Trigonometrical Ratios and Identities 1 Question 9

9. The number of ordered pairs (α,β), where α,β(π,π) satisfying cos(αβ)=1 and cos(α+β)=1e is

(2005, 1M)

(a) 0

(b) 1

(c) 2

(d) 4

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 9. (b)

Solution:

  1. Since, cos(αβ)=1

αβ=2nπ  But 2π<αβ<2π[ as α,β(π,π)] αβ=0…(i)   Given, cos(α+β)=1e

cos2α=1e<1, which is true for four values of α.

[as 2π<2α<2π]
