Question
Write True' or False' and justify your answer the following :
The value of \[\sin \theta\] is \[x + \frac{1}{x}\] where 'x' is a positive real number .
Solution
\[\sin\theta = x + \frac{1}{x}\]
\[ \Rightarrow - 1 \leq x + \frac{1}{x} \leq 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow x + \frac{1}{x} \leq 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow x^2 + 1 \leq x\]
\[ \Rightarrow x^2 + 1 - x \leq 0\]
\[\text{ Take } x = 1, \]
\[ \Rightarrow 1 + 1 - 1 \leq 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow 1 \leq 0\]
\[\text{ Which is false, so x is not always a positive real number . \]
\[The given statement is false } .\]
