Correct Answer
A. 970
Explanation
x² + 1/x² =98
Adding 2 both sides

Cubing both sides
(x+1/x)³ =(10)³
x³ +1/x³ +3(x+1/x)=1000
x³ +1/x³ =1000-30= 970

If 7 sin α = 24 cos α; 0 < α < π/2, then the value of 14 tan α – 75 cos α – 7 sec α is equal to
Correct Answer
D. 2
Explanation
7 sin α = 24 cos α
tan=24/7(Perpendicular/Base)
H = √(576+49)
=√625
= 25
cosα=B/H=7/25
secα=1/cosα =25/7
14 tan α – 75 cos α – 7 sec α
=14×24/7-75×7/25-7×25/7
= 48 – 21 – 25
= 48 – 46
