    Find the value of\[\text{cos}\theta -\text{cos3}\theta +\text{cos4}\theta \], when\[\theta =45{}^\circ \] .

    A) \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\]

    B) \[\sqrt{3}-1\]

    C)   \[\frac{1}{2}\]  

    D) \[\sqrt{2}-1\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Given exp. \[=\cos \theta -\cos 3\theta +\cos \,4\theta \] \[=2\sin 2\theta \sin \theta +\cos 4\theta \] \[[\because \,\theta ={{45}^{o}}]\] \[=2\sin {{90}^{o}}\sin {{45}^{o}}+\cos {{180}^{o}}\] \[=2\times 1\times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}-1\] \[=\sqrt{2}-1\]
