MCQ
If $\frac{{3\pi }}{4} < \alpha < \pi ,$ then $\sqrt {{\rm{cose}}{{\rm{c}}^2}\alpha + 2\cot \alpha } $ is equal to
  • A
    $1 + \cot \alpha $
  • B
    $1 - \cot \alpha $
  • $ - 1 - \cot \alpha $
  • D
    $ - 1 + \cot \alpha $

Answer

Correct option: C.
$ - 1 - \cot \alpha $
c
(c) $\sqrt {{\rm{cose}}{{\rm{c}}^2}\alpha + 2\cot \alpha } $

$= \sqrt {1 + {{\cot }^2}\alpha + 2\cot \alpha } = \,\,|1 + \cot \alpha |$ 

But $\frac{{3\pi }}{4} < \alpha < \pi \Rightarrow \cot \alpha < - 1 $

$\Rightarrow 1 + \cot \alpha < 0$ 

Hence, $|1 + \cot \alpha | = - (1 + \cot \alpha )$.
