If $ \sin \theta+\cos \theta=\sqrt{2} \cos \left(90^{\circ}-\theta\right) $, find $ \cot \theta $.
Given:
\( \sin \theta+\cos \theta=\sqrt{2} \cos \left(90^{\circ}-\theta\right) \)
To do:
We have to find \( \cot \theta \).
Solution:
$\sin \theta+\cos \theta=\sqrt{2} \cos (90^{\circ}-\theta)$
$\Rightarrow \sin \theta+\cos \theta=\sqrt{2} \sin \theta$ [Since $\cos (90^{\circ}-\theta)=\sin \theta$]
$\Rightarrow \cos \theta=\sqrt{2} \sin \theta-\sin \theta$
$\Rightarrow \cos \theta=(\sqrt{2}-1) \sin \theta$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}=\sqrt{2}-1$
$\Rightarrow \cot \theta=\sqrt{2}-1$
The value of $\cot \theta$ is $\sqrt{2}-1$.
