Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\tan ^{-1}(2 \sqrt{2})\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that, \(y=\sin x\) ...(i) and \(y=\cos x\) ...(ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), \(\sin x=\cos x \Rightarrow \tan x=1 \Rightarrow x=\frac{\pi}{4}\) Slope \(\quad m_1=\frac{d y}{d x}=\cos x\) \(m_2=\frac{d y}{d x}=-\sin x\)…
