Which of the following is incorrect?(a) sin θ = −1/5(b) cos θ = 1(c) sec θ = 1/2(d) tan θ = 20
Question \[ \text{Which of the following is incorrect?} \] (a) \(\sin\theta=-\frac15\) (b) \(\cos\theta=1\) (c) \(\sec\theta=\frac12\) (d) \(\tan\theta=20\) Solution We know that \[ -1\le\sin\theta\le1 \] \[ -1\le\cos\theta\le1 \] So options (a) and (b) are possible. Also, \[ \tan\theta \] can take any real value, so option (d) is possible. But \[ \sec\theta=\frac1{\cos\theta} \] Since \[ -1\le\cos\theta\le1
