Question : If $(x+\frac{1}{x})\neq 0$ and $(x^3+\frac{1}{x^3})= 0$, then the value $(x+\frac{1}{x})^4$ is:

Option 1: 9

Option 2: 12

Option 3: 15

Option 4: 16

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 9


Solution : Given: $(x+\frac{1}{x})\neq 0$ and $(x^3+\frac{1}{x^3})=0$
$(x+\frac{1}{x})^3=x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}+3×x×\frac{1}{x}(x+\frac{1}{x})$
Substitute the value of $(x^3+\frac{1}{x^3})=0$ in above equation, we get,
⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^3=0+3(x+\frac{1}{x})$
⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^3=3(x+\frac{1}{x})$
⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^{3–1}=3$
⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^2=3$
On squaring both sides of the above equation, we get,
⇒ $((x+\frac{1}{x})^2)^2=3^2$
⇒ $(x+\frac{1}{x})^4=9$
Hence, the correct answer is 9.

Question : If $\tan3\theta \tan7\theta = 1$, where $7\theta$ is an acute angle, then find the value of $\cot15\theta$.

Option 1: $1$

Option 2: $-1$

Option 3: $-\sqrt{3}$

Option 4: $\sqrt{3}$

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $-1$


Solution : $\tan3\theta \cdot \tan7\theta = 1$
⇒ $\tan 7\theta = \frac{1}{\tan 3\theta}$
⇒ $\tan7\theta = \cot3\theta$
⇒ $\tan7\theta = \tan(90° - 3\theta)$
⇒ $7\theta + 3\theta = 90°$
⇒ $10\theta = 90°$
⇒ $\theta = 9°$
$\therefore$ $\cot15\theta = \cot (15\times 9)°=\cot135° = \cot(90° + 45°)=-\tan45°
