Question
If cosx/siny = n and cosx/cosy = m, then the value of
cos 2 y is: 1. m 2 /(m 2 Â + n 2 )2. 1/(m 2 Â + n 2 )3. n 2 /(m 2 Â + n 2 )4. 0Solution
Since, cosx = nsiny
(nsiny)/(cosy) = m
ntany = m
tany = m/n
tan 2 y = m 2 /n 2
sec 2 y = 1 + m 2 /n 2 Â = (m 2 Â + n 2 )/n 2
cos 2 y = 1/sec 2 y = n 2 /(m 2 Â + n 2 )
Which numerical method approximates the definite integral of a function by dividing the area under the curve into trapezoids?
In numerical computing, what type of error occurs when a continuous function is approximated by a discrete sum or a finite number of terms?
Which statistical measure quantifies the average squared deviation of each data point from the mean?
The Newton-Raphson method is an iterative technique primarily used for:
The "standard deviation" is the square root of which other statistical measure?
What does a p-value less than a significance level (e.g., 0.05) typically indicate in hypothesis testing?
Which type of data can be ordered, but the differences between values are not meaningful (e.g., satisfaction ratings: "Good," "Better," "Best")?
