We have to find the limit of f(x)=(sin x-cos x)/cos 2x for x–> 45 degrees. We know that cos 2x = (cos x)^2 – (sin x )^2 lim x–> 0 [(sin x-cos x)/cos 2x] => lim x–> 0 [(sin x-cos…

What are sin x, tan x, cot x, if 180<x<270 and cos x=-4/5?
We have cos x = -4/5. Also 180< x< 270. For these values of x sin x is negative and so is cos x. We use the relation (cos x)^2 + (sin x)^2 = 1 => (-4/5)^2 + (sin x)^2 = 1 => (sin x)^2 =…
