The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the values of \( l \), \( m \), and \( n \) given \( \theta = 5 \) radians. ### Step 1: Calculate \( l = \sin(\theta) \) Given \( \theta = 5 \) radians, we find: \[ l = \sin(5) \] To simplify this, we can express \( 5 \) radians in terms of a known angle. We can write: \[ 5 = 3\pi/2 + (5 - 3\pi/2) \] This means: \[ l = \sin(3\pi/2 + (5 - 3\pi/2)) \] Using the sine addition formula, we know: \[ \sin(a + b) = \sin a \cos b + \cos a \sin b \] where \( a = 3\pi/2 \) and \( b = 5 - 3\pi/2 \). Now, since \( \sin(3\pi/2) = -1 \) and \( \cos(3\pi/2) = 0 \), we have: \[ l = \sin(3\pi/2)\cos(5 - 3\pi/2) + \cos(3\pi/2)\sin(5 - 3\pi/2) \] This simplifies to: \[ l = -1 \cdot \cos(5 - 3\pi/2) + 0 \cdot \sin(5 - 3\pi/2) = -\cos(5 - 3\pi/2) \] ### Step 2: Calculate \( m = \cos(\theta) \) Now we calculate: \[ m = \cos(5) \] Using the same approach: \[ m = \cos(3\pi/2 + (5 - 3\pi/2)) \] Again, applying the cosine addition formula: \[ \cos(a + b) = \cos a \cos b - \sin a \sin b \] where \( a = 3\pi/2 \) and \( b = 5 - 3\pi/2 \). Thus: \[ m = \cos(3\pi/2)\cos(5 - 3\pi/2) - \sin(3\pi/2)\sin(5 - 3\pi/2) \] This simplifies to: \[ m = 0 \cdot \cos(5 - 3\pi/2) - (-1) \cdot \sin(5 - 3\pi/2) = \sin(5 - 3\pi/2) \] ### Step 3: Calculate \( n = \tan(\theta) \) Now we find: \[ n = \tan(5) = \frac{\sin(5)}{\cos(5)} = \frac{l}{m} \] ### Step 4: Compare \( l \) and \( m \) From the previous calculations: - \( l = -\cos(5 - 3\pi/2) \) - \( m = \sin(5 - 3\pi/2) \) Since \( l \) is negative and \( m \) is positive (as sine is positive in the fourth quadrant), we conclude: \[ l < m \] ### Conclusion Thus, the correct option is that \( l < m \). ---
