Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The correct option is H

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The equation is
(√(1 - cos^2 (x)) )/(sin(x)) + (√(1 - sin^2 (x)) )/(cos(x))

The domain for x is
0 < x < (\pi)/(2)

Gnerally the equation above is not continuous, when


sin (x) = 0

=>
x = 0

And when
cos(x) = 0

=>
x = (\pi)/(2)

Generally from trigonometry identity


sin^2x + cos^2 x = 1

So


sin^2 x = 1 - cos^2 (x)

So


cos^2 x = 1 - sin^2 (x)

=>
(√(sin^2 (x)) )/(sin(x)) + (√( cos^2 (x )) )/(cos(x))

=>
1 + 1

=>
2

For x such that 0 < x < ~, the expression V1 - cos x + V1 - sin x is equivalent-example-1
