    Question

    Calculate the value of

    sec75o
    A √2(√3 – 1) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B √2(√3 – 1) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C √3(√2 + 1) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D √3(√2 – 1) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    sec75oΒ = 1/cos75oΒ = {1/(cos (30 + 45)o} We know that cos(a + b) = (cosacosb – sinasinb) So, cos75oΒ = cos30oΒ Γ— cos45o – sin30oΒ Γ— sin45o So, cos75oΒ = {(√3/2) Γ— (1/√2) – (1/2) Γ— (1/√2)} So, cos75oΒ = {(√3 – 1)/2√2} So, sec75oΒ = {2√2/(√3 – 1)} = {2√2 Γ— (√3 + 1)}/{(√3 – 1)( (√3 + 1)} = √2(√3 + 1)
