    We are tasked with finding the maximum value of 1/secθ for 0° ≤ θ < 90°.

    Step 1: Recall the definition of secant
    The secant function is defined as:
    secθ = 1/cosθ.

    Thus, the reciprocal of secant is:
    1/secθ = cosθ.

    Step 2: Analyze the behavior of cosθ in the given range
    For 0° ≤ θ < 90°:
    – The cosine function decreases from cos 0° = 1 to cos 90° = 0 (but does not actually reach 0 since θ < 90°).
    – Therefore, the maximum value of cosθ occurs at θ = 0°.

    At θ = 0°:
    cos 0° = 1.

    Step 3: Conclusion
    The maximum value of 1/secθ is equal to the maximum value of cosθ, which is 1.

    The correct answer is:
    a) 1

  2. We are given the equation: sin 2A = 2 sin A. Step 1: Recall the double-angle identity for sine The double-angle identity for sine is: sin 2A = 2 sin A cos A.

    We are given the equation:
    sin 2A = 2 sin A.

    Step 1: Recall the double-angle identity for sine
    The double-angle identity for sine is:
    sin 2A = 2 sin A cos A.

    Substitute this into the given equation:
    2 sin A cos A = 2 sin A.

    Step 2: Simplify the equation
    Divide both sides of the equation by 2 (assuming sin A ≠ 0):
    sin A cos A = sin A.

    Rearrange the terms:
    sin A cos A – sin A = 0.

    Factor out sin A:
    sin A (cos A – 1) = 0.

    Step 3: Solve for A
    This equation is satisfied if either:
    1. sin A = 0, or
    2. cos A – 1 = 0.

    Case 1: sin A = 0
    The sine function is zero when A = 0°, 180°, etc. Among the given options, A = 0° satisfies this condition.

    Case 2: cos A – 1 = 0
    Solve for cos A:
    cos A = 1.

    The cosine function equals 1 when A = 0°, 360°, etc. Again, among the given options, A = 0° satisfies this condition.

    Step 4: Verify the solution
    Substitute A = 0° into the original equation:
    sin 2(0°) = 2 sin(0°).

    The left-hand side:
    sin 2(0°) = sin 0° = 0.

    The right-hand side:
    2 sin(0°) = 2(0) = 0.

    Since both sides are equal, A = 0° satisfies the equation.

    Step 5: Final Answer
    The value of A is 0°.

    The correct answer is:
    a) 0°

  3. We are given: 16 cot x = 12. Step 1: Solve for cot x Rearrange the equation to solve for cot x: cot x = 12/16 = 3/4. Step 2: Express tan x in terms of cot x Using the identity cot x = 1/tan x, we can write: tan x = 1/cot x = 1/(3/4) = 4/3. Step 3: Express sin x and cos x in terms of tan x Using theRead more

    We are given:
    16 cot x = 12.

    Step 1: Solve for cot x
    Rearrange the equation to solve for cot x:
    cot x = 12/16 = 3/4.

    Step 2: Express tan x in terms of cot x
    Using the identity cot x = 1/tan x, we can write:
    tan x = 1/cot x = 1/(3/4) = 4/3.

    Step 3: Express sin x and cos x in terms of tan x
    Using the identity tan x = sin x / cos x, we can write:
    sin x = 4k and cos x = 3k,
    where k is a positive constant such that sin²x + cos²x = 1 (Pythagorean identity).

    Substitute sin x = 4k and cos x = 3k into the identity:
    (4k)² + (3k)² = 1
    16k² + 9k² = 1
    25k² = 1
    k² = 1/25
    k = √(1/25)
    k = 1/5.

    Thus:
    sin x = 4k = 4/5,
    cos x = 3k = 3/5.

    Step 4: Simplify the given expression
    We are tasked with finding the value of:
    (sin x – cos x) / (sin x + cos x).

    Substitute sin x = 4/5 and cos x = 3/5 into the expression:

    Numerator:
    sin x – cos x = (4/5) – (3/5)
    = (4 – 3)/5
    = 1/5.

    Denominator:
    sin x + cos x = (4/5) + (3/5)
    = (4 + 3)/5
    = 7/5.

    Thus, the entire expression becomes:
    (sin x – cos x) / (sin x + cos x) = (1/5) / (7/5).

    Simplify:
    (1/5) / (7/5) = 1/7.

    Step 5: Final Answer
    The value of (sin x – cos x) / (sin x + cos x) is 1/7.

    The correct answer is:
    a) 1/7

    We are given that the angles A, B, and C of a triangle △ABC form an increasing arithmetic progression (AP). We need to find the value of sin B.

    Step 1: Properties of angles in a triangle
    The sum of the angles in any triangle is:
    A + B + C = 180°.

    Since A, B, and C form an increasing arithmetic progression, let the common difference of the AP be d. Then we can write:
    A = B – d, B = B, C = B + d.

    Substitute these into the angle sum property:
    (B – d) + B + (B + d) = 180°.

    Simplify:
    3B = 180°.

    Solve for B:
    B = 60°.

    Step 2: Find sin B
    Now that we know B = 60°, we use the standard trigonometric value:
    sin 60° = √3/2.

    Step 3: Final Answer
    The value of sin B is:
    √3/2.

    The correct answer is:
    b) √3/2

    To determine which of the given trigonometric expressions is not defined, we analyze each option based on the definitions and properties of trigonometric functions.

    Step 1: Analyze each option

    a) cos 0°
    The cosine function is defined for all real numbers. The value of cos 0° is:
    cos 0° = 1.
    Thus, cos 0° is defined.

    b) tan 45°
    The tangent function is defined as tan θ = sin θ / cos θ. For θ = 45°:
    tan 45° = sin 45° / cos 45° = (1/√2) / (1/√2) = 1.
    Thus, tan 45° is defined.

    c) sec 90°
    The secant function is defined as sec θ = 1 / cos θ. For θ = 90°:
    cos 90° = 0.
    Since division by zero is undefined, sec 90° = 1 / cos 90° = 1 / 0 is not defined.
    Thus, sec 90° is not defined.

    d) sin 90°
    The sine function is defined for all real numbers. The value of sin 90° is:
    sin 90° = 1.
    Thus, sin 90° is defined.

    Step 2: Final Answer
    The expression that is not defined is:
    c) sec 90°.
