TRIGONOMETRY

"The mathematician is fascinated with the marvelous beauty of the forms

he constructs, and in their beauty he finds everlasting truth."

1. If xcosθ – ysinθ = a, xsinθ + ycos θ = b, prove that x2+y2=a2+b2.

Ans: xcosθ - y sinθ = a

xsinθ + y cosθ = b
Squaring and adding
x2+y2=a2+b2.

2. Prove that sec2θ+cosec2θ can never be less than 2.

Ans: S.T Sec2θ + Cosec2θ can never be less than 2.

If possible let it be less than 2.
1 + Tan2θ + 1 + Cot2θ < 2.
2 + Tan2θ + Cot2θ
(Tanθ + Cotθ)2 < 2.
Which is not possible.

3. If sin = , show that 3cos -4cos3 = 0.

Ans: Sin =½
= 30o
Substituting in place of =30o. We get 0.

4. If 7sin2 +3cos2 = 4, show that tan = .

5. If cos +sin = cos , prove that cos - sin = sin .

Ans: Cos + Sin = 2 Cos

( Cos + Sin )2 = 2Cos2
Cos2 + Sin2 +2Cos Sin = 2Cos2
Cos2 - 2Cos Sin + Sin2 = 2Sin2 2Sin2 = 2 - 2Cos2
(Cos - Sin )2 = 2Sin2 1- Cos2 = Sin2 & 1 - Sin2 = Cos2
or Cos - Sin = 2 Sin .

6. If tanA+sinA=m and tanA-sinA=n, show that m2-n2 = 4

Ans: TanA + SinA = m TanA – SinA = n.

2 2
m -n =4 mn .
m2-n2= (TanA + SinA)2-(TanA - SinA)2
= 4 TanA SinA
RHS 4 mn = 4 TanA SinA (TanA SinA )

Ans: 7 Cosec -2Cot =7

P.T 7Cot - 3 Cosec =3
7 Cosec -3Cot =7
7Cosec -7=3Cot
7(Cosec -1)=3Cot

12. 2(sin 6 +cos6 ) – 3(sin4 +cos4 )+1 = 0

Ans: (Sin2 )3 + (Cos2 )3-3 (Sin4 +(Cos4 )+1=0

Consider (Sin2 )3 +(Cos2 )3
(Sin2 +Cos2 )3-3 Sin2 Cos2 ( Sin2 +Cos2 )
= 1- 3Sin2 Cos2
Sin4 +Cos4 (Sin2 )2+(Cos2 )2
= (Sin2 +Cos2 )2-2 Sin2 Cos2
= 1- 2 Sin2 Cos2
= 2(Sin6 +Cos6 )-3(Sin4 +Cos4 ) +1
= 2 (1-3 Sin2 Cos2 )-3 (1-2 Sin2 +Cos2 )+1
