- Asinθ > cosθ
- Bcotθ < 1
- Ctanθ < 1
- Dsecθ > cosecθ
Step-by-Step Solution
Below 45° the tangent is still climbing towards tan45° = 1, so tanθ < 1. In the same range cosθ > sinθ, which makes cotθ = cosθ/sinθ greater than 1 and secθ = 1/cosθ smaller than 1/sinθ = cosecθ. So the other three statements are each the reverse of the truth.
Answer: C) tanθ < 1
