If \(1^{\circ}=0.0175\) radians, then the approximate value of \(\sec 58^{\circ}\) is

  1. A \(1.9899\)
  2. B \(1.8788\)
  3. C \(1.8511\)
  4. D \(1.9677\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1.8788\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f(x) = \sec x\) \(x_0 = 60^{\circ}, \Delta x = 2^{\circ}\) \(\Delta x = 2 \times 0.0175 = 0.035\) rad \(f(x_0) = \sec 60^{\circ} = 2\) \(f'(x_0) = \sec 60^{\circ} \tan 60^{\circ} = 2 \sqrt{3}\) \(\sec 58^{\circ} \approx f(x_0) - f'(x_0) \Delta x\)…
