- Aseθ − coseθ
- Bseθ·coseθ
- Ctaθ + coθ
- D1
Step-by-Step Solution
Over a common denominator, seθ + coseθ = (siθ + coθ)/(siθ·coθ) = 1/(siθ·coθ), which is exactly the product seθ·coseθ. Check at θ = 30°: 4/3 + 4 = 16/3 and . The near miss taθ + coθ equals (seθ − 1) + (coseθ − 1), i.e. the same sum less 2; and the value is certainly not the constant 1, since it is never smaller than 4.
Answer: B) seθ·coseθ
