Important Questions for CBSE Class 10 Maths Chapter 8 Introduction to Trigonometry

1. If \[x\cos \theta y\sin \theta =a,\,x\sin \theta +y\cos \theta =b\], Prove that \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}\].

Ans: 

Given:

\[x\cos \theta y\sin \theta =a\]        …… (1)

\[x\sin \theta +y\cos \theta =b\]        …… (2)

Squaring and adding the equation (1) and (2) on both sides.

\[{{x}^{2}}{{\cos }^{2}}\theta +{{y}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta -2xy\cos \theta \sin \theta +{{x}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{y}^{2}}{{\cos }^{2}}\theta +2xy\cos \theta \sin \theta ={{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}\left( {{\cos }^{2}}\theta +{{\sin }^{2}}\theta  \right)+{{y}^{2}}\left( {{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{\cos }^{2}}\theta  \right)={{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}\]

\[\therefore {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}\]

Hence proved.

2. Prove that \[{{\sec }^{2}}\theta +\cos e{{c}^{2}}\theta \] Can Never Be Less Than \[2\].

Ans: 

Given: \[{{\sec }^{2}}\theta +\cos e{{c}^{2}}\theta \] 

We know that, ${{\sec }^{2}}\theta =1+{{\tan }^{2}}\theta $ and ${{\operatorname{cosec}}^{2}}\theta =1+{{\cot }^{2}}\theta $.

\[\Rightarrow {{\sec }^{2}}\theta +\cos e{{c}^{2}}\theta =1+{{\tan }^{2}}\theta +1+{{\cot }^{2}}\theta \]

\[\Rightarrow {{\sec }^{2}}\theta +\cos e{{c}^{2}}\theta =2+{{\tan }^{2}}\theta +{{\cot }^{2}}\theta \]

Therefore, \[{{\sec }^{2}}\theta +\cos e{{c}^{2}}\theta \] can never be less than \[2\].

Hence proved.

3. If \[\sin \varphi =\dfrac{1}{2}\], show that \[3\cos \varphi -4{{\cos }^{3}}\varphi =0\].

Ans: 

Given: \[\sin \varphi =\dfrac{1}{2}\]

We know that $\sin 30{}^\circ =\dfrac{1}{2}$.

While comparing the angles of $\sin $, we get 

\[\Rightarrow \varphi ={{30}^{\circ }}\]

Substitute \[\varphi ={{30}^{\circ }}\] to get 

\[3\cos \varphi -4{{\cos }^{3}}\varphi =3\cos \left( 30{}^\circ  \right)-4{{\cos }^{3}}\left( 30{}^\circ  \right)\]

\[\Rightarrow 3\left( \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right)-4\left( \dfrac{3\sqrt{3}}{8} \right)\Rightarrow 0\]

Therefore, \[3\cos \varphi -4{{\cos }^{3}}\varphi =0\].

Hence proved.

4. If \[7{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi +3{{\cos }^{2}}\varphi =4\], then Show that \[\tan \varphi =\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\].

Ans: 

Given: \[7{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi +3{{\cos }^{2}}\varphi =4\]

We know that, ${{\sin }^{2}}\varphi +{{\cos }^{2}}\varphi =1$ and \[\tan \theta =\dfrac{\sin \theta }{\cos \theta }\]

Then, \[7{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi +3{{\cos }^{2}}\varphi =4({{\sin }^{2}}\varphi +{{\cos }^{2}}\varphi )\]

\[\Rightarrow 7{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi -4{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi =4{{\cos }^{2}}\varphi -3{{\cos }^{2}}\varphi \]

\[\Rightarrow 3{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi ={{\cos }^{2}}\varphi \]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi }{{{\cos }^{2}}\varphi }=\dfrac{1}{3}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\tan }^{2}}\varphi =\dfrac{1}{3}\]

\[\Rightarrow \tan \varphi =\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\]

\[\therefore \tan \varphi =\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\]

Hence proved.

5. If \[\cos \varphi +\sin \varphi =\sqrt{2}\cos \varphi \], Prove that \[\cos \varphi -\sin \varphi =\sqrt{2}\sin \varphi \].

Ans: 

Given: \[\cos \varphi +\sin \varphi =\sqrt{2}\cos \varphi \]

Squaring on both sides, we get

\[\Rightarrow {{\left( \cos \varphi +\sin \varphi  \right)}^{2}}=2{{\cos }^{2}}\varphi \]

\[\Rightarrow {{\cos }^{2}}\varphi +{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi +2\cos \varphi \sin \varphi =2{{\cos }^{2}}\varphi \]

$\Rightarrow {{\sin }^{2}}\varphi =2{{\cos }^{2}}\varphi -{{\cos }^{2}}\varphi -2\cos \varphi \sin \varphi $

$\Rightarrow {{\sin }^{2}}\varphi ={{\cos }^{2}}\varphi -2\cos \varphi \sin \varphi $

Add ${{\sin }^{2}}\varphi $ on both sides

\[\Rightarrow 2{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi ={{\cos }^{2}}\varphi -2\cos \varphi \sin \varphi +{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi \]

\[\Rightarrow 2{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi ={{\left( \cos \varphi -\sin \varphi  \right)}^{2}}\] 

\[\therefore \cos \varphi -\sin \varphi =\sqrt{2}\sin \varphi \]

Hence proved.

6. If \[\tan A+\sin A=m\] and \[\tan A-\sin A=n\], then Show that \[{{m}^{2}}-{{n}^{2}}=4\sqrt{mn}\].

Ans: 

Given: 

\[\tan A+\sin A=m\]           …… (1)

\[\tan A-\sin A=n\]            …… (2)

Now to prove \[{{m}^{2}}-{{n}^{2}}=4\sqrt{mn}\].

Take left-hand side

\[{{m}^{2}}-{{n}^{2}}={{\left( \tan A+\sin A \right)}^{2}}-{{\left( \tan A-\sin A \right)}^{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\tan }^{2}}A+{{\sin }^{2}}A+2\tan A\sin A-{{\tan }^{2}}A-{{\sin }^{2}}A+2\tan A\sin A\]

\[\Rightarrow 4\tan A\sin A\]         

$\therefore {{m}^{2}}-{{n}^{2}}=4\tan A\sin A$      …… (3)

Now take right-hand side

 \[4\sqrt{mn}=4\sqrt{\left( \tan A+\sin A \right)\left( \tan A-\sin A \right)}\]

\[\Rightarrow 4\sqrt{{{\tan }^{2}}A-{{\sin }^{2}}A}\Rightarrow 4\sqrt{\dfrac{{{\sin }^{2}}A}{{{\cos }^{2}}A}-{{\sin }^{2}}A}\]

\[\Rightarrow 4\sqrt{{{\sin }^{2}}A\left( \dfrac{1}{{{\cos }^{2}}A}-1 \right)}\Rightarrow 4\sin A\sqrt{{{\sec }^{2}}A-1}\]

\[\Rightarrow 4\sin A\sqrt{{{\tan }^{2}}A}\Rightarrow 4\sin A\tan A\]

Hence, $4\sqrt{mn}=4\tan A\sin A$

\[\therefore {{m}^{2}}-{{n}^{2}}=4\sqrt{mn}\]

Hence proved. 

7. If \[\sec A=x+\dfrac{1}{4x}\], then prove that \[\sec A+\tan A=2x\] or \[\dfrac{1}{2x}\].

Ans: 

Given: \[\sec A=x+\dfrac{1}{4x}\]

Squaring on both sides.

\[\Rightarrow {{\sec }^{2}}A={{\left( x+\dfrac{1}{4x} \right)}^{2}}\]

We know that, \[{{\sec }^{2}}A=1+{{\tan }^{2}}A\]

\[\Rightarrow 1+{{\tan }^{2}}A={{\left( x+\dfrac{1}{4x} \right)}^{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\tan }^{2}}A={{\left( x+\dfrac{1}{4x} \right)}^{2}}-1\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\tan }^{2}}A={{x}^{2}}+\dfrac{1}{16{{x}^{2}}}+\dfrac{1}{2}-1\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}+\dfrac{1}{16{{x}^{2}}}-\dfrac{1}{2}\Rightarrow {{\left( x-\dfrac{1}{4x} \right)}^{2}}\]

Taking square root on both sides,

\[\Rightarrow \tan A=\pm \left( x-\dfrac{1}{4x} \right)\].

Now, find $\sec A+\tan A$

If $\tan A=x-\dfrac{1}{4x}$ means

$\sec A+\tan A=x+\dfrac{1}{4x}+x-\dfrac{1}{4x}\Rightarrow 2x$

$\therefore \sec A+\tan A=2x$

And if $\tan A=-x+\dfrac{1}{4x}$ means

$\sec A+\tan A=x+\dfrac{1}{4x}-x+\dfrac{1}{4x}\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{4x}\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2x}$

$\therefore \sec A+\tan A=\dfrac{1}{2x}$

Hence proved.

8. If \[A,B\]are Acute Angles and \[\sin A=\cos B\], then Find the Value of \[A+B\].

Ans: 

Given: $\sin A=\cos B$

We know that $\sin A=\cos \left( 90{}^\circ -A \right)$

While comparing the values to get

$\cos B=\cos \left( 90{}^\circ -A \right)$

$\Rightarrow B=90{}^\circ -A\Rightarrow A+B=90{}^\circ $

\[\therefore A+B={{90}^{\circ }}\].

9. Evaluate the Following Questions:

a. Solve for \[\phi \], if \[\tan 5\phi =1\].

Ans: 

Given: \[\tan 5\phi =1\]

We know that, ${{\tan }^{-1}}\left( 1 \right)=45{}^\circ $

$5\phi ={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( 1 \right)\Rightarrow 45{}^\circ $

$5\phi =45{}^\circ $

$\phi =\dfrac{45{}^\circ }{5}\Rightarrow 9{}^\circ $

\[\because \phi ={{9}^{\circ }}\]

b. Solve for \[\varphi \], if \[\dfrac{\sin \varphi }{1+\cos \varphi }+\dfrac{1+\cos \varphi }{\sin \varphi }=4\].

Ans: 

Given: \[\dfrac{\sin \varphi }{1+\cos \varphi }+\dfrac{1+\cos \varphi }{\sin \varphi }=4\]

\[\dfrac{{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi +1+{{\cos }^{2}}\varphi +2\cos \varphi }{\sin \varphi \left( 1+\cos \varphi  \right)}=4\]

\[\dfrac{{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi +{{(1+\cos \varphi )}^{2}}}{\sin \varphi (1+\cos \varphi )}=4\]

\[\dfrac{2+2\cos \varphi }{\sin \varphi \left( 1+\cos \varphi  \right)}=4\]

\[\dfrac{2(1+\cos \varphi )}{\sin \varphi (1+\cos \varphi )}=4\]

\[\dfrac{2}{\sin \varphi }=4\]

\[\sin \varphi =\dfrac{1}{2}\]

We know that, $\sin 30{}^\circ =\dfrac{1}{2}$

\[\sin \varphi =\sin {{30}^{\circ }}\Rightarrow \varphi ={{30}^{\circ }}\]

\[\therefore \varphi ={{30}^{\circ }}\].

10. If \[\dfrac{\cos \alpha }{\cos \beta }=m\] and \[\dfrac{\cos \alpha }{\sin \beta }=n\], show that \[({{m}^{2}}+{{n}^{2}}){{\cos }^{2}}\beta ={{n}^{2}}\].

Ans: 

Given: \[\dfrac{\cos \alpha }{\cos \beta }=m\]         …… (1)

\[\dfrac{\cos \alpha }{\sin \beta }=n\]             …… (2)

Squaring equation (1) and (2). We get,

\[{{m}^{2}}=\dfrac{{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha }{{{\cos }^{2}}\beta }\]

\[{{n}^{2}}=\dfrac{{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha }{{{\sin }^{2}}\beta }\]

Now to prove \[({{m}^{2}}+{{n}^{2}}){{\cos }^{2}}\beta ={{n}^{2}}\],

Take left-hand side, 

\[({{m}^{2}}+{{n}^{2}}){{\cos }^{2}}\beta =\left( \dfrac{{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha }{{{\cos }^{2}}\beta }+\dfrac{{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha }{{{\sin }^{2}}\beta } \right){{\cos }^{2}}\beta \]

\[=\left( \dfrac{{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha {{\sin }^{2}}\beta +{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha {{\cos }^{2}}\beta }{{{\cos }^{2}}\beta {{\sin }^{2}}\beta } \right){{\cos }^{2}}\beta \]

\[={{\cos }^{2}}\alpha \left( \dfrac{1}{{{\cos }^{2}}\beta {{\sin }^{2}}\beta } \right){{\cos }^{2}}\beta \]

\[=\dfrac{{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha }{{{\sin }^{2}}\beta }\]

\[={{n}^{2}}\]

\[\therefore ({{m}^{2}}+{{n}^{2}}){{\cos }^{2}}\beta ={{n}^{2}}\]

Hence proved.

11. If \[7\cos ec\varphi -3\cot \varphi =7\], then prove that \[7\cot \varphi -3\cos ec\varphi =3\].

Ans: 

Given: \[7\cos ec\varphi -3\cot \varphi =7\]

Then prove that, \[7\cot \varphi -3\cos ec\varphi =3\]

\[7\cos ec\varphi -3\cot \varphi =7\]

Squaring on both sides, we get

\[49{{\operatorname{cosec}}^{2}}\varphi +9{{\cot }^{2}}\varphi -42\operatorname{cosec}\varphi \cot \varphi =49\]

We know that, ${{\operatorname{cosec}}^{2}}\varphi =1+{{\cot }^{2}}\varphi $ and ${{\cot }^{2}}\varphi ={{\operatorname{cosec}}^{2}}\varphi -1$.

\[49\left( {{\cot }^{2}}\varphi +1 \right)+9\left( {{\operatorname{cosec}}^{2}}\varphi -1 \right)-42\operatorname{cosec}\varphi \cot \varphi =49\]

\[49{{\cot }^{2}}\varphi +49+9{{\operatorname{cosec}}^{2}}\varphi -9-2\left( 3\operatorname{cosec}\varphi \cdot 7\cot \varphi  \right)=49\]

\[{{\left( 7\cot \varphi -3\operatorname{cosec}\varphi  \right)}^{2}}=49-49+9\]

\[{{\left( 7\cot \varphi -3\operatorname{cosec}\varphi  \right)}^{2}}=9\]

Take square root on both sides, we get

\[\therefore 7\cot \varphi -3\operatorname{cosec}\varphi =3\]

Hence proved.

12. Prove that \[2\left( {{\sin }^{6}}\varphi +{{\cos }^{6}}\varphi  \right)\text{ }3\left( {{\sin }^{4}}\varphi +{{\cos }^{4}}\varphi  \right)+1=0\].

Ans: 

Given: \[2\left( {{\sin }^{6}}\varphi +{{\cos }^{6}}\varphi  \right)\text{ }3\left( {{\sin }^{4}}\varphi +{{\cos }^{4}}\varphi  \right)+1=0\]

Let us take left-hand side,

\[\begin{align}&2\left( {{\sin }^{6}}\varphi +{{\cos }^{6}}\varphi  \right)\text{ }3\left( {{\sin }^{4}}\varphi +{{\cos }^{4}}\varphi  \right)+1 \\ & =2\left( {{\left( {{\sin }^{2}}\varphi  \right)}^{3}}+{{\left( {{\cos }^{2}}\varphi  \right)}^{3}} \right)-3\left( {{\left( {{\sin }^{2}}\varphi  \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( {{\cos}^{2}}\varphi  \right)}^{2}} \right)+1 \\ \end{align}\]

\[=2\left[ {{\left( {{\sin }^{2}}\varphi +{{\cos }^{2}}\varphi  \right)}^{3}}-3{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi {{\cos }^{2}}\varphi \left( {{\sin }^{2}}\varphi +{{\cos }^{2}}\varphi  \right) \right]-3\left[ {{\left( {{\sin }^{2}}\varphi +{{\cos }^{2}}\varphi  \right)}^{2}}-2{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi {{\cos }^{2}}\varphi  \right]+1\]

\[=2\left[ 1-3{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi {{\cos }^{2}}\varphi  \right]-3\left[ 1-2{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi {{\cos }^{2}}\varphi  \right]+1\]

\[=2-6{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi {{\cos }^{2}}\varphi -3+6{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi {{\cos }^{2}}\varphi +1\]

\[=-1+1\]

\[=0\]

Therefore, \[2\left( {{\sin }^{6}}\varphi +{{\cos }^{6}}\varphi  \right)\text{ }3\left( {{\sin }^{4}}\varphi +{{\cos }^{4}}\varphi  \right)+1=0\].

Hence proved.

13. If \[\tan \theta =\dfrac{5}{6}\] and \[\theta =\phi ={{90}^{\circ }}\]. What is the value of \[\cot \phi \].

Ans: 

Given: \[\tan \theta =\dfrac{5}{6}\] and \[\theta =\phi ={{90}^{\circ }}\]

We know that, $\tan \theta =\dfrac{1}{\cot \theta }$.

$\cot \phi =\dfrac{1}{\tan \phi }$

$=\dfrac{1}{{5}/{6}\;}$

$=\dfrac{6}{5}$ 

$\therefore \cot \phi =\dfrac{6}{5}$.

14. What is the Value of \[\tan \varphi \] in terms of \[\sin \varphi \] ?

Ans: 

Given: \[\tan \varphi \]

We know that, \[\tan \varphi =\dfrac{\sin \varphi }{\cos \varphi }\] and \[{{\cos }^{2}}\varphi +{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi =1\]

\[\tan \varphi =\dfrac{\sin \varphi }{\cos \varphi }\]

\[\therefore \tan \varphi =\dfrac{\sin \varphi }{\sqrt{1-{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi }}\]

15. If \[\sec \varphi +\tan \varphi =4\], Find the Value of \[\sin \varphi \], \[\cos \varphi \].

Ans: 

Given: \[\sec \varphi +\tan \varphi =4\]

\[\dfrac{1}{\cos \varphi }+\dfrac{\sin \varphi }{\cos \varphi }=4\]

\[\dfrac{1+\sin \varphi }{\cos \varphi }=4\]

$1+\sin \varphi =4\cos \varphi $

Squaring on both sides.

${{\left( 1+\sin \varphi  \right)}^{2}}={{\left( 4\cos \varphi  \right)}^{2}}$

$1+2\sin \varphi +{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi =16{{\cos }^{2}}\varphi $

$1+2\sin \varphi +{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi =16\left( 1-{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi  \right)$

$1+2\sin \varphi +{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi =16-16{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi $

$17{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi +2\sin \varphi -15=0$

$17{{\sin }^{2}}\varphi +17\sin \varphi -15\sin \varphi -15=0$

$17\sin \varphi \left( \sin \varphi +1 \right)-15\left( \sin \varphi +1 \right)=0$

$\left( \sin \varphi +1 \right)\left( 17\sin \varphi -15 \right)=0$

If $\sin \varphi +1=0$

Hence, $\sin \varphi =-1$ is not possible.

Then, $17\sin \varphi -15=0$

$\therefore \sin \varphi =\dfrac{15}{17}$

Now find $\cos \varphi $

\[\dfrac{1+\sin \varphi }{\cos \varphi }=4\]

Substitute the value of $\sin \varphi $

\[1+\dfrac{15}{17}=4\cos \varphi \]

\[\dfrac{32}{17}=4\cos \varphi \]

\[\Rightarrow \cos \varphi =\dfrac{32}{17\left( 4 \right)}\Rightarrow \dfrac{8}{17}\]

\[\therefore \cos \varphi =\dfrac{8}{17}\]

1. In \[\Delta ABC\] , Right Angled at \[B,AB=24cm,BC=7cm\].

Determine the Following Equations:    

(i) \[\sin A,\cos A\]

Ans: 

Let us draw a right-angled triangle \[ABC\], right angled at \[B\].

Using Pythagoras theorem, find $AC$.

\[A{{C}^{2}}=A{{B}^{2}}+B{{C}^{2}}\]

\[={{(24)}^{2}}+{{(7)}^{2}}\]

\[=576+49\]

\[=625\]

\[\therefore AC=25cm\]

Then,

\[\sin A=\dfrac{BC}{AC}=\dfrac{7}{25}\]

\[\therefore \sin A=\dfrac{7}{25}\]

 \[\cos A=\dfrac{AB}{AC}=\dfrac{24}{25}\]

\[\therefore \cos A=\dfrac{24}{25}\]

(ii) \[\sin C,\cos C\]

Ans: 

Let us draw a right-angled triangle \[ABC\], right angled at \[B\].

Using Pythagoras theorem, find $AC$.

\[A{{C}^{2}}=A{{B}^{2}}+B{{C}^{2}}\]

\[={{(24)}^{2}}+{{(7)}^{2}}\]

\[=576+49\]

\[=625\]

\[\therefore AC=25cm\]

Then,

\[\sin C=\dfrac{AB}{AC}=\dfrac{24}{25}\]       

\[\therefore \sin C=\dfrac{24}{25}\]

\[\cos C=\dfrac{BC}{AC}=\dfrac{7}{25}\]

\[\therefore \cos C=\dfrac{7}{25}\]

2. In Adjoining Figure, Find the Value of \[\tan P-\cot R\].     

Ans: 

Using Pythagoras theorem,

$P{{R}^{2}}=P{{Q}^{2}}+Q{{R}^{2}}$

\[{{(13)}^{2}}={{(12)}^{2}}+Q{{R}^{2}}\]

\[Q{{R}^{2}}=169-144\Rightarrow 25\]

\[\therefore QR=5cm\]

Then find \[\tan P-\cot R\] ,

First find the value of $\tan P$

$\tan P=\dfrac{side\,opp.\,to\,\angle P}{side\,adj.\,to\,\angle P}=\dfrac{QR}{PQ}=\dfrac{5}{12}$

$\therefore \tan P=\dfrac{5}{12}$

Now find the value of $\cot R$

We know that, $\tan R=\dfrac{1}{\cot R}$

For that we need to first find the value of $\tan R$

$\tan R=\dfrac{side\,opp.\,to\,\angle R}{side\,adj.\,to\,\angle R}=\dfrac{PQ}{QR}=\dfrac{12}{5}$

$\therefore \cot R=\dfrac{5}{12}$

Then, 

\[\tan P-\cot R=\dfrac{QR}{PQ}-\dfrac{QR}{PQ}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{5}{12}-\dfrac{5}{12}\Rightarrow 0\]

\[\therefore \tan P-\cot R=0\].

3. If \[\sin A=\dfrac{3}{4}\], Calculate the Value of \[\cos A\] and \[\tan A\].                                                         

Ans: 

Given that the triangle \[ABC\] in which \[\angle B={{90}^{\circ }}\]

Let us take \[BC=3k\] and \[AC=4k\]

Then using Pythagoras theorem,

\[AB=\sqrt{{{(AC)}^{2}}-{{(BC)}^{2}}}\]

 \[\Rightarrow \sqrt{{{(4k)}^{2}}-{{(3k)}^{2}}}\]

 \[\Rightarrow \sqrt{16k-9k}\]

\[\Rightarrow k\sqrt{7}\]

$\therefore AB=k\sqrt{7}$

Calculate the value of \[\cos A\] 

$\cos A=\dfrac{AB}{AC}=\dfrac{k\sqrt{7}}{4k}=\dfrac{\sqrt{7}}{4}$

$\therefore \cos A=\dfrac{\sqrt{7}}{4}$

And calculate the value of \[\tan A\]

$\tan A=\dfrac{BC}{AB}=\dfrac{3k}{k\sqrt{7}}=\dfrac{3}{\sqrt{7}}$

$\therefore \tan A=\dfrac{3}{\sqrt{7}}$

4. Given \[15\cot A=8\], Find the Values of \[\sin A\] and \[\sec A\].                                                           

Ans: 

Given: \[15\cot A=8\]

Let us assume a triangle \[ABC\] in which \[\angle B={{90}^{\circ }}\]. 

Then,

\[15\cot A=8\]

\[\Rightarrow \cot A=\dfrac{8}{15}\]

Since $\cot A=\dfrac{adj}{hyp}=\dfrac{AB}{BC}$.

Let us draw the triangle.

Now, \[AB=8k\] and \[BC=15k\].

Using Pythagoras theorem, find the value of $AC$.

\[AC=\sqrt{{{(AB)}^{2}}+{{(BC)}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sqrt{{{(8k)}^{2}}+{{(15k)}^{2}}}\]

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{64{{k}^{2}}+225{{k}^{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{289{{k}^{2}}}$

\[\Rightarrow 17k\]

$\therefore AC=17k$

Now, find the values of \[\sin A\] and \[\sec A\].

\[\sin A=\dfrac{BC}{AC}=\dfrac{15k}{17k}=\dfrac{15}{17}\]

$\therefore \sin A=\dfrac{15}{17}$

\[\sec A=\dfrac{AC}{AB}=\dfrac{17k}{8k}=\dfrac{17}{8}\]

 \[\therefore \sec A=\dfrac{17}{8}\]

5. If \[\angle A\] and \[\angle \,B\] are Acute Angles Such That \[\cos A=\cos B\], then show that \[\angle A=\angle \,B\]

Ans: 

Given: \[\cos A=\cos B\]

In right triangle \[ABC\],

\[\cos A=\dfrac{side\,adj.\,A}{hyp.}=\dfrac{AC}{AB}\]  …… (1)

And, \[\cos B=\dfrac{side\,adj.\,B}{hyp.}=\dfrac{BC}{AB}\] …… (2)

Then, \[\cos A=\cos B\]

Now, equate equation (1) and (2).

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{AC}{AB}=\dfrac{BC}{AB}\]

$\Rightarrow AC=BC$

\[\Rightarrow \angle A=\angle B\].

Therefore, Angles opposite to equal sides are equal.

Hence proved.

6. State Whether the Following are True or False. Justify Your Answer.           

1.  The Value of \[\tan A\] is Always Less than \[1\].

Ans: 

False because sides of a right triangle may have any length, so \[\tan A\] may have any value. For example, $\tan A=\dfrac{BC}{AB}=\dfrac{15}{10}=\dfrac{3}{2}=1.5$. 

2.  \[\sec A=\dfrac{12}{5}\] for Some Value of Angle \[A\].

Ans:

True as \[\sec A\] is always greater than \[1\]. For example, $\sec A=\dfrac{hyp.}{side\,adj.\,A}$ . As hypotenuse will be the largest side. So, it is true.

3.  \[\cos A\] is the Abbreviation Used for the Cosecant of Angle \[A\].

Ans:

False as \[\cos A\] is the abbreviation of \[\operatorname{cosineA}\]. Because $\cos A$ means cosine of angle $A$ and $\operatorname{co}\sec A$ means cosecant of angle $A$.

4.  \[\cot A\] is the Product of \[\cot \]and \[A\].

Ans:

False as \[\cot A\] is not the product of \[cot\] and \[A\]. \[cot\] without \[A\] doesn’t have meaning. 

5.  \[\sin \theta =\dfrac{4}{3}\] for Some Angle \[\theta \].

Ans:  

False as \[\sin \theta \] cannot be greater than \[1\]. For example, $\sin \theta =\dfrac{side\,opp.\,\theta }{hyp}$. Since the hypotenuse is the largest side. So, \[\sin \theta \] will be less than $1$.

7. Evaluate the Following Equations: 

i. \[\dfrac{\sin {{18}^{\circ }}}{\cos {{72}^{\circ }}}\]

Ans:

Given: \[\dfrac{\sin {{18}^{\circ }}}{\cos {{72}^{\circ }}}\]

We know that, $\sin \left( 90{}^\circ -\theta  \right)=\cos \theta $

Then, 

\[\dfrac{\sin {{18}^{\circ }}}{\cos {{72}^{\circ }}}=\dfrac{\sin ({{90}^{\circ }}-{{72}^{\circ }})}{\cos {{72}^{\circ }}}=\dfrac{\cos {{72}^{\circ }}}{\cos {{72}^{\circ }}}=1\]                   

$\therefore \dfrac{\sin 18{}^\circ }{\cos 72{}^\circ }=1$

ii. \[\dfrac{\tan {{26}^{\circ }}}{\cot {{64}^{\circ }}}\]

Ans:

Given: \[\dfrac{\tan {{26}^{\circ }}}{\cot {{64}^{\circ }}}\]

We know that, $\tan \left( 90{}^\circ -\theta  \right)=\cot \theta $

Then,

\[\dfrac{\tan {{26}^{\circ }}}{\cot {{64}^{\circ }}}=\dfrac{\tan ({{90}^{\circ }}-{{64}^{\circ }})}{\cot {{64}^{\circ }}}=\dfrac{\cot {{64}^{\circ }}}{\cot {{64}^{\circ }}}=1\]

$\therefore \dfrac{\tan 26{}^\circ }{\cot 64{}^\circ }=1$

iii. \[\cos {{48}^{\circ }}-\sin {{42}^{\circ }}\]

Ans:

Given: \[\cos {{48}^{\circ }}-\sin {{42}^{\circ }}\]

We know that, $\cos \left( 90{}^\circ -\theta  \right)=\sin \theta $

Then, 

\[\Rightarrow \cos ({{90}^{\circ }}-{{42}^{\circ }})-\sin {{42}^{\circ }}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sin {{42}^{\circ }}-\sin {{42}^{\circ }}\Rightarrow 0\]

 \[\therefore \cos 48{}^\circ -\sin 42{}^\circ =0\]

iv. \[\operatorname{cosec}31{}^\circ -\sec 59{}^\circ \]

Ans:  

Given: \[\operatorname{cosec}31{}^\circ -\sec 59{}^\circ \]

We know that, $\operatorname{cosec}\left( 90{}^\circ -\theta  \right)=\sec \theta $

Then,

\[\Rightarrow \operatorname{cosec}(({{90}^{\circ }}-{{59}^{\circ }})-\sec {{59}^{\circ }}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sec {{59}^{\circ }}-\sec {{59}^{\circ }}\Rightarrow 0\]

\[\therefore \operatorname{cosec}31{}^\circ -\sec 59{}^\circ =0\]

1. Show that the Following Equations:                       

1. \[\tan {{48}^{\circ }}\tan {{23}^{\circ }}\tan {{42}^{\circ }}\tan {{67}^{\circ }}=1\]

Ans:

Given: \[\tan {{48}^{\circ }}\tan {{23}^{\circ }}\tan {{42}^{\circ }}\tan {{67}^{\circ }}=1\]

We know that, $\tan \left( 90{}^\circ -\theta  \right)=\cot \theta $.

Now let us take left-hand side,

\[\tan {{48}^{\circ }}\tan {{23}^{\circ }}\tan {{42}^{\circ }}\tan {{67}^{\circ }}\]

\[\Rightarrow \tan ({{90}^{\circ }}-{{42}^{\circ }})\tan ({{90}^{\circ }}-{{67}^{\circ }})\tan {{42}^{\circ }}\tan {{67}^{\circ }}\]

\[\Rightarrow \cot {{42}^{\circ }}\cot {{67}^{\circ }}\tan {{42}^{\circ }}\tan {{67}^{\circ }}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{\tan {{42}^{\circ }}}.\dfrac{1}{\tan {{67}^{\circ }}}.\tan {{42}^{\circ }}\tan {{67}^{\circ }}\]

\[\Rightarrow 1\] is equal to R.H.S

\[\therefore \tan {{48}^{\circ }}\tan {{23}^{\circ }}\tan {{42}^{\circ }}\tan {{67}^{\circ }}=1\]

Hence proved.

(ii) \[\cos {{38}^{\circ }}\cos {{52}^{\circ }}-\sin {{38}^{\circ }}\sin {{52}^{\circ }}=0\]

Ans: 

Given: \[\cos {{38}^{\circ }}\cos {{52}^{\circ }}-\sin {{38}^{\circ }}\sin {{52}^{\circ }}=0\]

We know that, $\cos \left( 90{}^\circ -\theta  \right)=\sin \theta $

Now let us take left-hand side, 

\[\cos {{38}^{\circ }}cos{{52}^{\circ }}-\sin {{38}^{\circ }}\sin {{52}^{\circ }}\]

\[\Rightarrow \cos ({{90}^{\circ }}-{{52}^{\circ }})\cos ({{90}^{\circ }}-{{38}^{\circ }})-\sin {{38}^{\circ }}\sin {{52}^{\circ }}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sin {{52}^{\circ }}\sin {{38}^{\circ }}-\sin {{38}^{\circ }}\sin {{52}^{\circ }}\]

\[\Rightarrow 0\] is equal to R.H.S

$\therefore \cos {{38}^{\circ }}cos{{52}^{\circ }}-\sin {{38}^{\circ }}\sin {{52}^{\circ }}=0$

Hence proved.

2. If  \[\tan 2A=\cot (A-{{18}^{\circ }})\] where \[2A\] is an Acute Angle, Find the Value of \[A\]. 

Ans: 

Given: \[\tan 2A=\cot (A-{{18}^{\circ }})\]

We know that, $\cot \left( 90{}^\circ -\theta  \right)=\tan \theta $

Then,

\[\Rightarrow \cot ({{90}^{\circ }}-2A)=\cot (A-{{18}^{\circ }})\]

Now equalise the angles,

\[{{90}^{\circ }}-2A=A-{{18}^{\circ }}\]

\[-2A-A=-{{18}^{\circ }}-{{90}^{\circ }}\]

\[-3A=-{{108}^{\circ }}\]

\[A=\dfrac{108{}^\circ }{3}\]

$\therefore A=36{}^\circ $

3. If \[\tan A=\cot B\], then Prove That \[A+B={{90}^{\circ }}\].                                                            

Ans: 

Given: \[\tan A=\cot B\]

We know that, $\cot \left( 90{}^\circ -\theta  \right)=\tan \theta $

Then,

\[\cot ({{90}^{\circ }}-A)=\cot B\]

Now equalise the angles,

\[{{90}^{\circ }}-A=B\]

\[\Rightarrow A+B={{90}^{\circ }}\]

$\therefore A+B=90{}^\circ $

Hence proved.

4. If \[\sec 4A=\operatorname{cosec}(A-{{20}^{\circ }})\], Where \[4A\] is an Acute Angle, Then Find the Value of $A$.

Ans:  

Given: \[\sec 4A=\operatorname{cosec}(A-{{20}^{\circ }})\]

We know that, $\operatorname{cosec}\left( 90{}^\circ -\theta  \right)=\sec \theta $

Then,

\[\Rightarrow \operatorname{cosec}({{90}^{\circ }}-4A)=\operatorname{cosec}(A-{{20}^{\circ }})\]

Now equalise the angles,

\[{{90}^{\circ }}-4A=A-{{20}^{\circ }}\]

\[-4A-A=-{{20}^{\circ }}-{{90}^{\circ }}\]

\[-5A=-{{110}^{\circ }}\]

\[A=\dfrac{{{110}^{\circ }}}{5}\]

\[\therefore A={{22}^{\circ }}\]

Hence proved.

5. If \[A,B\] and \[C\] are Interior Angles of a \[\Delta ABC\], then Show That \[\sin \left( \dfrac{B+C}{2} \right)=\cos \dfrac{A}{2}\].

Ans: 

Given: \[A,B\] and \[C\] are interior angles of a \[\Delta ABC\].

We know that, \[A+B+C={{180}^{\circ }}\].

Let us consider, 

\[\dfrac{A+B+C}{2}={{90}^{\circ }}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{B+C}{2}={{90}^{\circ }}-\dfrac{A}{2}\]

Multiply $\sin $ on both sides,

\[\sin \left( \dfrac{B+C}{2} \right)=\sin \left( {{90}^{\circ }}-\dfrac{A}{2} \right)\]

\[\therefore \sin \left( \dfrac{B+C}{2} \right)=\cos \dfrac{A}{2}\]

Hence proved.

6. Express \[\sin {{67}^{\circ }}+\cos {{75}^{\circ }}\] in terms of trigonometric ratios of angles between  \[{{0}^{\circ }}\] and \[{{45}^{\circ }}\].                                                   

Ans: 

Given: \[\sin {{67}^{\circ }}+\cos {{75}^{\circ }}\].

We know that, $\sin \left( 90{}^\circ -\theta  \right)=\cos \theta $ and $\cos \left( 90{}^\circ -\theta  \right)=\sin \theta $.

Then, 

\[\sin {{67}^{\circ }}+\cos {{75}^{\circ }}=\sin ({{90}^{\circ }}-{{23}^{\circ }})+\cos ({{90}^{\circ }}-{{15}^{\circ }})\]

\[=\cos {{23}^{\circ }}+\sin {{15}^{\circ }}\]

\[\therefore \cos {{23}^{\circ }}+\sin {{15}^{\circ }}\] is the required value.

7. Express the Trigonometric Ratios \[\sin A,\sec A\] and \[\tan A\] in Terms of \[\cot A\]. 

Ans: 

Find the value of \[\sin A\] in terms of \[\cot A\].

By using identity \[{{\operatorname{cosec}}^{2}}A-{{\cot }^{2}}A=1\].

Then, use $\operatorname{cosec}A=\dfrac{1}{\sin A}$

\[\Rightarrow {{\operatorname{cosec}}^{2}}A=1+{{\cot }^{2}}A\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{{{\sin }^{2}}A}=1+{{\cot }^{2}}A\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\sin }^{2}}A=\dfrac{1}{1+{{\cot }^{2}}A}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sin A=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1+{{\cot }^{2}}A}}\]

\[\therefore \sin A=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1+{{\cot }^{2}}A}}\]

Now find the value for \[\sec A\] in terms of \[\cot A\].

Using identity \[{{\sec }^{2}}A-{{\tan }^{2}}A=1\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\sec }^{2}}A=1+{{\tan }^{2}}A\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\sec }^{2}}A=1+\dfrac{1}{{{\cot }^{2}}A}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\sec }^{2}}A=\dfrac{{{\cot }^{2}}A+1}{{{\cot }^{2}}A}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sec A=\dfrac{\sqrt{1+{{\cot }^{2}}A}}{\cot A}\] 

\[\therefore \sec A=\dfrac{\sqrt{1+{{\cot }^{2}}A}}{\cot A}\]

And find the value for \[\tan A\] in terms of \[\cot A\]

By trigonometric ratio property, $\tan A=\dfrac{1}{\cot A}$

Hence, \[\tan A=\dfrac{1}{\cot A}\]

Therefore, \[\sin A,\sec A\] and \[\tan A\] are founded in terms of \[\cot A\]. 

8. Write the Other Trigonometric Ratios of $A$ in Terms of \[\sec A\].                        

Ans: 

Find the value of \[\sin A\] in terms of \[\sec A\]

By using identity,\[{{\sin }^{2}}A+{{\cos }^{2}}A=1\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\sin }^{2}}A=1-{{\cos }^{2}}A\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\sin }^{2}}A=1-\dfrac{1}{{{\sec }^{2}}A}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\sin }^{2}}A=\dfrac{{{\sec }^{2}}A-1}{{{\sec }^{2}}A}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sin A=\dfrac{\sqrt{{{\sec }^{2}}A-1}}{\sec A}\]

\[\therefore \sin A=\dfrac{\sqrt{{{\sec }^{2}}A-1}}{\sec A}\]

Now find the value for \[\cos A\] in terms of \[\sec A\],

By trigonometric ratio property, $\cos A=\dfrac{1}{\sec A}$

$\therefore \cos A=\dfrac{1}{\sec A}$

Find the value for $\tan A$ in terms of \[\sec A\],

By using identity, \[{{\sec }^{2}}A-{{\tan }^{2}}A=1\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\tan }^{2}}A={{\sec }^{2}}A-1\]

\[\Rightarrow \tan A=\sqrt{{{\sec }^{2}}A-1}\]

\[\therefore \tan A=\sqrt{{{\sec }^{2}}A-1}\]

Find the value for \[\operatorname{cosec}A\] in terms of \[\sec A\]

By trigonometric ratio property, \[\operatorname{cosec}A=\dfrac{1}{\sin A}\]

\[\Rightarrow \operatorname{cosec}A=\dfrac{1}{\sin A}\]

Substitute the value of \[\sin A=\dfrac{\sqrt{{{\sec }^{2}}A-1}}{\sec A}\].

\[\Rightarrow \operatorname{cosec}A=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{\sqrt{{{\sec }^{2}}A-1}}{\sec A}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \operatorname{cosec}A=\dfrac{\sec A}{\sqrt{{{\sec }^{2}}A-1}}\]

\[\therefore \operatorname{cosec}A=\dfrac{\sec A}{\sqrt{{{\sec }^{2}}A-1}}\]

Finally, find the value for \[\cot A\] in terms of \[\sec A\]

By trigonometric ratio property, \[\cot A=\dfrac{1}{\tan A}\]

$\Rightarrow \cot A=\dfrac{1}{\tan A}$

Substitute the value of \[\tan A=\sqrt{{{\sec }^{2}}A-1}\]

\[\Rightarrow \cot A=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{{{\sec }^{2}}A-1}}\]

$\therefore \cot A=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{{{\sec }^{2}}A-1}}$.

9. Evaluate the Following Equations:                                    

(i) \[\dfrac{{{\sin }^{2}}{{63}^{\circ }}+{{\sin }^{2}}{{27}^{\circ }}}{{{\cos }^{2}}{{17}^{\circ }}+{{\cos }^{2}}{{73}^{\circ }}}\]

Ans:

Given: \[\dfrac{{{\sin }^{2}}{{63}^{\circ }}+{{\sin }^{2}}{{27}^{\circ }}}{{{\cos }^{2}}{{17}^{\circ }}+{{\cos }^{2}}{{73}^{\circ }}}\]

We know that, \[\sin ({{90}^{\circ }}-\theta )=\cos \theta ,\cos ({{90}^{\circ }}-\theta )=\sin \theta \] and  \[{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{\cos }^{2}}\theta =1\]

Then,

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{{{\sin }^{2}}{{63}^{\circ }}+{{\sin }^{2}}({{90}^{\circ }}-{{63}^{\circ }})}{{{\cos }^{2}}({{90}^{\circ }}-{{73}^{\circ }})+{{\cos }^{2}}{{73}^{\circ }}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{{{\sin }^{2}}{{63}^{\circ }}+{{\cos }^{2}}{{63}^{\circ }}}{{{\sin }^{2}}{{73}^{\circ }}+{{\cos }^{2}}{{73}^{\circ }}}\]         

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{1}\Rightarrow 1\]                      

$\therefore \dfrac{{{\sin }^{2}}{{63}^{\circ }}+{{\sin }^{2}}{{27}^{\circ }}}{{{\cos }^{2}}{{17}^{\circ }}+{{\cos }^{2}}{{73}^{\circ }}}=1$         

(ii) \[\sin {{25}^{\circ }}\cos {{65}^{\circ }}+\cos {{25}^{\circ }}\sin {{65}^{\circ }}\]

Ans:  

Given: \[\sin {{25}^{\circ }}\cos {{65}^{\circ }}+\cos {{25}^{\circ }}\sin {{65}^{\circ }}\]

We know that, $\sin \left( A+B \right)=\sin A\cos B+\cos A\sin B$

Then,

\[\Rightarrow \sin \left( 25{}^\circ +65{}^\circ  \right)\]

\[\Rightarrow \sin 90{}^\circ \]                    

\[\Rightarrow 1\]

$\therefore \sin {{25}^{\circ }}\cos {{65}^{\circ }}+\cos {{25}^{\circ }}\sin {{65}^{\circ }}=1$

10. Show that Any Positive Odd Integer Is of the Form \[\mathbf{6q}\text{ }+\text{ }\mathbf{1}\], or \[\mathbf{6q}\text{ }+\text{ }\mathbf{3},\]or \[\mathbf{6q}\text{ }+\text{ }\mathbf{5}\], where \[q\] is some integer.                                                      

Ans: 

Let \[a\] be any positive integer and \[b=\text{ }6\]. 

Then, by Euclid’s algorithm,

\[a=6q+r\] for some integer \[q\ge 0\], and \[r=0,1,2,3,4,5\] because \[0\le r<\text{ }6\].

Therefore, \[a=6q\] or \[6q+\text{ }1\] or \[6q+\text{ }2\]or \[6q\text{ }+3\]or \[6q+\text{ }4\]or \[6q+\text{ }5\]

Also, \[6q+1=2\times 3q+1=2{{k}_{1}}+1,\] where \[{{k}_{1}}\] is a positive integer

\[6q+3=(6q+2)+1=2(3q+1)+1=2{{k}_{2}}+\text{ }1,\]Where \[{{k}_{2}}\]is an integer

\[6q+5=(6q+4)+1=2(3q+2)+1=2{{k}_{3}}+1\], where \[{{k}_{3}}\] is an integer

Clearly, \[6q+1,6q+3,6q+5\] are of the form \[2k+\text{ }1,\]where \[k\]an integer is.

Therefore, \[6q+1,6q+3,6q+5\] are not exactly divisible by \[2\].

Hence, these expressions of numbers are odd numbers.

And therefore, any odd integer can be expressed in the form \[6q+1\], or \[6q+3\], or\[6q+5.\]

11. An Army Contingent of \[\mathbf{616}\] Members are to March Behind an Army Band of \[\mathbf{32}\] Members in a Parade. The Two Groups Are to March in the Same Number of Columns. What Is the Maximum Number of Columns in Which They Can March?

Ans: 

We have to find the \[HCF\left( 616,\text{ }32 \right)\] to find the maximum number of columns in which they can march. 

To find the HCF, we can use Euclid’s algorithm.

\[616=32\times 19+8\]

\[\Rightarrow 32=8\times 4+0\]

Hence,  \[HCF\left( 616,\text{ }32 \right)\] is \[8\].

Therefore, they can march in \[8\] columns each.

12. Use Euclid’s Division Lemma to Show That the Square of Any Positive Integer Is Either of Form \[\mathbf{3}m\]or \[\mathbf{3}m+\mathbf{1}\] for some integer \[m\]. 

[Hint: Let \[x\] be any positive integer then it is of the form\[\mathbf{3}q,\mathbf{3}q+\mathbf{1}\] or \[\mathbf{3}q+\mathbf{2}\text{ }\]. Now square each of these and show that they can be rewritten in the form \[\mathbf{3}m\]or \[\mathbf{3}m+\mathbf{1}\].]

Ans: 

Let\[\text{ }a\] be any positive integer and \[b=3\].

Then \[a=3q+r\] for some integer \[q\ge 0\]

And \[r=0,1,2\] because \[0\le r<3\]

Therefore, \[a=3q\] or \[3q+1\] or \[3q+2\]

Or,

\[\Rightarrow {{a}^{2}}={{(3q)}^{2}}\] or \[{{(3q+1)}^{2}}\] or \[{{(3q+2)}^{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{a}^{2}}={{(9q)}^{2}}\] or \[9{{q}^{2}}+6q+1\] or \[9{{q}^{2}}+12q+4\]

\[\Rightarrow {{a}^{2}}=3\times {{(3q)}^{2}}\] or \[3(3{{q}^{2}}+2q)+1\] or \[3(3{{q}^{2}}+4q+1)+1\]

\[\Rightarrow a=3{{k}_{1}}\] or \[3{{k}_{2}}+1\] or \[3{{k}_{3}}+1\]

Where \[{{k}_{1}},{{k}_{2}},{{k}_{3}}\] are some positive integers 

Hence, it can be said that the square of any positive integer is either of the form \[3m\]or \[3m+1\].

Short Answer Questions (3 Marks)

1. Given \[\sec \theta =\dfrac{13}{12}\], Calculate the Values for All Other Trigonometric Ratios. 

Ans: 

Given:  \[\sec \theta =\dfrac{13}{12}\]

Let us consider a triangle \[ABC\] in which \[\angle A=\theta \] and \[\angle B={{90}^{\circ }}\]

Let \[AB=12k\] and \[AC=13k\]

Then, find the value of $BC$

\[BC=\sqrt{{{(AC)}^{2}}-{{(AB)}^{2}}}\]

\[\begin{align}&\Rightarrow\sqrt{{{(13k)}^{2}}-{{(12k)}^{2}}}\\&\Rightarrow \sqrt{69{{k}^{2}}-144{{k}^{2}}} \\ & \Rightarrow \sqrt{25{{k}^{2}}} \\ & \Rightarrow 5k \\ \end{align}\]

\[\therefore BC=5k\]

Since, \[\sec \theta =\dfrac{13}{12}\]

Similarly, 

\[\sin \theta =\dfrac{BC}{AC}=\dfrac{5k}{13k}=\dfrac{5}{13}\]

\[\cos \theta =\dfrac{AB}{AC}=\dfrac{12k}{13k}=\dfrac{12}{13}\]

\[\tan \theta =\dfrac{BC}{AB}=\dfrac{5k}{12k}=\dfrac{5}{12}\]

\[\cot \theta =\dfrac{AB}{BC}=\dfrac{12k}{5k}=\dfrac{12}{5}\]

\[\cos ec\theta =\dfrac{AC}{BC}=\dfrac{13k}{5k}=\dfrac{13}{5}\]

2. If \[\cot \theta =\dfrac{7}{8}\], then Evaluate the Followings Equations:                                                                                        

i. \[\dfrac{(1+\sin \theta )(1-\sin \theta )}{(1+\cos \theta )(1-\cos \theta )}\]

Ans:

Given: \[\cot \theta =\dfrac{7}{8}\]

Let us consider a triangle \[ABC\] in which \[\angle A=\theta \] and \[\angle B={{90}^{\circ }}\]

Then, \[AB=7k\] and \[BC=8k\]

Using Pythagoras theorem, find $AC$

\[AC=\sqrt{{{(BC)}^{2}}+{{(AB)}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sqrt{{{(8k)}^{2}}+{{(7k)}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sqrt{64{{k}^{2}}+49{{k}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sqrt{113{{k}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sqrt{113}k\]

\[\therefore AC=\sqrt{113}k\]

Now find the value of trigonometric ratios.

\[\sin \theta =\dfrac{BC}{AC}=\dfrac{8k}{\sqrt{113}k}=\dfrac{8}{\sqrt{113}}\] and \[\cos \theta =\dfrac{AB}{AC}=\dfrac{7k}{\sqrt{113}k}=\dfrac{7}{\sqrt{113}}\].

Then, 

\[\dfrac{(1+\sin \theta )(1-\sin \theta )}{(1+\cos \theta )(1-\cos \theta )}\]

We know that, ${{\cos }^{2}}\theta +{{\sin }^{2}}\theta =1$

Then,

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1-{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }{1-{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }\Rightarrow \dfrac{{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{\dfrac{49}{113}}{\dfrac{64}{113}}\Rightarrow \dfrac{49}{113}\cdot \dfrac{113}{64}\Rightarrow \dfrac{49}{64}\]

$\therefore \dfrac{(1+\sin \theta )(1-\sin \theta )}{(1+\cos \theta )(1-\cos \theta )}=\dfrac{49}{64}$

ii. \[{{\cot }^{2}}\theta \]

Ans: 

Given: \[{{\cot }^{2}}\theta \]

We know that, $\cot \theta =\dfrac{\cos \theta }{\sin \theta }$

Then,

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }\Rightarrow \dfrac{\dfrac{49}{113}}{\dfrac{64}{113}}\Rightarrow \dfrac{49}{64}\]

$\therefore {{\cot }^{2}}\theta =\dfrac{49}{64}$

Hence, $\dfrac{\left( 1+\sin \theta  \right)\left( 1-\sin \theta  \right)}{\left( 1+\cos \theta  \right)\left( 1-\cos \theta  \right)}$ and ${{\cot }^{2}}\theta $ are same.

3. If \[3\cot A=4\], then show that  \[\dfrac{1-{{\tan }^{2}}A}{1+{{\tan }^{2}}A}={{\cos }^{2}}A-{{\sin }^{2}}A\].              

Ans: 

Given: \[3\cot A=4\]

Let us consider a triangle \[ABC\] in which  \[\angle B={{90}^{\circ }}\]

Then, \[3\cot A=4\] 

\[\Rightarrow \cot A=\dfrac{4}{3}\]

Let \[AB=4k\] and \[BC=3k\]

Using Pythagoras theorem, find $AC$

\[AC=\sqrt{{{(BC)}^{2}}+{{(AB)}^{2}}}\]

 \[\Rightarrow \sqrt{{{(3k)}^{2}}+{{(4k)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{16{{k}^{2}}+9{{k}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sqrt{25{{k}^{2}}}=5k\]

\[\therefore AC=5k\]

Now find the value of trigonometric ratios.

\[\sin A=\dfrac{BC}{AC}=\dfrac{3k}{5k}=\dfrac{3}{5}\]  , \[\cos A=\dfrac{AB}{AC}=\dfrac{4k}{5k}=\dfrac{4}{5}\] and \[\tan A=\dfrac{BC}{AB}=\dfrac{3k}{4k}=\dfrac{3}{4}\].

To prove: \[\dfrac{1-{{\tan }^{2}}A}{1+{{\tan }^{2}}A}={{\cos }^{2}}A-{{\sin }^{2}}A\]

Let us take left-hand side 

L.H.S \[=\dfrac{1-{{\tan }^{2}}A}{1+{{\tan }^{2}}A}\]

Substitute the value of $\tan A$.

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1-\dfrac{9}{16}}{1+\dfrac{9}{16}}=\dfrac{16}{25}-\dfrac{9}{25}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{7}{25}\]

\[\therefore \dfrac{1-{{\tan }^{2}}A}{1+{{\tan }^{2}}A}=\dfrac{7}{25}\]

Then,

R.H.S \[={{\cos }^{2}}A-{{\sin }^{2}}A\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\left( \dfrac{4}{5} \right)}^{2}}-{{\left( \dfrac{3}{5} \right)}^{2}}=\dfrac{16}{25}-\dfrac{9}{25}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{7}{25}\]

$\therefore {{\cos }^{2}}A-{{\sin }^{2}}A=\dfrac{7}{25}$.

It shows that \[\text{L}\text{.H}\text{.S=R}\text{.H}\text{.S}\]

\[\therefore \dfrac{1-{{\tan }^{2}}A}{1+{{\tan }^{2}}A}={{\cos }^{2}}A-{{\sin }^{2}}A\]

Hence proved.

4. In \[\Delta ABC\] Right Angles at \[B\], if \[A=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\], then Find Value of the Following Equations:                                  

(i) \[\sin A\cos C+\cos A\sin C\]

Ans: 

Let us consider a triangle \[ABC\] in which  \[\angle B={{90}^{\circ }}\]

Let \[BC=k\]and \[AB=\sqrt{3}k\]

Then, using Pythagoras theorem find $AC$

\[AC=\sqrt{{{(BC)}^{2}}+{{(AB)}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sqrt{{{(k)}^{2}}+{{(\sqrt{3}k)}^{2}}}\Rightarrow \sqrt{{{k}^{2}}+3{{k}^{2}}}\Rightarrow \sqrt{4{{k}^{2}}}\Rightarrow 2k\]

\[\therefore AC=2k\]

Now find the value of trigonometric ratios.

\[\sin A=\dfrac{BC}{AC}=\dfrac{k}{2k}=\dfrac{1}{2}\] and \[\cos A=\dfrac{AB}{AC}=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}k}{2k}=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\]

For \[\angle C\], adjacent \[=BC\], opposite \[=AB\], and hypotenuse \[=AC\]

\[\sin C=\dfrac{AB}{AC}=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}k}{2k}=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\] and \[\cos A=\dfrac{BC}{AC}=\dfrac{k}{2k}=\dfrac{1}{2}\]

Now find the values of the following equations,

\[\sin A\cos C+\cos A\sin C\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\times \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{3}{4}\Rightarrow \dfrac{4}{4}\Rightarrow 1\]

\[\therefore \sin A\cos C+\cos A\sin C=1\]

(ii) \[\cos A\cos C-\sin A\sin C\]

Ans:

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\Rightarrow \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}-\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\Rightarrow 0\]

\[\therefore \cos A\cos C-\sin A\sin C=0\]

5. In \[\Delta PQR\], right angled at \[Q\],\[PR+QR=25cm\] and \[PQ=5cm\]. Determine the Values of  \[\sin P,\cos P\]  and \[\tan P\].                                                                      

Ans: 

Given: In \[\Delta PQR\], right angled at \[Q\]

And \[PR+QR=25cm\], \[PQ=5cm\]

Let us take \[QR=xcm\] and \[PR=(25-x)cm\]

By using Pythagoras theorem, find the value of $x$.

\[R{{P}^{2}}=R{{Q}^{2}}+Q{{P}^{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{(25-x)}^{2}}={{(x)}^{2}}+{{(5)}^{2}}\Rightarrow 625-50x+{{x}^{2}}={{x}^{2}}+25\]

\[\Rightarrow -50x=-600\Rightarrow x=12\]

Hence, \[RQ=12cm\]and \[RP=25-12=13cm\]

Now, find the values of \[\sin P,\cos P\]  and \[\tan P\].    

\[\therefore \sin P=\dfrac{RQ}{RP}=\dfrac{12}{13}\], \[\cos P=\dfrac{PQ}{RP}=\dfrac{5}{13}\] and \[\tan P=\dfrac{RQ}{PQ}=\dfrac{12}{5}\].

6. If \[\tan (A+B)=\sqrt{3}\] and \[\tan (A-B)=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\]; \[{{0}^{\circ }}<A+B\le {{90}^{\circ }}\]; \[A>B\]. Find \[A\]and \[B\].  

Ans: 

Given: $\tan \left( A+B \right)=\sqrt{3}$ and $\tan \left( A-B \right)=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$.

We know that,$\tan 60{}^\circ =\sqrt{3}$ and $\tan 30{}^\circ =\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$.

Then,

$\tan \left( A+B \right)=\tan 60{}^\circ $

$\Rightarrow A+B=60{}^\circ $          …… (1)

$\tan \left( A-B \right)=\tan 30{}^\circ $

$\Rightarrow A-B=30{}^\circ $          …… (2)

Adding equation (1) and (2). We get,

$\begin{align} & A+B+A-B=60{}^\circ +30{}^\circ \\ & \Rightarrow 2A=90{}^\circ \Rightarrow A=45{}^\circ \\ \end{align}$

$\therefore A=45{}^\circ $

Put $A=45{}^\circ $ in equation (1).

$A+B=60{}^\circ $

$\Rightarrow 45{}^\circ +B=60{}^\circ \Rightarrow B=60{}^\circ -45{}^\circ \Rightarrow B=15{}^\circ $

$\therefore B=15{}^\circ $

Hence, $A=45{}^\circ $ and $B=15{}^\circ $.

\[\Rightarrow \left( 1+\dfrac{\sin \theta }{\cos \theta }+\dfrac{1}{\cos \theta } \right)\left( 1+\dfrac{\cos \theta }{\sin \theta }-\dfrac{1}{\sin \theta } \right)\Rightarrow \left( \dfrac{\cos \theta +\sin \theta +1}{\cos \theta } \right)\left( \dfrac{\sin \theta +\cos \theta -1}{\sin \theta } \right)\]

We know that, \[{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{\cos }^{2}}\theta =1\]

1. Express the Trigonometric Ratios \[\sin A,\sec A\] and \[\tan A\] in Terms of \[\cot A\].  

Ans: 

Find the value for \[\sin A\] in terms of \[\cot A\]

By using identity \[\cos e{{c}^{2}}A-{{\cot }^{2}}A=1\]

Then,

\[\Rightarrow {{\operatorname{cosec}}^{2}}A=1+{{\cot }^{2}}A\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{{{\sin }^{2}}A}=1+{{\cot }^{2}}A\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\sin }^{2}}A=\dfrac{1}{1+{{\cot }^{2}}A}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sin A=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1+{{\cot }^{2}}A}}\]

$\therefore \sin A=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1+{{\cot }^{2}}A}}$

Express the value of \[\sec A\] in terms of \[\cot A\]

By using identity \[{{\sec }^{2}}A-{{\tan }^{2}}A=1\]

Then,

\[\Rightarrow {{\sec }^{2}}A=1+{{\tan }^{2}}A\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\sec }^{2}}A=1+\dfrac{1}{{{\cot }^{2}}A}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\sec }^{2}}A=\dfrac{1+{{\cot }^{2}}A}{{{\cot }^{2}}A}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sec A=\dfrac{\sqrt{1+{{\cot }^{2}}A}}{\cot A}\]

\[\therefore \sec A=\dfrac{\sqrt{1+{{\cot }^{2}}A}}{\cot A}\]

Express the value of \[\tan A\] in terms of \[\cot A\]

2. Write the Other Trigonometric Ratios of \[A\] in Terms of \[\sec A\].                 

Ans: 

Express the value of \[\sin A\] in terms of \[\sec A\]

By using identity, \[{{\sin }^{2}}A+{{\cos }^{2}}A=1\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\sin }^{2}}A=1-{{\cos }^{2}}A\Rightarrow 1-\dfrac{1}{{{\sec }^{2}}A}\Rightarrow \dfrac{{{\sec }^{2}}A-1}{{{\sec }^{2}}A}\]

By using identity \[{{\sec }^{2}}A-{{\tan }^{2}}A=1\]

Then,

\[\Rightarrow {{\tan }^{2}}A={{\sec }^{2}}A-1\]

\[\Rightarrow \tan A=\sqrt{{{\sec }^{2}}A-1}\]

$\therefore \tan A=\sqrt{{{\sec }^{2}}A-1}$

Express the value of \[\cos ecA\] in terms of \[\sec A\]

We know that, $\operatorname{cosec}A=\dfrac{1}{\sin A}$

Then,

Substitute the value of \[\sin A\]

\[\Rightarrow \cos ecA=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{\sqrt{{{\sec }^{2}}A-1}}{\sec A}}\Rightarrow \dfrac{\sec A}{\sqrt{{{\sec }^{2}}A-1}}\]

$\therefore \operatorname{cosec}A=\dfrac{\sec A}{\sqrt{{{\sec }^{2}}A-1}}$

(i). ${{(\operatorname{cosec}\theta -\cot \theta )}^{2}}=\dfrac{1-\cos \theta }{1+\cos \theta }$

Ans:

Given: ${{(\operatorname{cosec}\theta -\cot \theta )}^{2}}=\dfrac{1-\cos \theta }{1+\cos \theta }$

We know that, \[{{(a-b)}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}-2ab\], $\operatorname{cosec}\theta =\dfrac{1}{\sin \theta }$ and $\cot \theta =\dfrac{\cos \theta }{\sin \theta }$

Then, let us take left-hand side

\[\Rightarrow {{(\operatorname{cosec}\theta -\cot \theta )}^{2}}={{\operatorname{cosec}}^{2}}\theta +{{\cot }^{2}}\theta -2\operatorname{cosec}\theta \cot \theta \] 

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }+\dfrac{{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }-2\times \dfrac{1}{\sin \theta }.\dfrac{\cos \theta }{\sin \theta }\Rightarrow \dfrac{1+{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }-\dfrac{2\cos \theta }{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1+{{\cos }^{2}}\theta -2\cos \theta }{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }\Rightarrow \dfrac{{{(1-\cos \theta )}^{2}}}{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{(1-\cos \theta )(1-\cos \theta )}{1-{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }\Rightarrow \dfrac{(1-\cos \theta )(1-\cos \theta )}{(1+\cos \theta )(1-\cos \theta )}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1-\cos \theta }{1+\cos \theta }=\text{R}\text{.H}\text{.S}\]

$\therefore {{(\operatorname{cosec}\theta -\cot \theta )}^{2}}=\dfrac{1-\cos \theta }{1+\cos \theta }$

Hence proved.

Given: \[\dfrac{\cos A}{1+\sin A}+\dfrac{1+\sin A}{\cos A}=2\sec A\]

We know that, \[{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{\cos }^{2}}\theta =1\]

Then, let us take left-hand side

\[\dfrac{\cos A}{1+\sin A}+\dfrac{1+\sin A}{\cos A}\Rightarrow \dfrac{{{\cos }^{2}}A+1+{{\sin }^{2}}A+2\sin A}{(1+\sin A)\cos A}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{{{\cos }^{2}}A+{{\sin }^{2}}A+1+2\sin A}{(1+\sin A)\cos A}\]      

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1+1+2\sin A}{(1+\sin A)\cos A}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{2+2\sin A}{(1+\sin A)\cos A}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{2(1+\sin A)}{(1+\sin A)\cos A}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{\cos A}\Rightarrow 2\sec A=\text{R}\text{.H}\text{.S}\]

$\therefore \dfrac{\cos A}{1+\sin A}+\dfrac{1+\sin A}{\cos A}=2\sec A$

We know that, \[{{a}^{3}}-{{b}^{3}}=(a-b)({{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+ab)\] and \[{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{\cos }^{2}}\theta =1\]

Then, let us take L.H.S

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{\sin \theta }{\cos \theta }\times \dfrac{\sin \theta }{\sin \theta -\cos \theta }+\dfrac{\cos \theta }{\sin \theta }\times \dfrac{\cos \theta }{\cos \theta -\sin \theta }\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }{\cos \theta (\sin \theta -\cos \theta )}-\dfrac{{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }{\sin \theta (\sin \theta -\cos \theta )}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{{{\sin }^{3}}\theta -{{\cos }^{3}}\theta }{\sin \theta \cos \theta (\sin \theta -\cos \theta )}\]                     

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1+\sin \theta \cos \theta }{\sin \theta \cos \theta }\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{\sin \theta \cos \theta }+1\]

\[\Rightarrow 1+\dfrac{1}{\sin \theta \cos \theta }\Rightarrow 1+\sec \theta \cos ec\theta \] = R.H.S

$\therefore \dfrac{\tan \theta }{1-\cot \theta }+\dfrac{\cot \theta }{1-\tan \theta }=1+\sec \theta \operatorname{cosec}\theta $

Hence proved.

Then, let us take L.H.S 

\[\dfrac{1+\sec A}{\sec A}=\dfrac{1+\dfrac{1}{\cos A}}{\dfrac{1}{\cos A}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{\cos A+1}{\cos A}\times \dfrac{\cos A}{1}\Rightarrow 1+\cos A\]

\[\Rightarrow 1+\cos A\times \dfrac{1-\cos A}{1-\cos A}\Rightarrow \dfrac{1-{{\cos }^{2}}A}{1-\cos A}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{{{\sin }^{2}}A}{1-\cos A}=\text{R}\text{.H}\text{.S}\]

$\therefore \dfrac{1+\sec A}{\sec A}=\dfrac{{{\sin }^{2}}A}{1-\cos A}$

Hence proved.

(v) \[\dfrac{\cos A-\sin A+1}{\cos A+\sin A-1}=\cos ecA+\cot A\], using the identity \[\cos e{{c}^{2}}A=1+{{\cot }^{2}}A\]

Ans:

Given: \[\dfrac{\cos A-\sin A+1}{\cos A+\sin A-1}=\cos ecA+\cot A\]

We know that, \[\cos e{{c}^{2}}A=1+{{\cot }^{2}}A\]

Then, let us take L.H.S 

\[\dfrac{\cos A-\sin A+1}{\cos A+\sin A-1}\]

Dividing all terms by \[\sin A\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{\cot A-1+\cos ecA}{\cot A+1-\cos ecA}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{\cot A+\cos ecA-1}{\cot A-\cos ecA+1}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{(\cot A+\cos ecA)-(\cos e{{c}^{2}}A-{{\cot }^{2}}A)}{(1+\cot A-\cos ecA)}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{(\cot A+\cos ecA)+({{\cot }^{2}}A-\cos e{{c}^{2}}A)}{(1+\cot A-\cos ecA)}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{(\cot A+\cos ecA)(1+\cot A-\cos ecA)}{(1+\cot A-\cos ecA)}\]

\[\Rightarrow \cot A+\cos ecA=\text{R}\text{.H}\text{.S}\]

$\therefore \dfrac{\cos A-\sin A+1}{\cos A+\sin A-1}=\cos ecA+\cot A$

Then, let us take L.H.S 

\[\sqrt{\dfrac{1+\sin A}{1-\sin A}}\]

Let us take conjugate of the term. Then,

\[\Rightarrow \sqrt{\dfrac{1+\sin A}{1-\sin A}}\times \sqrt{\dfrac{1+\sin A}{1+\sin A}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sqrt{\dfrac{{{(1+\sin A)}^{2}}}{1-{{\sin }^{2}}A}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sqrt{\dfrac{{{\left( 1+\sin A \right)}^{2}}}{{{\operatorname{Cos}}^{2}}A}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1+\sin A}{\cos A}\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{\cos A}+\dfrac{\sin A}{\cos A}\]                           

\[\Rightarrow \sec A+\tan A=\text{R}\text{.H}\text{.S}\]           

$\therefore \sqrt{\dfrac{1+\sin A}{1-\sin A}}=\sec A+\tan A$       

Hence proved.        

(vii) \[\dfrac{\sin \theta -2{{\sin }^{3}}\theta }{2{{\cos }^{3}}\theta -\cos \theta }=\tan \theta \]

Ans:

Given: \[\dfrac{\sin \theta -2{{\sin }^{3}}\theta }{2{{\cos }^{3}}\theta -\cos \theta }=\tan \theta \]

We know that, \[1-{{\sin }^{2}}\theta ={{\cos }^{2}}\theta \]

Then, let us take L.H.S

\[\dfrac{\sin \theta -2{{\sin }^{3}}\theta }{2{{\cos }^{3}}\theta -\cos \theta }=\dfrac{\sin \theta (1-2{{\sin }^{2}}\theta )}{\cos \theta (2{{\cos }^{2}}\theta -1)}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{\sin \theta (1-2{{\sin }^{2}}\theta )}{\cos \theta \left[ 2(1-{{\sin }^{2}}\theta )-1 \right]}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{\sin \theta (1-2{{\sin }^{2}}\theta )}{\cos \theta (2-2{{\sin }^{2}}\theta -1)}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{\sin \theta (1-2{{\operatorname{Sin}}^{2}}\theta )}{\cos \theta (1-2{{\operatorname{Sin}}^{2}}\theta )}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{\sin \theta }{\cos \theta }=\tan \theta =\text{R}\text{.H}\text{.S}\]

$\therefore \dfrac{\sin \theta -2{{\sin }^{3}}\theta }{2{{\cos }^{3}}\theta -\cos \theta }=\tan \theta $

Hence proved.

\[={{\sin }^{2}}A+\dfrac{1}{{{\sin }^{2}}A}+2\sin A.\dfrac{1}{\sin A}+{{\cos }^{2}}A+\dfrac{1}{{{\cos }^{2}}A}+2\cos A.\dfrac{1}{\cos A}\]

\[=2+2+{{\sin }^{2}}A+{{\cos }^{2}}A+\dfrac{1}{{{\sin }^{2}}A}+\dfrac{1}{{{\cos }^{2}}A}\]

\[=4+1+\dfrac{1}{{{\sin }^{2}}A}+\dfrac{1}{{{\cos }^{2}}A}\]

\[=5+\cos e{{c}^{2}}A+{{\sec }^{2}}A\]

\[=5+1+{{\cot }^{2}}A+1+{{\tan }^{2}}A\]

\[=7+{{\tan }^{2}}A+{{\cot }^{2}}A=\text{R}\text{.H}\text{.S}\]

$\therefore {{(\sin A+\cos ecA)}^{2}}+{{(\cos A+\sec A)}^{2}}=7+{{\tan }^{2}}A+{{\cot }^{2}}A$

Hence proved.

Ans:

Given: \[(\cos ecA-\sin A)(\sec A-\cos A)=\dfrac{1}{\tan A+\cot A}\]

We know that, \[{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{\cos }^{2}}\theta =1\]

Then, let us take L.H.S 

\[(\cos ecA-\sin A)(\sec A-\cos A)=\left( \dfrac{1}{\sin A}-\sin A \right)\left( \dfrac{1}{\cos A}-\cos A \right)\]

\[=\left( \dfrac{1-{{\sin }^{2}}A}{\sin A} \right)\left( \dfrac{1-{{\cos }^{2}}A}{\cos A} \right)\]

\[=\dfrac{{{\cos }^{2}}A}{\sin A}\times \dfrac{{{\sin }^{2}}A}{\cos A}\]

\[=\sin A.\cos A\]

\[=\dfrac{\sin A.\cos A}{{{\sin }^{2}}A+{{\cos }^{2}}A}\]

Dividing all the terms by \[\sin A.\cos A\]

\[=\dfrac{\dfrac{\sin A.\cos A}{\sin A.\cos A}}{\dfrac{{{\sin }^{2}}A}{\sin A.\cos A}+\dfrac{{{\cos }^{2}}A}{\sin A.\cos A}}\]

\[=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{\sin A}{\cos A}+\dfrac{\cos A}{\sin A}}\]

\[=\dfrac{1}{\tan A+\cot A}=\text{R}\text{.H}\text{.S}\]

$\therefore (\cos ecA-\sin A)(\sec A-\cos A)=\dfrac{1}{\tan A+\cot A}$

Hence proved.

(x) \[\left( \dfrac{1+{{\tan }^{2}}A}{1+{{\cot }^{2}}A} \right)={{\left( \dfrac{1-\tan A}{1-\cot A} \right)}^{2}}={{\tan }^{2}}A\]

Given:\[\left( \dfrac{1+{{\tan }^{2}}A}{1+{{\cot }^{2}}A} \right)={{\left( \dfrac{1-\tan A}{1-\cot A} \right)}^{2}}={{\tan }^{2}}A\]

We know that, \[1+{{\tan }^{2}}\theta ={{\sec }^{2}}\theta \] and \[1+{{\cot }^{2}}\theta =\cos e{{c}^{2}}A\]

Then, let us take L.H.S

(i) \[\mathbf{135}\] and \[\mathbf{225}\]

Ans:  

Given: \[135\] and \[225\]

We have \[225>135\],

So, we have to apply the division lemma to \[225\] and \[135\] to obtain

\[225=135\times 1+90\]

Here remainder\[90\ne 0\], again we are applying the division lemma to \[135\] and \[90\] to obtain 

\[135=90\times 1+45\]

Again, the remainder\[45\ne 0\], then apply the division lemma to obtain 

\[90=2\times 45+0\]

Since now we got remainder as zero. Here, the process get stops. 

The divisor at this stage is \[45\]

Therefore, the HCF of \[135\] and \[225\] is \[45\].

(ii) \[\mathbf{196}\] and\[~\mathbf{38220}\] 

Ans:

\[38220=196\times 195+0\]

Since we get the remainder as zero, the process stops here. 

The divisor at this stage is \[196\], 

Therefore, HCF of \[196\] and \[38220\] is \[196\].  

(iii) \[~\mathbf{867}\] and \[\mathbf{255}\]

Here remainder \[102\ne 0\], again apply the division lemma to\[255\] and \[102\] to obtain 

\[255=102\times 2\text{ }51\]

Again, remainder \[51\ne 0\], again apply the division lemma to \[102\] and \[51\] to obtain 

\[102=51\times 2+0\]

Since we get the remainder as zero, the process stops here. 

The divisor at this stage is \[51\], 

Therefore, HCF of \[867\] and \[255\] is \[51\].

7. Evaluate the Following Equations:                                                                                                              

i. \[\sin {{60}^{\circ }}\cos {{30}^{\circ }}+\sin {{30}^{\circ }}\cos {{60}^{\circ }}\]

Ans: 

Given: \[\sin {{60}^{\circ }}\cos {{30}^{\circ }}+\sin {{30}^{\circ }}\cos {{60}^{\circ }}\]

We know that, $\sin 60{}^\circ =\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2},\,\sin 30{}^\circ =\dfrac{1}{2}$ and $\cos 60{}^\circ =\dfrac{1}{2},\,\cos 30{}^\circ =\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Then,

\[\sin {{60}^{\circ }}\cos {{30}^{\circ }}+\sin {{30}^{\circ }}\cos {{60}^{\circ }}\]

\[=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\times \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{2}\]

\[=\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}\]

\[=\dfrac{4}{4}=1\]

\[\therefore \sin {{60}^{\circ }}\cos {{30}^{\circ }}+\sin {{30}^{\circ }}\cos {{60}^{\circ }}=1\]

ii. \[2{{\tan }^{2}}{{45}^{\circ }}+{{\cos }^{2}}{{30}^{\circ }}-{{\sin }^{2}}{{60}^{\circ }}\]

Ans:

Given: \[2{{\tan }^{2}}{{45}^{\circ }}+{{\cos }^{2}}{{30}^{\circ }}-{{\sin }^{2}}{{60}^{\circ }}\]

We know that, $\tan 45{}^\circ =1$, $\sin 60{}^\circ =\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ and $\cos 30{}^\circ =\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Then, \[2{{\tan }^{2}}{{45}^{\circ }}+{{\cos }^{2}}{{30}^{\circ }}-{{\sin }^{2}}{{60}^{\circ }}\]

\[=2{{(1)}^{2}}+{{\left( \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right)}^{2}}-{{\left( \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right)}^{2}}\]

\[=2+\dfrac{3}{4}-\dfrac{3}{4}=2\]

$\therefore 2{{\tan }^{2}}{{45}^{\circ }}+{{\cos }^{2}}{{30}^{\circ }}-{{\sin }^{2}}{{60}^{\circ }}=2$

iii. \[\dfrac{\cos {{45}^{\circ }}}{\sec {{30}^{\circ }}+\cos ec{{30}^{\circ }}}\]

Ans:

Given: \[\dfrac{\cos {{45}^{\circ }}}{\sec {{30}^{\circ }}+\cos ec{{30}^{\circ }}}\]

We know that, $\cos 45{}^\circ =\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}},\,\sec 30{}^\circ =\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$ and $\operatorname{cosec}30{}^\circ =2$

\[=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}{\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}}+2}\]

\[=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}{\dfrac{2+2\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}}\]

\[=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\times \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2+2\sqrt{3}}\]

\[=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}\times 2(\sqrt{3}+1)}\]

\[=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}\times 2(\sqrt{3}+1)}\times \dfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{3}-1}\]

\[=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}\left( \sqrt{3}-1 \right)}{\sqrt{2}\times 2(3-1)}\]

\[=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}(\sqrt{3}-1)}{4\sqrt{2}}\times \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}\]\[\]

\[=\dfrac{3\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{6}}{8}\]

$\therefore \dfrac{\cos {{45}^{\circ }}}{\sec {{30}^{\circ }}+\cos ec{{30}^{\circ }}}=\dfrac{3\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{6}}{8}$

(iv) \[\dfrac{\sin {{30}^{\circ }}+\tan {{45}^{\circ }}-\cos ec{{60}^{\circ }}}{\sec {{30}^{\circ }}+\cos {{60}^{\circ }}+\cot {{45}^{\circ }}}\]

Ans:

Given: \[\dfrac{\sin {{30}^{\circ }}+\tan {{45}^{\circ }}-\cos ec{{60}^{\circ }}}{\sec {{30}^{\circ }}+\cos {{60}^{\circ }}+\cot {{45}^{\circ }}}\]

We know that,  $\sin 30{}^\circ =\dfrac{1}{2},\,\tan 45{}^\circ =1,\,\operatorname{cosec}60{}^\circ =\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}},\,\sec 30{}^\circ =\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}},\,\cos 60{}^\circ =\dfrac{1}{2}$ and $\cot 45{}^\circ =1$.

Then, \[\dfrac{\sin {{30}^{\circ }}+\tan {{45}^{\circ }}-\cos ec{{60}^{\circ }}}{\sec {{30}^{\circ }}+\cos {{60}^{\circ }}+\cot {{45}^{\circ }}}\]

$=\dfrac{{1}/{2}\;+1-{2}/{\sqrt{3}}\;}{{2}/{\sqrt{3}}\;+{1}/{2}\;+1}$

\[=\dfrac{\dfrac{\sqrt{3}+2\sqrt{3}-4}{2\sqrt{3}}}{\dfrac{4+\sqrt{3}+2\sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{3}}}\]

\[=\dfrac{3\sqrt{3}-4}{3\sqrt{3}+4}\]

\[=\dfrac{3\sqrt{3}-4}{3\sqrt{3}+4}\times \dfrac{3\sqrt{3}-4}{3\sqrt{3}-4}\]

\[=\dfrac{27+16-24\sqrt{3}}{27-16}\]

\[=\dfrac{43-24\sqrt{3}}{11}\]

$\therefore \dfrac{\sin {{30}^{\circ }}+\tan {{45}^{\circ }}-\cos ec{{60}^{\circ }}}{\sec {{30}^{\circ }}+\cos {{60}^{\circ }}+\cot {{45}^{\circ }}}=\dfrac{43-24\sqrt{3}}{11}$

(v) \[\dfrac{5{{\cos }^{2}}{{60}^{\circ }}+4{{\sin }^{2}}{{30}^{\circ }}-{{\tan }^{2}}{{45}^{\circ }}}{{{\sin }^{2}}{{30}^{\circ }}+{{\cos }^{2}}{{30}^{\circ }}}\]

Ans:

Given: \[\dfrac{5{{\cos }^{2}}{{60}^{\circ }}+4{{\sin }^{2}}{{30}^{\circ }}-{{\tan }^{2}}{{45}^{\circ }}}{{{\sin }^{2}}{{30}^{\circ }}+{{\cos }^{2}}{{30}^{\circ }}}\]. Then,

\[=\dfrac{5{{\left( \dfrac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( \dfrac{3}{\sqrt{3}} \right)}^{2}}-{{(1)}^{2}}}{{{\left( \dfrac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right)}^{2}}}\]

\[=\dfrac{5\times \dfrac{1}{4}+4\times \dfrac{4}{3}-1}{\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{3}{4}}\]

\[=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{12}\times 67}{\dfrac{4}{4}}\]

\[=\dfrac{67}{12}\]

$\therefore \dfrac{5{{\cos }^{2}}{{60}^{\circ }}+4{{\sin }^{2}}{{30}^{\circ }}-{{\tan }^{2}}{{45}^{\circ }}}{{{\sin }^{2}}{{30}^{\circ }}+{{\cos }^{2}}{{30}^{\circ }}}=\dfrac{67}{12}$

8. Prove the Following Identities, Where the Angles Involved are Acute Angles for Which the Expressions are Defined:                                      

(i) ${{(\operatorname{cosec}\theta -\cot \theta )}^{2}}=\dfrac{1-\cos \theta  }{1+\cos \theta }$

Ans:

Given: ${{(\operatorname{cosec}\theta -\cot \theta )}^{2}}=\dfrac{1-\cos \theta }{1+\cos \theta }$

We know that, \[{{(a-b)}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}-2ab\], $\operatorname{cosec}\theta =\dfrac{1}{\sin \theta }$ and $\cot \theta =\dfrac{\cos \theta }{\sin \theta }$

Then, let us take left-hand side

\[\Rightarrow {{(\operatorname{cosec}\theta -\cot \theta )}^{2}}={{\operatorname{cosec}}^{2}}\theta +{{\cot }^{2}}\theta -2\operatorname{cosec}\theta \cot \theta \] 

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }+\dfrac{{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }-2\times \dfrac{1}{\sin \theta }.\dfrac{\cos \theta }{\sin \theta }\Rightarrow \dfrac{1+{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }-\dfrac{2\cos \theta }{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1+{{\cos }^{2}}\theta -2\cos \theta }{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }\Rightarrow \dfrac{{{(1-\cos \theta )}^{2}}}{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{(1-\cos \theta )(1-\cos \theta )}{1-{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }\Rightarrow \dfrac{(1-\cos \theta )(1-\cos \theta )}{(1+\cos \theta )(1-\cos \theta )}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1-\cos \theta }{1+\cos \theta }=\text{R}\text{.H}\text{.S}\]

$\therefore {{(\operatorname{cosec}\theta -\cot \theta )}^{2}}=\dfrac{1-\cos \theta }{1+\cos \theta }$

Hence proved.

(ii) \[\dfrac{\cos A}{1+\sin A}+\dfrac{1+\sin A}{\cos A}=2\sec A\]

Ans:

Given: \[\dfrac{\cos A}{1+\sin A}+\dfrac{1+\sin A}{\cos A}=2\sec A\]

We know that, \[{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{\cos }^{2}}\theta =1\]

Then, let us take left-hand side

\[\dfrac{\cos A}{1+\sin A}+\dfrac{1+\sin A}{\cos A}\Rightarrow \dfrac{{{\cos }^{2}}A+1+{{\sin }^{2}}A+2\sin A}{(1+\sin A)\cos A}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{{{\cos }^{2}}A+{{\sin }^{2}}A+1+2\sin A}{(1+\sin A)\cos A}\]      

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1+1+2\sin A}{(1+\sin A)\cos A}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{2+2\sin A}{(1+\sin A)\cos A}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{2(1+\sin A)}{(1+\sin A)\cos A}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{\cos A}\Rightarrow 2\sec A=\text{R}\text{.H}\text{.S}\]

$\therefore \dfrac{\cos A}{1+\sin A}+\dfrac{1+\sin A}{\cos A}=2\sec A$

Hence proved.

(iii) \[\dfrac{\tan \theta }{1-\cot \theta }+\dfrac{\cot \theta }{1-\tan \theta }=1+\sec \theta \operatorname{cosec}\theta \]

Ans:

Given: \[\dfrac{\tan \theta }{1-\cot \theta }+\dfrac{\cot \theta }{1-\tan \theta }=1+\sec \theta \operatorname{cosec}\theta \]

We know that, \[{{a}^{3}}-{{b}^{3}}=(a-b)({{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+ab)\] and \[{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{\cos }^{2}}\theta =1\]

Then, let us take L.H.S

\[\dfrac{\tan \theta }{1-\cot \theta }+\dfrac{\cot \theta }{1-\tan \theta }=\dfrac{\dfrac{\sin \theta }{\cos \theta }}{1-\dfrac{\cos \theta }{\sin \theta }}+\dfrac{\dfrac{\cos \theta }{\sin \theta }}{1-\dfrac{\sin \theta }{\cos \theta }}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{\sin \theta }{\cos \theta }\times \dfrac{\sin \theta }{\sin \theta -\cos \theta }+\dfrac{\cos \theta }{\sin \theta }\times \dfrac{\cos \theta }{\cos \theta -\sin \theta }\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }{\cos \theta (\sin \theta -\cos \theta )}-\dfrac{{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }{\sin \theta (\sin \theta -\cos \theta )}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{{{\sin }^{3}}\theta -{{\cos }^{3}}\theta }{\sin \theta \cos \theta (\sin \theta -\cos \theta )}\]                     

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1+\sin \theta \cos \theta }{\sin \theta \cos \theta }\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{\sin \theta \cos \theta }+1\]

\[\Rightarrow 1+\dfrac{1}{\sin \theta \cos \theta }\Rightarrow 1+\sec \theta \cos ec\theta \] = R.H.S

$\therefore \dfrac{\tan \theta }{1-\cot \theta }+\dfrac{\cot \theta }{1-\tan \theta }=1+\sec \theta \operatorname{cosec}\theta $

Hence proved.

(iv) \[\dfrac{1+\sec A}{\sec A}=\dfrac{{{\sin }^{2}}A}{1-\cos A}\]

Ans:

Given: \[\dfrac{1+\sec A}{\sec A}=\dfrac{{{\sin }^{2}}A}{1-\cos A}\]

Then, let us take L.H.S 

\[\dfrac{1+\sec A}{\sec A}=\dfrac{1+\dfrac{1}{\cos A}}{\dfrac{1}{\cos A}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{\cos A+1}{\cos A}\times \dfrac{\cos A}{1}\Rightarrow 1+\cos A\]

\[\Rightarrow 1+\cos A\times \dfrac{1-\cos A}{1-\cos A}\Rightarrow \dfrac{1-{{\cos }^{2}}A}{1-\cos A}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{{{\sin }^{2}}A}{1-\cos A}=\text{R}\text{.H}\text{.S}\]

$\therefore \dfrac{1+\sec A}{\sec A}=\dfrac{{{\sin }^{2}}A}{1-\cos A}$

Hence proved.

(v) \[\dfrac{\cos A-\sin A+1}{\cos A+\sin A-1}=\cos ecA+\cot A\], using the identity \[\cos e{{c}^{2}}A=1+{{\cot }^{2}}A\]

Ans:

Given: \[\dfrac{\cos A-\sin A+1}{\cos A+\sin A-1}=\cos ecA+\cot A\]

We know that, \[\cos e{{c}^{2}}A=1+{{\cot }^{2}}A\]

Then, let us take L.H.S 

\[\dfrac{\cos A-\sin A+1}{\cos A+\sin A-1}\]

Dividing all terms by \[\sin A\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{\cot A-1+\cos ecA}{\cot A+1-\cos ecA}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{\cot A+\cos ecA-1}{\cot A-\cos ecA+1}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{(\cot A+\cos ecA)-(\cos e{{c}^{2}}A-{{\cot }^{2}}A)}{(1+\cot A-\cos ecA)}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{(\cot A+\cos ecA)+({{\cot }^{2}}A-\cos e{{c}^{2}}A)}{(1+\cot A-\cos ecA)}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{(\cot A+\cos ecA)(1+\cot A-\cos ecA)}{(1+\cot A-\cos ecA)}\]

\[\Rightarrow \cot A+\cos ecA=\text{R}\text{.H}\text{.S}\]

$\therefore \dfrac{\cos A-\sin A+1}{\cos A+\sin A-1}=\cos ecA+\cot A$

Hence proved.

(vi) \[\sqrt{\dfrac{1+\sin A}{1-\sin A}}=\sec A+\tan A\]

Ans:

Given: \[\sqrt{\dfrac{1+\sin A}{1-\sin A}}=\sec A+\tan A\]

We know that, \[1-{{\sin }^{2}}\theta ={{\cos }^{2}}\theta \] and \[(a+b)(a-b)={{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}\]

Then, let us take L.H.S 

\[\sqrt{\dfrac{1+\sin A}{1-\sin A}}\]

Let us take conjugate of the term. Then,

\[\Rightarrow \sqrt{\dfrac{1+\sin A}{1-\sin A}}\times \sqrt{\dfrac{1+\sin A}{1+\sin A}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sqrt{\dfrac{{{(1+\sin A)}^{2}}}{1-{{\sin }^{2}}A}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sqrt{\dfrac{{{\left( 1+\sin A \right)}^{2}}}{{{\operatorname{Cos}}^{2}}A}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1+\sin A}{\cos A}\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{\cos A}+\dfrac{\sin A}{\cos A}\]                           

\[\Rightarrow \sec A+\tan A=\text{R}\text{.H}\text{.S}\]           

$\therefore \sqrt{\dfrac{1+\sin A}{1-\sin A}}=\sec A+\tan A$       

Hence proved.        

(vii) \[\dfrac{\sin \theta -2{{\sin }^{3}}\theta }{2{{\cos }^{3}}\theta -\cos \theta }=\tan \theta \]

Ans:

Given: \[\dfrac{\sin \theta -2{{\sin }^{3}}\theta }{2{{\cos }^{3}}\theta -\cos \theta }=\tan \theta \]

We know that, \[1-{{\sin }^{2}}\theta ={{\cos }^{2}}\theta \]

Then, let us take L.H.S

\[\dfrac{\sin \theta -2{{\sin }^{3}}\theta }{2{{\cos }^{3}}\theta -\cos \theta }=\dfrac{\sin \theta (1-2{{\sin }^{2}}\theta )}{\cos \theta (2{{\cos }^{2}}\theta -1)}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{\sin \theta (1-2{{\sin }^{2}}\theta )}{\cos \theta \left[ 2(1-{{\sin }^{2}}\theta )-1 \right]}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{\sin \theta (1-2{{\sin }^{2}}\theta )}{\cos \theta (2-2{{\sin }^{2}}\theta -1)}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{\sin \theta (1-2{{\operatorname{Sin}}^{2}}\theta )}{\cos \theta (1-2{{\operatorname{Sin}}^{2}}\theta )}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{\sin \theta }{\cos \theta }=\tan \theta =\text{R}\text{.H}\text{.S}\]

$\therefore \dfrac{\sin \theta -2{{\sin }^{3}}\theta }{2{{\cos }^{3}}\theta -\cos \theta }=\tan \theta $

Hence proved.

(viii) \[{{(\sin A+\cos ecA)}^{2}}+{{(\cos A+\sec A)}^{2}}=7+{{\tan }^{2}}A+{{\cot }^{2}}A\]

Ans:

Given: \[{{(\sin A+\cos ecA)}^{2}}+{{(\cos A+\sec A)}^{2}}=7+{{\tan }^{2}}A+{{\cot }^{2}}A\]

We know that, \[\cos e{{c}^{2}}\theta =1+{{\cot }^{2}}\theta \] and \[{{\sec }^{2}}\theta =1+{{\tan }^{2}}\theta \]

Then, let us take L.H.S 

\[{{(\sin A+\cos ecA)}^{2}}+{{(\cos A+\sec A)}^{2}}={{\left( \sin A+\dfrac{1}{\sin A} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( \cos A+\dfrac{1}{\cos A} \right)}^{2}}\]

\[={{\sin }^{2}}A+\dfrac{1}{{{\sin }^{2}}A}+2\sin A.\dfrac{1}{\sin A}+{{\cos }^{2}}A+\dfrac{1}{{{\cos }^{2}}A}+2\cos A.\dfrac{1}{\cos A}\]

\[=2+2+{{\sin }^{2}}A+{{\cos }^{2}}A+\dfrac{1}{{{\sin }^{2}}A}+\dfrac{1}{{{\cos }^{2}}A}\]

\[=4+1+\dfrac{1}{{{\sin }^{2}}A}+\dfrac{1}{{{\cos }^{2}}A}\]

\[=5+\cos e{{c}^{2}}A+{{\sec }^{2}}A\]

\[=5+1+{{\cot }^{2}}A+1+{{\tan }^{2}}A\]

\[=7+{{\tan }^{2}}A+{{\cot }^{2}}A=\text{R}\text{.H}\text{.S}\]

$\therefore {{(\sin A+\cos ecA)}^{2}}+{{(\cos A+\sec A)}^{2}}=7+{{\tan }^{2}}A+{{\cot }^{2}}A$

Hence proved.

(ix) \[(\cos ecA-\sin A)(\sec A-\cos A)=\dfrac{1}{\tan A+\cot A}\]

Ans:

Given: \[(\cos ecA-\sin A)(\sec A-\cos A)=\dfrac{1}{\tan A+\cot A}\]

We know that, \[{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{\cos }^{2}}\theta =1\]

Then, let us take L.H.S 

\[(\cos ecA-\sin A)(\sec A-\cos A)=\left( \dfrac{1}{\sin A}-\sin A \right)\left( \dfrac{1}{\cos A}-\cos A \right)\]

\[=\left( \dfrac{1-{{\sin }^{2}}A}{\sin A} \right)\left( \dfrac{1-{{\cos }^{2}}A}{\cos A} \right)\]

\[=\dfrac{{{\cos }^{2}}A}{\sin A}\times \dfrac{{{\sin }^{2}}A}{\cos A}\]

\[=\sin A.\cos A\]

\[=\dfrac{\sin A.\cos A}{{{\sin }^{2}}A+{{\cos }^{2}}A}\]

Dividing all the terms by \[\sin A.\cos A\]

\[=\dfrac{\dfrac{\sin A.\cos A}{\sin A.\cos A}}{\dfrac{{{\sin }^{2}}A}{\sin A.\cos A}+\dfrac{{{\cos }^{2}}A}{\sin A.\cos A}}\]

\[=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{\sin A}{\cos A}+\dfrac{\cos A}{\sin A}}\]

\[=\dfrac{1}{\tan A+\cot A}=\text{R}\text{.H}\text{.S}\]

$\therefore (\cos ecA-\sin A)(\sec A-\cos A)=\dfrac{1}{\tan A+\cot A}$

Hence proved.

(x) \[\left( \dfrac{1+{{\tan }^{2}}A}{1+{{\cot }^{2}}A} \right)={{\left( \dfrac{1-\tan A}{1-\cot A} \right)}^{2}}={{\tan }^{2}}A\]

Ans:

Given: \[\left( \dfrac{1+{{\tan }^{2}}A}{1+{{\cot }^{2}}A} \right)={{\left( \dfrac{1-\tan A}{1-\cot A} \right)}^{2}}={{\tan }^{2}}A\]

We know that, \[1+{{\tan }^{2}}\theta ={{\sec }^{2}}\theta \] and \[1+{{\cot }^{2}}\theta =\cos e{{c}^{2}}A\]

Then, let us take L.H.S

\[\left( \dfrac{1+{{\tan }^{2}}A}{1+{{\cot }^{2}}A} \right)=\dfrac{{{\sec }^{2}}A}{\cos e{{c}^{2}}A}\]

\[=\dfrac{1}{{{\cos }^{2}}A}\times \dfrac{{{\sin }^{2}}A}{1}\]

\[={{\tan }^{2}}A=\text{R}\text{.H}\text{.S}\]

Now, prove the Middle side 

\[{{\left( \dfrac{1-\tan A}{1-\cot A} \right)}^{2}}={{\left( \dfrac{1-\tan A}{1-\dfrac{1}{\tan A}} \right)}^{2}}\]

\[={{\left( \dfrac{1-\tan A}{\dfrac{\tan A-1}{\tan A}} \right)}^{2}}\]

\[=\left( \dfrac{1-\tan A}{\dfrac{-(1-\tan A)}{\tan A}} \right)\]

\[={{(-\tan A)}^{2}}\]

\[={{\tan }^{2}}A=\text{R}\text{.H}\text{.S}\]

$\therefore \left( \dfrac{1+{{\tan }^{2}}A}{1+{{\cot }^{2}}A} \right)={{\left( \dfrac{1-\tan A}{1-\cot A} \right)}^{2}}={{\tan }^{2}}A$

Hence proved.
