The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Which of the following is incorrect?", we need to evaluate each of the given options based on trigonometric identities. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate Option 1: cos 90° = 0** - We know from trigonometric values that cos 90° is indeed 0. - **Conclusion**: This statement is correct. 2. **Evaluate Option 2: sin²θ - cos²θ = 1** - We recall the Pythagorean identity: sin²θ + cos²θ = 1. - The statement given is sin²θ - cos²θ = 1, which is not correct. - **Conclusion**: This statement is incorrect. 3. **Evaluate Option 3: 1 + sin²θ = sec²θ** - The correct identity is: 1 + tan²θ = sec²θ, not involving sin²θ. - Therefore, this statement is also incorrect. - **Conclusion**: This statement is incorrect. 4. **Evaluate Option 4: 1 + cot²θ = cosec²θ** - This is a well-known trigonometric identity. - **Conclusion**: This statement is correct. ### Final Answer: The incorrect options are Option 2 and Option 3. However, since the question asks for which of the following is incorrect, we can conclude that Option 2 is the primary incorrect statement as it directly contradicts the established trigonometric identity.
