If cosθ=cos(π4)\cos\theta = \cos\left( \frac{\pi}{4} \right)then the most general value of \Rightarrow is.

A

θ=2nπ±π4\theta = 2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi}{4}

B

θ=π4\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}

C

2nπ±π42n\pi \pm \frac{\pi}{4}

D

tanθ=cotαtanθ=tan(π2α)\tan\theta = \cot\alpha \Rightarrow \tan\theta = \tan\left( \frac{\pi}{2} - \alpha \right)

Answer

tanθ=cotαtanθ=tan(π2α)\tan\theta = \cot\alpha \Rightarrow \tan\theta = \tan\left( \frac{\pi}{2} - \alpha \right)

Explanation

Solution

\Rightarrow{dividing by

sinθcosθ=2\sin\theta - \cos\theta = - \sqrt{2}

\Rightarrow 12sinθ12cosθ=1\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\sin\theta - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\cos\theta = - 1

\Rightarrow 12cosθ12sinθ=1cos(θ+π4)=cos(0)\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\cos\theta - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\sin\theta = 1 \Rightarrow \cos\left( \theta + \frac{\pi}{4} \right) = \cos(0).
