Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 0.8573

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(y=\cos (x), x=30^{\circ}\) and \(x+\Delta x=31^{\circ}\) Let us find \((y)_{x=\frac{\pi}{6}}=\cos \left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) Then, \(\Delta x=1^{\circ}=0.0174\) radian. Consider the given function, \[ y=f(x)=\cos (x) \] Differentiating w.r.t. \(x\),…
