If sinθ × cosθ = $$\frac{1}{2}{\text{,}}$$ Then the value of sinθ - cosθ is where 0° < θ < 90°.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
A
$$\eqalign{
& \sin \theta \times \cos \theta = \frac{1}{2} \cr
& {\text{Multiply by 2 both side}} \cr
& 2\sin \theta \times \cos \theta = 1 \cr
& \sin 2\theta = 1 \cr
& \sin 2\theta = \sin {90^ \circ } \cr
& 2\theta = {90^ \circ } \cr
& \theta = {45^ \circ } \cr
& {\text{So,}}\sin \theta - {\text{cos}}\theta \cr
& = \sin {45^ \circ } - \cos {45^ \circ } \cr
& = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }} - \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }} \cr
& = 0{\text{ }} \cr} $$
