Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 0.288 Given: Cos x = 3/5 Formula used: Sin x = perpendicular/hypotenuse, Cos x = base/hypotenuse, By Pythagoras theorem, Hypotenuse2 = Perpendicular2 + Base2 Calculation: According to the question: Cos x = 3/5 Base = 3 ⇒ Hypotenuse = 5 Hypotenuse2 = Perpendicular2 + Base2 ⇒ 52 = 32 + Perpendicular2 ⇒ 25 = 9 + Perpendicular2 ⇒ 25 – 9 = Perpendicular2 ⇒ Perpendicular2 = 16 ⇒ Perpendicular = √16 ⇒ Perpendicular2 = √(4 × 4) ⇒ Perpendicular = 4 Now, (Sin x – Sin3 x) ⇒ [(perpendicular/hypotenuse) – (perpendicular/hypotenuse)3] ⇒ [4/5 – (4/5)3] ⇒ [4/5 – 64/125] ⇒ (100 – 64)/125 ⇒ 36/125 = 0.288 ∴ The answer is 0.288. |
