Question : If $21 \tan \theta=20$, then $(1+\sin \theta+\cos \theta):(1-\sin \theta+\cos \theta)=$?

Option 1: 5 : 2

Option 2: 3 : 1

Option 3: 7 : 3

Option 4: 2 : 1

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 7 : 3


Solution : Given: $21 \tan \theta=20$
⇒ $\tan \theta = \frac{20}{21}=\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}$
Let the perpendicular and the base be 20 units and 21 units respectively.
Use the formulas,
$\tan \theta=\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}$,
$\sin \theta=\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$,
$\cos \theta=\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$,
Pythagoras's theorem: $\text{Hypotenuse}^2=\text{Base}^2+\text{Perpendicular}^2$
⇒ $\text{Hypotenuse}^2={21}^2+{20}^2$
⇒ $\text{Hypotenuse}^2=441+400$
⇒ $\text{Hypotenuse}^2=841$
⇒ $\text{Hypotenuse}=\sqrt{841}$

Question : What is the simplified value of $(x^{128}+1)(x^{32}+1)(x^{64}+1)(x^{16}+1)(x^{8}+1)(x^{4}+1)(x^{2}+1)(x+1)?$

Option 1: $x^{256}-1$

Option 2: $\frac{x^{128}-1}{x-1}$

Option 3: $\frac{x^{64}-1}{x-1}$

Option 4: $\frac{x^{256}-1}{x-1}$

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{x^{256}-1}{x-1}$


Solution : Given: $(x^{128}+1)(x^{32}+1)(x^{64}+1)(x^{16}+1)(x^{8}+1)(x^{4}+1)(x^{2}+1)(x+1)$
Multiplying $(x-1)$ in both numerator and denominator,
$\frac{(x^{128}+1)(x^{32}+1)(x^{64}+1)(x^{16}+1)(x^{8}+1)(x^{4}+1)(x^{2}+1)(x+1)(x-1)}{(x-1)}$
Using identity: $(a^2-b^2)=(a-b)(a+b)$,
= $\frac{(x^{128}+1)(x^{32}+1)(x^{64}+1)(x^{16}+1)(x^{8}+1)(x^{4}+1)(x^{2}+1)(x^2-1)}{(x-1)}$
= $\frac{(x^{128}+1)(x^{32}+1)(x^{64}+1)(x^{16}+1)(x^{8}+1)(x^{4}+1)(x^4-1)}{(x-1)}$ 
= $\frac{(x^{128}+1)(x^{32}+1)(x^{64}+1)(x^{16}+1)(x^{8}+1)(x^8-1)}{(x-1)}$
= $\frac{(x^{128}+1)(x^{32}+1)(x^{64}+1)(x^{16}+1)(x^{16}-1)}{(x-1)}$
= $\frac{(x^{128}+1)(x^{32}+1)(x^{64}+1)(x^{32}-1)}{(x-1)}$
= $\frac{(x^{128}+1)(x^{64}+1)(x^{64}-1)}{(x-1)}$
= $\frac{(x^{128}+1)(x^{128}-1)}{(x-1)}$
= $\frac{(x^{256}-1)}{(x-1)}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{(x^{256}-1)}{(x-1)}$.
