Principle Of Mathematical Induction Question 3

Question: The product of $ \cos \theta \cos 2\theta \cos 3\theta …\cos ({2^{n-1}}\theta ) $ is

Options:

A) $ \frac{\sin (2^{n}\theta )}{2^{n}\sin \theta } $

B) $ \frac{cos(2^{n}\theta )}{2^{n}\cos \theta } $

C) $ \frac{cosn\theta }{2^{n}\cos \theta } $

D) $ \frac{sin(2^{n}\theta )}{\sin \theta } $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • [a] By setting n=1, given expression becomes $ \cos \theta $ . By setting n=1, option (1) becomes $ \frac{\sin 2\theta }{2\sin \theta }=\frac{2\sin \theta \cos \theta }{2\sin \theta }=\cos \theta $ .
