The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's break it down: ### Step 1: Understand the Geometry We have a circle with a radius of 5 units. From point P, two tangents PA and PB are drawn to the circle. A line from point P intersects the points C and D such that PC = 5 units and PD = 15 units. ### Step 2: Calculate CD Since PD = 15 and PC = 5, we can find the length of CD: \[ CD = PD - PC = 15 - 5 = 10 \text{ units} \] ### Step 3: Identify the Triangle The points A and B are where the tangents touch the circle. The radius at points A and B is perpendicular to the tangents. Therefore, triangles PCA and PCB are right triangles. ### Step 4: Use the Pythagorean Theorem In triangle PCA, we can apply the Pythagorean theorem: \[ PA^2 + PC^2 = PO^2 \] Where PO is the distance from point P to the center O of the circle. Since PA is a tangent to the circle, we know: \[ PA = \sqrt{PO^2 - OA^2} \] Given OA (the radius) = 5 units, we need to find PO. ### Step 5: Find PO From the triangle, we know: \[ PO = PC + OA = 5 + 5 = 10 \text{ units} \] ### Step 6: Find angle θ Using the right triangle PCA: \[ \sin(\theta/2) = \frac{OA}{PO} = \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2} \] Thus, \[ \theta/2 = 30^\circ \implies \theta = 60^\circ \] ### Step 7: Calculate the Required Expression Now we need to calculate: \[ \sin(2\theta) + \cos(4\theta) + \sin(5\theta) + \tan(7\theta) + \cos(8\theta) \] Substituting \( \theta = 60^\circ \): - \( \sin(2\theta) = \sin(120^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \) - \( \cos(4\theta) = \cos(240^\circ) = -\frac{1}{2} \) - \( \sin(5\theta) = \sin(300^\circ) = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \) - \( \tan(7\theta) = \tan(420^\circ) = \tan(60^\circ) = \sqrt{3} \) - \( \cos(8\theta) = \cos(480^\circ) = \cos(120^\circ) = -\frac{1}{2} \) ### Step 8: Combine the Results Now, we combine these values: \[ \sin(2\theta) + \cos(4\theta) + \sin(5\theta) + \tan(7\theta) + \cos(8\theta) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + \sqrt{3} - \frac{1}{2} \] Simplifying: \[ = \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + \sqrt{3}\right) + \left(-\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2}\right) = \sqrt{3} - 1 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of the expression is: \[ \sqrt{3} - 1 \] ---
