Question

Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question. Verify that the equation is an identity. cot^2 u/2 = csc u + cot u/csc u - cot u Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question. Solve the problem. Use the exact value cos 36 degree = squareroot 5 + 1/4 and identities to find the exact value of csc 36 degree. squareroot 5 + 1 B) (squareroot 10 + 2 squareroot 5)(10 - 2 squareroot 5)/10 squareroot 10 - 2 Squreroot 5/2 D) (squareroot 10 - 2 squareroot 5)(10 + 2 squareroot 5)/20

Explanation / Answer

cos36 = [sqrt(5) +1]/4

csc36 = 1/ sin36

sin36 = sqrt[( 1 - cos^2(36))]

= sqrt[ 1 - (1 +5 +2sqrt5)/16 ]

= sqrt[(10 -2sqrt5)/16]

= sqrt(10 -2sqrt5]/4

csc36 = 4/sqrt(10 -2sqrt5]

rationalise the denominator:

= 4sqrt(10 + 2sqrt5]/(sqrt(100 - 20) )

= 4sqrt(10 +2sqrt5]/sqrt(80)
