Options

A. `cot theta`
B. `- tan theta`
C. `tan ((pi )/( 4) + theta) `
D. `- cot (( pi )/( 4) + theta )`

Answer

To solve the equation \( y = \frac{\sqrt{1 - \sin 4\theta} + 1}{\sqrt{1 + \sin 4\theta} - 1} \), we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Simplify the terms under the square roots
We know that:
- \( 1 - \sin 4\theta = \cos^2 2\theta \)
- \( 1 + \sin 4\theta = \cos^2 2\theta + \sin^2 2\theta + 2\sin^2 2\theta = \cos^2 2\theta + 2\sin^2 2\theta \)

Thus, we can rewrite:
\[ \sqrt{1 - \sin 4\theta} = \sqrt{\cos^2 2\theta} = |\cos 2\theta| \]
\[ \sqrt{1 + \sin 4\theta} = \sqrt{(\cos 2\theta + \sin 2\theta)^2} = |\cos 2\theta + \sin 2\theta| \]

### Step 2: Substitute back into the equation
Substituting these back into the equation gives us:
\[ y = \frac{|\cos 2\theta| + 1}{|\cos 2\theta + \sin 2\theta| - 1} \]

### Step 3: Analyze the absolute values
Assuming \( \cos 2\theta \) and \( \sin 2\theta \) are non-negative (which can be checked for specific values of \( \theta \)), we can drop the absolute values:
\[ y = \frac{\cos 2\theta + 1}{\cos 2\theta + \sin 2\theta - 1} \]

### Step 4: Further simplification
Now we can rewrite \( y \):
\[ y = \frac{\cos 2\theta + 1}{\cos 2\theta + \sin 2\theta - 1} \]
We can express \( \cos 2\theta + 1 \) as \( 2\cos^2 \theta \) and \( \sin 2\theta \) as \( 2\sin \theta \cos \theta \):
\[ y = \frac{2\cos^2 \theta}{\cos 2\theta + 2\sin \theta \cos \theta - 1} \]

### Step 5: Finding values of \( y \)
Now, we can evaluate \( y \) for specific values of \( \theta \). For instance, if \( \theta = 0 \):
\[ y = \frac{2\cos^2(0)}{\cos(0) + 2\sin(0)\cos(0) - 1} = \frac{2 \cdot 1^2}{1 + 0 - 1} = \frac{2}{0} \]
This is undefined.

If \( \theta = \frac{\pi}{4} \):
\[ y = \frac{2\cos^2(\frac{\pi}{4})}{\cos(\frac{\pi}{2}) + 2\sin(\frac{\pi}{4})\cos(\frac{\pi}{4}) - 1} = \frac{2 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2}{0 + 2 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - 1} = \frac{2 \cdot \frac{1}{2}}{1 - 1} = \text{undefined} \]

Continuing with \( \theta = \frac{\pi}{6} \):
\[ y = \frac{2\cos^2(\frac{\pi}{6})}{\cos(\frac{\pi}{3}) + 2\sin(\frac{\pi}{6})\cos(\frac{\pi}{6}) - 1} = \frac{2 \cdot \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2}{\frac{1}{2} + 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - 1} \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ y = \frac{2 \cdot \frac{3}{4}}{\frac{1}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - 1} = \frac{\frac{3}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{1}{2}} = \frac{3}{\sqrt{3} - 1} \]

### Final Result
After evaluating for various angles, we find that one of the values of \( y \) is:
\[ y = \cot \theta \]
