Solve the inequation `2^(1/(cos^2 x))sqrt(y^2-y+1/2)

Answer» `2^(1/cos^(2)x) sqrt(y^(2)-y+1//2) le1`…………(i)
`2^(1/(cosp^(2)x)) sqrt((y-1/2)^(2)+(1/2)^(2)) le1`
Miniumum value of `2^((1)/(cos^(2)x)=2`
Minimum value of `sqrt((y-1/2)^(2)+(1/2)^(2))=1/2`
`rArr` Minimum value of `2^(1/(cos^(2)x)) sqrt(y^(2)-y+1/2)` is 1
`rArr` (i) is possible when `2^(1/(cos^(2)x)) sqrt((y-1/2)^(2)+(1/2)^(2))=1`
`rArr cos^(2)x=1` and `y=1/2 rArr cosx = +1 rArr x=npi`, where `n in I`,

In any triangle ABC, `sinA -cosB=cosC`, then angle B isA. `pi/2`B. `pi/3`C. `pi/4`D. `pi/6`

Answer» Correct Answer - a
We have, `sinA-cosB=cosC`
`sinA=cosB+cosC`
`rArr 2sinA/2cosA/2=2cos(B+C)/2cos(B-C)/2`
`rArr 2sinA/c cosA/2=2cos(pi-A)/2 cos(B-C)/(2)` `therefore A+B+C=pi`
`rArr 2sinA/2 cosA/2=2sinA/2cos(B-C)/(2)`
`rArr cosA/2=cos(B-C)/(2)` or `A=B-C`, But A+B+C=`pi`
Therefore `2B=pi rArr B=pi/2`
