Question
Question: If \[{{e}^{\dfrac{-\pi }{2}}}<\theta <\dfrac{\pi }{2}\], then – (a)\[\cos \log \theta <\log \cos ...
If e2−π<θ<2π, then –
(a)coslogθ<logcosθ
(b)coslogθ>logcosθ
(c)coslogθ≤logcosθ
(d)cosθ>logθ
Solution
Hint: At first write the inequation then apply ln function to all the sides of inequality to get the inequality as 2−π<lnθ<ln2π. Then apply cos function to write the given inequation as, 0<cos(lnθ)<cos(ln2π). From here get the inequality cos(lnθ)>0. Then use the fact that −1≤cosθ≤1. After then apply the in function to get ln(cosθ)≤0.
Complete step-by-step answer:
In the question we are given as inequality which is e2−π<θ<2π.
So, we are given that,
e2−π<θ<2π
Now we will take loge or ln to all the sides of inequality to write the equation as,
lne2−π<lnθ<ln2π
Here the sides of the inequality do not change because there is a property of in function that is a < b, then, lna<lnb.
We can write lne2−π as 2−π. So, we can write the inequality as,
2−π<lnθ<ln2π
Now, we will take cos to all the sides of inequalities so we get,
cos(2−π)<cos(lnθ)<cos(ln2π)
Here cos function will not change the sides of inequality as the values are very less to be considered.
We know that, cos(−θ)=cosθ.
So, cos(2−π) is equal to cos2π and as we know value of cos2π is 0.
So, we can write that, cos(lnθ) is greater than 0.
Now, as know cosθ always less than or equal to 1. So, we say that ln(cosθ) also less than or equal to ln(1) which is equal to ‘0’.
Hence, ln(cosθ)≤0.
We also found out that, cos(lnθ)>0.
Means we can write it as,
ln(cosθ)≤0<cos(lnθ)
Or, ln(cosθ)<cos(lnθ)
We can write it as,
log(cosθ)<cos(logθ)
So, the correct option is (b).
Note: While solving inequalities students generally confuse themselves while taking functions to all the sides of the inequality where or where not to change.
