NIMCET | Mathematics | 2010Find a value of 2+2+2cos4θ:
Choose the correct answer:
- A.
2cos2θ
- B.
cos2θ
- C.
2cosθ
(Correct Answer) - D.
sin2θ
2cosθ
Explanation
1. Simplify the inner square root:
Consider the term 2+2cos4θ:
2(1+cos4θ)
Using 1+cos4θ=2cos22θ:
2(2cos22θ)=4cos22θ=2cos2θ
2. Substitute back into the main expression:
The expression becomes:
2+2cos2θ
3. Simplify the final square root:
2(1+cos2θ)
Using 1+cos2θ=2cos2θ:
2(2cos2θ)=4cos2θ
=2cosθ
Correct Option:
(c) 2cosθ
