- Asiθ + coθ is always the larger
- Bsiθ + coθ is always the larger
- Cthey are equal for every such θ
- Dwhich one is larger depends on θ
Step-by-Step Solution
With = sinθ·cosθ the two expressions are and . On 0° < θ < 90° the product is never zero, so and therefore . Check at θ = 30°: 0.625 against 0.4375, and at θ = 10°: 0.9415 against 0.9123. The two would be equal only at , which needs θ = 0° or 90° — both excluded — so the comparison never flips.
Answer: A) siθ + coθ is always the larger
