Question : If $\cos \theta+\sec \theta=\sqrt{3}$, then the value of $\cos ^3 \theta+\sec ^3 \theta$ is:

Option 1: $0$

Option 2: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

Option 3: $\sqrt{3}$

Option 4: $2 \sqrt{3}$

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $0$


Solution : Given, $\cos \theta+\sec \theta=\sqrt{3}$
Cubing both sides, we get,
$⇒\cos^3\theta + \sec^3\theta+3\cdot\cos\theta\cdot\sec\theta(\cos \theta+\sec \theta)=3\sqrt3$
⇒ $\cos^3\theta+\sec^3\theta+3\times 1(\sqrt3)=3\sqrt3$ [$\because \cos\theta=\frac{1}{\sec\theta}$]
⇒ $\cos^3\theta+\sec^3\theta+3\sqrt3=3\sqrt3$
⇒ $\cos^3\theta+\sec^3\theta=0$
Hence, the correct answer is $0$.

Question : If $\sin \theta \cos \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ then the value of $\left(\sin ^4 \theta+\cos ^4 \theta\right)$ is:

Option 1: $1$

Option 2: $\frac{5}{3}$

Option 3: $\frac{2}{3}$

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

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{3}$


Solution : Given: $\sin \theta \cos \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
We know that $\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1$
Squaring both sides,
$⇒\sin^4 \theta + \cos^4 \theta + 2\sin^2\theta\cos^2\theta= 1$
$⇒\sin^4 \theta + \cos^4 \theta + 2(\sin\theta\cos\theta)^2 = 1$
$⇒\sin^4 \theta + \cos^4 \theta + 2\times (\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}})^2 = 1$
