Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Given the information, let's start by analyzing the trigonometric relationships involving cot⁡x=−511\cot x = \frac{-5}{\sqrt{11}} where \frac{\pi}{2} < x < \pi .

We know that cot⁡x\cot x is the reciprocal of tan⁡x\tan x . Hence,

cot⁡x=cos⁡xsin⁡x=−511\cot x = \frac{\cos x}{\sin x} = \frac{-5}{\sqrt{11}}

From the above, it follows that:

cos⁡x=−5k and sin⁡x=11k\cos x = -5k \text{ and } \sin x = \sqrt{11}k

for some constant kk . Using the Pythagorean identity:

cos⁡2x+sin⁡2x=1\cos^2 x + \sin^2 x = 1

Let’s substitute the values of cos⁡x\cos x and sin⁡x\sin x into this identity:

(−5k)2+(11k)2=1(-5k)^2 + (\sqrt{11}k)^2 = 1

25k2+11k2=125k^2 + 11k^2 = 1

36k2=136k^2 = 1

k2=136k^2 = \frac{1}{36}

k=16 or k=−16k = \frac{1}{6} \text{ or } k = -\frac{1}{6}

Therefore, we have two sets of values:

cos⁡x=−56 and sin⁡x=116\cos x = -\frac{5}{6} \text{ and } \sin x = \frac{\sqrt{11}}{6}

Given that xx is in the interval (π2,π)\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right) , where sine is positive and cosine is negative, we take:

cos⁡x=−56, sin⁡x=116\cos x = -\frac{5}{6},\ \sin x = \frac{\sqrt{11}}{6}

Now consider the expression:

(sin⁡11x2)(sin⁡6x−cos⁡6x)+(cos⁡11x2)(sin⁡6x+cos⁡6x)\left(\sin \frac{11 x}{2}\right)(\sin 6 x - \cos 6 x) + \left(\cos \frac{11 x}{2}\right)(\sin 6 x + \cos 6 x)

To solve this, first find 11x2\frac{11x}{2} which lies in the interval (11π4,11π2)\left(\frac{11\pi}{4}, \frac{11\pi}{2}\right) . Next, we simplify each term using sum-to-product identities:

Notice:

sin⁡6x−cos⁡6x=2sin⁡(6x−π4)\sin 6x - \cos 6x = \sqrt{2} \sin \left( 6x - \frac{\pi}{4} \right)

sin⁡6x+cos⁡6x=2cos⁡(6x−π4)\sin 6x + \cos 6x = \sqrt{2} \cos \left( 6x - \frac{\pi}{4} \right)

Using these, the given expression becomes:

(sin⁡11x2)2sin⁡(6x−π4)+(cos⁡11x2)2cos⁡(6x−π4)\left(\sin \frac{11x}{2}\right) \sqrt{2} \sin \left(6x - \frac{\pi}{4} \right) + \left(\cos \frac{11x}{2}\right) \sqrt{2} \cos \left(6x - \frac{\pi}{4} \right)

This further simplifies using the angle sum identities:

=2(sin⁡11x2sin⁡(6x−π4)+cos⁡11x2cos⁡(6x−π4))= \sqrt{2} \left(\sin \frac{11x}{2} \sin \left(6x - \frac{\pi}{4}\right) + \cos \frac{11x}{2} \cos \left(6x - \frac{\pi}{4}\right)\right)

Utilizing the cosine of the difference identity:

sin⁡Asin⁡B+cos⁡Acos⁡B=cos⁡(A−B)\sin A \sin B + \cos A \cos B = \cos(A - B)

Substitute A=11x2A = \frac{11x}{2} and B=6x−π4B = 6x - \frac{\pi}{4} :

cos⁡(11x2−(6x−π4))=cos⁡(11x2−6x+π4)=cos⁡(−x2+π4)=cos⁡(π4−x2)\cos \left(\frac{11x}{2} - \left(6x - \frac{\pi}{4}\right)\right) = \cos \left(\frac{11x}{2} - 6x + \frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \cos \left( - \frac{x}{2} + \frac{\pi}{4} \right) = \cos \left(\frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{x}{2}\right)

Using the values of trigonometric functions:

cos⁡(π4−x2)=11+123\cos \left(\frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{x}{2}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{11}+1}{2\sqrt{3}}

Thus, the correct option is:

Option B

11+123\frac{\sqrt{11}+1}{2 \sqrt{3}}
