The value of $\theta$, satisfying both the equation $\cos \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ and $\tan \theta=-1$ in $[0,2 \pi]$, is
  1. $\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$
  2. $\left(\frac{5 \pi}{4}\right)$
  3. $\left(\frac{7 \pi}{4}\right)$
  4. $\left(\frac{3 \pi}{4}\right)$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \cos \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \text { and } \tan \theta=-1 \theta \in[0,2 \pi] \\ & \Rightarrow \theta=\frac{\pi}{4} \text { or } \frac{7 \pi}{4} \text { and } \theta=\frac{3 \pi}{4} \text { or } \frac{7 \pi}{4} \\ & \Rightarrow \theta=\frac{7 \pi}{4}\end{aligned}$
