Question : The square root of $\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2}$ is:

Option 1: $\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(\sqrt{3}+1)$

Option 2: $\pm \frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{3}-2)$

Option 3: $\text{none}$

Option 4: $\pm \frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{3}+1)$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\pm \frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{3}+1)$


Solution : Given: $\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$= \frac{1}{4}({4+2\sqrt{3}})$
$= \frac{1}{4}[1^2+(\sqrt{3})^2+2×1×\sqrt{3}]$
$= \frac{1}{4}(1+\sqrt{3})^2$
So, the square root of $\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$= \sqrt{\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2}}$
$= \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}(1+\sqrt{3})^2}$
$= \pm \frac{1}{2}(1+\sqrt{3})$
Hence, the correct answer is $\pm \frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{3}+1)$ .

Question : If $\sin \theta+\cos \theta=\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2 \sqrt{2}}$, then what is the value of $\tan \theta+\cot \theta$?

Option 1: $8(\sqrt{3}-2)$

Option 2: $12(\sqrt{3}-2)$

Option 3: $12(\sqrt{3}+2)$

Option 4: $8(\sqrt{3}+2)$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $8(\sqrt{3}-2)$


Solution : Given, $\sin \theta+\cos \theta=\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2 \sqrt{2}}$
Squaring both sides, we get,
⇒ $(\sin \theta+\cos \theta)^2=(\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2 \sqrt{2}})^2$
⇒ $\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta+2\sin\theta\cos\theta=\frac{3+1-2\sqrt3}{8}$
⇒ $1+2\sin\theta\cos\theta=\frac{4-2\sqrt{3}}{8}$
⇒ $2\sin\theta\cos\theta=\frac{2-\sqrt3}{4}-1$
⇒ $2\sin\theta\cos\theta=\frac{2-\sqrt3-4}{4}$
⇒ $\sin\theta\cos\theta=\frac{-2-\sqrt3}{8}$
Now consider, $\tan \theta+\cot \theta$
$=\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}+\frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}$
$=\frac{\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta}{\sin\theta\cos\theta}$
$=\frac{1}{\sin\theta\cos\theta}$
$=\frac{1}{\frac{-2-\sqrt3}{8}}$
$=\frac{-8}{2+\sqrt3}$
Rationalizing it, we get,
$=\frac{-8}{2+\sqrt3}\times\frac{2-\sqrt3}{2-\sqrt3}$
$=\frac{-8(2-\sqrt3)}{2^2-(\sqrt3)^2}$
$=\frac{8(\sqrt{3}-2)}{4-3}=8(\sqrt3-2)$
Hence, the correct
