If sin 23° = , then the value of sec 23° - sin 67° is _______.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. .
Given that
If sin 23° = ,
As we know,
sin 67° = sin (90° - 23°) = cos 23°
cos2 23° = 1 - sin2 23° = 1 - a2/b2 = (b2 - a2)/b2
Thus, the value of sec 23° - sin 67°
⇒ (1/cos 23°) - cos 23°
⇒ (1 - cos2 23°)/cos 23°
⇒ (1 - (b2 - a2)/b2)/√((b2 - a2)/b2)
⇒
