. To $\angle$CAB, AB is the adjacent side and BC is the opposite side. $\tan\angle CAB$ = $\tan 60°$
Question : If $x^{4}+\frac{1}{x^{4}}=34$, what is the value of $x^{3}-\frac{1}{x^{3}} $?
Option 1: 0
Option 2: 6
Option 3: 8
Option 4: 14
Correct Answer: 14
Solution : Given: $x^{4}+\frac{1}{x^{4}}=34$ Adding 2 to both sides, we get, $⇒x^{4}+\frac{1}{x^{4}}+2=34+2$ $⇒(x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}})^{2}=(6)^{2}$ $⇒x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}}=6$ Subtracting 2 from both sides, we get, $⇒x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}}-2=6-2$ $⇒(x-\frac{1}{x})^{2}=(2)^{2}$ $⇒x-\frac{1}{x}=2$ Now, $(x-\frac{1}{x})^3=x^3-\frac{1}{x^3}-3×x×\frac{1}{x}(x-\frac{1}{x})$ $⇒2^3=x^3-\frac{1}{x^3}-3×2$ $\therefore x^{3}-\frac{1}{x^{3}}=14$ Hence, the correct answer is 14.
