Question : The value of $\left(\operatorname{cosec}^2 B-1\right)\left(\sec ^2 B-1\right)$ is:

Option 1: 4

Option 2: 3

Option 3: 2

Option 4: 1

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1


Solution : Given: $\left(\operatorname{cosec}^2 B-1\right)\left(\sec ^2 B-1\right)$
We know that
$\operatorname{cosec}^2 B = 1 + \cot^2 B$
$\sec^2 B = 1 + \tan^2 B$
$\left(\operatorname{cosec}^2 B-1\right)\left(\sec ^2 B-1\right) = \cot^2 B\times\tan^2 B$.
$=\cot^2 B \times \tan^2 B = \frac{1}{\tan^2 B}\times\tan^2 B = 1$
Hence, the correct answer

Question : If $x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}}=1$, then, what is the value of $x^{48}+x^{42}+x^{36}+x^{30}+x^{24}+x^{18}+x^{12}+x^{6}+1$?

Option 1: – 9

Option 2: 0

Option 3: 1

Option 4: 9

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1


Solution : Given: $x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}} = 1$
Adding 2 on both sides, we get,
$x^{2} + \frac{1}{x^{2}} + 2 = 1 + 2$
⇒ $x^{2} + \frac{1}{x^{2}} + 2×x^2×\frac{1}{x^{2}} = 3$
⇒ $(x + \frac{1}{x})^{2} = 3$
$x + \frac{1}{x} = \sqrt3$
Cubing both sides, we get,
