If sin θ = xy and 0o < 90o then find 1tanθ

A.

xy2x2

B.

yx

C.

y2+x2y2x2

D.

y2x2x

Correct answer is D

1tanθ = cosθsinθ

sinθ = xy

cosθ = y2x2y

The larger value of y for which (y - 1)2 = 4y - 7 is

A.

2

B.

4

C.

6

D.

7

E.

8

Correct answer is B

(y - 1)2 = 4y - 7

y2 - 2xy + 1 = 4y - 7

y2 - 6y + 8 = 0

(y - 4)(y - 2)

y = 4 or 2 = 4
