2. If $\frac{2 \sin \alpha}{1+\cos \alpha+\sin \alpha}=y$, then prove that $\frac{1-\cos \alpha+\sin \alpha}{1+\sin \alpha}$ is also equal to $y$.

Show Answer

Solution

Given that, $\frac{2 \sin \alpha}{1+\cos \alpha+\sin \alpha}=y$

$ \begin{aligned} \text { Now, } & \frac{1-\cos \alpha+\sin \alpha}{1+\sin \alpha} \\ & =\frac{(1-\cos \alpha+\sin \alpha)}{(1+\sin \alpha)} \cdot \frac{(1+\cos \alpha+\sin \alpha)}{(1+\cos \alpha+\sin \alpha)} \\ & =\frac{{(1+\sin \alpha)-\cos \alpha}}{(1+\sin \alpha)} \cdot \frac{{(1+\sin \alpha)+\cos \alpha}}{(1+\cos \alpha+\sin \alpha)} \\ & =\frac{(1+\sin \alpha)^{2}-\cos ^{2} \alpha}{(1+\sin \alpha)(1+\sin \alpha+\cos \alpha)} \\ & =\frac{(1+\sin ^{2} \alpha+2 \sin \alpha)-\cos ^{2} \alpha}{(1+\sin \alpha)(1+\sin \alpha+\cos \alpha)} \end{aligned} $

$ \begin{aligned} & =\frac{1+\sin ^{2} \alpha+2 \sin \alpha-1+\sin ^{2} \alpha}{(1+\sin \alpha)(1+\sin \alpha+\cos \alpha)} \\ & =\frac{2 \sin ^{2} \alpha+2 \sin \alpha}{(1+\sin \alpha)(1+\sin \alpha+\cos \alpha)} \\ & =\frac{2 \sin \alpha(1+\sin \alpha)}{(1+\sin \alpha)(1+\sin \alpha+\cos \alpha)} \\ & =\frac{2 \sin \alpha}{1+\sin \alpha+\cos \alpha}=y \end{aligned} $

Hence proved.

3. If $m \sin \theta=n \sin (\theta+2 \alpha)$, then prove that $\tan (\theta+\alpha) \cot \alpha=\frac{m+n}{m-n}$.

Show Answer

Solution

Given that,

$ \begin{aligned} & \text { Given that, } \quad \begin{aligned} m \sin \theta & =n \sin (\theta+2 \alpha) \\ \therefore & \frac{\sin (\theta+2 \alpha)}{\sin \theta}=\frac{m}{n} \end{aligned} \end{aligned} $

Using componendo and dividendo, we get

$ \begin{aligned} \frac{\sin (\theta+2 \alpha)+\sin \theta}{\sin (\theta+2 \alpha)-\sin \theta}=\frac{m+n}{m-n} \\ \\ \Rightarrow \quad \frac{2 \sin \frac{\theta+2 \alpha+\theta}{2} \cdot \cos \frac{\theta+2 \alpha-\theta}{2}}{2 \cos \frac{\theta+2 \alpha+\theta}{2} \cdot \sin \frac{\theta+2 \alpha-\theta}{2}}=\frac{m+n}{m-n} \\ \\ \Rightarrow \quad[\because \sin x+\sin y=2 \sin \frac{x+y}{2} \cdot \cos \frac{x-y}{2}.\\ \text { and } .\sin x-\sin y=2 \cos \frac{x+y}{2} \sin \cdot \frac{x-y}{2}] \\ \\ \Rightarrow \quad \frac{\sin (\theta+\alpha) \cdot \cos \alpha}{\cos (\theta+\alpha) \cdot \sin \alpha}=\frac{m+n}{m-n} \\ \\ \tan (\theta+\alpha) \cdot \cot \alpha =\frac{m+n}{m-n} \quad \text { Hence proved. } \end{aligned} $

4. If $\cos (\alpha+\beta)=\frac{4}{5}$ and $\sin (\alpha-\beta)=\frac{5}{13}$, where $\alpha$ lie between 0 and $\frac{\pi}{4}$, then find that value of $\tan 2 \alpha$.

Show Answer

Solution

Given that,

$ \cos (\alpha+\beta)=\frac{4}{5} \text { and } \sin (\alpha-\beta)=\frac{5}{13} $

$\Rightarrow \sin (\alpha+\beta)=\sqrt{1-\frac{16}{25}}=\sqrt{\frac{9}{25}}= \pm \frac{3}{5}$

$\therefore \sin (\alpha+\beta)=\frac{3}{5}$

$\text { and } \cos (\alpha-\beta)=\sqrt{1-\frac{25}{169}}=\sqrt{\frac{144}{169}}= \pm \frac{12}{13}$

$\therefore \cos (\alpha-\beta)=\frac{12}{13}$

$\text { Now, } \quad \tan (\alpha+\beta)=\frac{\sin (\alpha+\beta)}{\cos (\alpha+\beta)} $

$[\text { since, } \alpha\text { lies between } 0 \text { and } \frac{\pi}{4}]$

$ \quad =\frac{\frac{3}{5}}{\frac{4}{5}}=\frac{3}{4}$

$ \text { and } \quad \tan (\alpha-\beta) =\frac{\sin (\alpha-\beta)}{\cos (\alpha-\beta)}=\frac{\frac{5}{13}}{\frac{12}{13}}=\frac{5}{12} $

$ \therefore \quad \tan 2 \alpha =\tan (\alpha+\beta+\alpha-\beta)$

$ \qquad =\frac{\tan (\alpha+\beta)+\tan (\alpha-\beta)}{1-\tan (\alpha+\beta) \cdot \tan (\alpha-\beta)} \quad [ \because \tan (x \pm y)=\frac{\tan x \pm \tan y}{1 \mp \tan x \cdot \tan y} ]$

$ \qquad =\frac{\frac{3}{4}+\frac{5}{12}}{1-\frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{5}{12}}=\frac{\frac{9+5}{12}}{\frac{16-5}{16}}=\frac{14 \times 16}{12 \times 11}=\frac{56}{33} $

5. If $\tan x=\frac{b}{a}$, then find the value of $\sqrt{\frac{a+b}{a-b}}+\sqrt{\frac{a-b}{a+b}}$.

Thinking Process

First of all rationalise the given expression and used the formula, i.e., $\cos 2 x=\cos ^{2} x-\sin ^{2} x$.

Show Answer

Solution

Given that, $\quad \tan x=\frac{b}{a}$

$ \therefore \quad \sqrt{\frac{a+b}{a-b}}+\sqrt{\frac{a-b}{a+b}} =\frac{\sqrt{(a+b)^{2}}+\sqrt{(a-b)^{2}}}{\sqrt{(a-b)(a+b)}} $

$=\frac{(a+b)+(a-b)}{\sqrt{a^{2}-b^{2}}}=\frac{2 a}{\sqrt{a^{2}-b^{2}}}=\frac{2 a}{a \sqrt{1-\frac{b}{a}}} \quad [\because \frac{b}{a}=\tan ]$

$=\frac{2}{\sqrt{1-\tan ^{2} x}}=\frac{2 \cos x}{\sqrt{\cos ^{2} x-\sin ^{2} x}} \quad [\because \cos 2 x=\cos ^{2} x-\sin ^{2} x] x $

$ \quad =\frac{2 \cos x}{\sqrt{\cos 2 x}} $

6. Prove that $\cos \theta \cos \frac{\theta}{2}-\cos 3 \theta \cos \frac{9 \theta}{2}=\sin 7 \theta \sin 8 \theta$.

Show Answer

Solution

LHS $=\cos \theta \cos \frac{\theta}{2}-\cos 3 \theta \cos \frac{9 \theta}{2}$

$ \begin{aligned} & =\frac{1}{2} 2 \cos \theta \cdot \cos \frac{\theta}{2}-2 \cos 3 \theta \cdot \cos \frac{9 \theta}{2} \\ \\ & =\frac{1}{2} \cos \theta+\frac{\theta}{2}+\cos \theta-\frac{\theta}{2}-\cos 3 \theta+\frac{9 \theta}{2}-\cos 3 \theta-\frac{9 \theta}{2} \\ \\ & =\frac{1}{2}(\cos \frac{3 \theta}{2}+\cos \frac{\theta}{2}-\cos \frac{15 \theta}{2}-\cos \frac{3 \theta}{2}. \\ \\ & =\frac{1}{2} \cos \frac{\theta}{2}-\cos \frac{15 \theta}{2} \end{aligned} $

$ =-\frac{1}{2} 2 \sin \frac{\theta+15 \theta}{2} \cdot \sin \frac{\theta-15 \theta}{2} $

$[\because \cos x-\cos y=-2 \sin \frac{x+y}{2} \cdot \sin \frac{x-y}{2}] $

$ =+(\sin 8 \theta \cdot \sin 7 \theta)=RHS $

$ \therefore \quad \text { LHS }=\text { RHS }$

Hence Proved

7. If $a \cos \theta+b \sin \theta=m$ and $a \sin \theta-b \cos \theta=n$, then show that $a^{2}+b^{2}=m^{2}+n^{2}$.

Show Answer

Solution

Given that,

and

$a \cos \theta+b \sin \theta=m \qquad ..(i)$

$a \sin \theta-b \cos \theta=n \qquad ..(ii)$

On squaring and adding of Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

$ m^{2}+n^{2}=(a \cos \theta+b \sin \theta)^{2}+(a \sin \theta-b \cos \theta)^{2} $

$= a^{2} \cos ^{2} \theta+b^{2} \sin ^{2} \theta+2 a b \sin \theta \cdot \cos \theta+a^{2} \sin ^{2} \theta+b^{2} \cos ^{2} \theta $

$\Rightarrow \quad m^{2}+n^{2}=a^{2}(\cos ^{2} \theta+\sin ^{2} \theta)+b^{2}(\sin ^{2} \theta+\cos ^{2} \theta) -2 a b \sin \theta \cdot \cos \theta $

$\Rightarrow \quad m^{2}+n^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2} \quad \text { Hence proved. } $

8. Find the value of $\tan 22^{\circ} 30^{\prime}$.

Show Answer

Solution

Let

$\text { Let }\theta =45^{\circ} $

$\text { We know that, } \quad \tan \frac{\theta}{2} =\frac{\sin \frac{\theta}{2}}{\cos \frac{\theta}{2}}=\frac{2 \sin \frac{\theta}{2} \cdot \cos \frac{\theta}{2}}{2 \cos ^{2} \frac{\theta}{2}} \Rightarrow \tan \frac{\theta}{2}=\frac{\sin \theta}{1+\cos \theta} $

$\therefore \quad \tan 22^{\circ} 30^{\prime} =\frac{\sin 45^{\circ}}{1+\cos 45^{\circ}} \quad[\because \theta=45^{\circ}]$

$ =\frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}{1+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}+1} $

9. Prove that $\sin 4 A=4 \sin A \cos ^{3} A-4 \cos A \sin ^{3} A$.

Thinking Process

Here, apply the formula i.e., $\sin 2 x=2 \sin x \cos x$ and $\cos 2 x=\cos ^{2} x-\sin ^{2} x$

Show Answer

Solution

$ LHS =\sin 4 A $

$ =2 \sin 2 A \cdot \cos 2 A $

$ =2(2 \sin A \cdot \cos A)(\cos ^{2} A-\sin ^{2} A) $

$ =4 \sin A \cdot \cos ^{3} A-4 \cos A \sin ^{3} A $

$[\because \cos 2 A=\cos ^{2} A-\sin ^{2} A \quad \text { and } \sin 2 A=2 \sin A \cdot \cos A]$

$\therefore LHS = RHS \quad \text{Hence Proved}$

10. If $\tan \theta+\sin \theta=m$ and $\tan \theta-\sin \theta=n$, then prove that $m^{2}-n^{2}=4 \sin \theta \tan \theta$.

Show Answer

Solution

Now,

Also, Given that,

$\quad \tan \theta+\sin \theta =m \qquad ..(i) $

$\qquad \text {and} \quad \tan \theta-\sin \theta =n \qquad ..(ii)$

$\qquad \text {Now} \quad m+n =\tan \theta+\sin \theta+\tan \theta-\sin \theta $

$\qquad m+n =2 \tan \theta \qquad …(iii) $

$\text {also} \qquad m-n =\tan \theta+\sin \theta-\tan \theta+\sin \theta $

$ m-n =2 \sin \theta \quad …(iv) $

From Eqs. (iii) and (iv),

$ \begin{aligned} (m+n)(m-n) & =4 \sin \theta \cdot \tan \theta \\ m^{2}-n^{2} & =4 \sin \theta \cdot \tan \theta \qquad \text{Hence Proved} \end{aligned} $

11. If $\tan (A+B)=p$ and $\tan (A-B)=q$, then show that $\tan 2 A=\frac{p+q}{1-p q}$.

Show Answer

Solution

Given that $ \quad \tan (A+B)=p \qquad ..(i)$

and $\quad \tan (A-B)=q \qquad ..(ii)$

$\therefore \quad \tan 2 A=\tan (A+B+A-B)$

$=\frac{\tan (A+B)+\tan (A-B)}{1-\tan (A+B) \tan (A-B)} \quad[ \because \tan (x+y)=\frac{\tan x+\tan y}{1-\tan x \tan y}]$

$=\frac{p+q}{1-p q} $ $\qquad$ [from Eqs. (i) and (ii)]

12. If $\cos \alpha+\cos \beta=0=\sin \alpha+\sin \beta$, then prove that $\cos 2 \alpha+\cos 2 \beta=-2 \cos (\alpha+\beta)$.

Show Answer

Solution

Given that, $\quad \cos \alpha+\cos \beta=0=\sin \alpha+\sin \beta$

$\Rightarrow \quad(\cos \alpha+\cos \beta)^{2}-(\sin \alpha+\sin \beta)^{2}=0$

$\Rightarrow \quad \cos ^{2} \alpha+\cos ^{2} \beta+2 \cos \alpha \cos \beta-\sin ^{2} \alpha-\sin ^{2} \beta-2 \sin \alpha \sin \beta=0$

$\Rightarrow \quad \cos ^{2} \alpha-\sin ^{2} \alpha+\cos ^{2} \beta-\sin ^{2} \beta=2(\sin \alpha \sin \beta-\cos \alpha \cos \beta)$

$\Rightarrow \quad \cos 2 \alpha+\cos 2 \beta=-2 \cos (\alpha+\beta)$

Hence proved.

13. If $\frac{\sin (x+y)}{\sin (x-y)}=\frac{a+b}{a-b}$, then show that $\frac{\tan x}{\tan y}=\frac{a}{b}$.

Show Answer

Solution

Given that, $\frac{\sin (x+y)}{\sin (x-y)}=\frac{a+b}{a-b}$

Using componendo and dividendo,

$ \Rightarrow =\frac{\sin (x+y)+[\sin (x-y)]}{\sin (x+y)-\sin (x-y)}=\frac{a+b+a-b}{a+b-a+b} $

$\Rightarrow =\frac{2 \sin \frac{x+y+x-y}{2} \cdot \cos \frac{x+y-x+y}{2}}{2 \cos \frac{x+y+x-y}{2} \cdot \sin \frac{x+y-x+y}{2}}=\frac{2 a}{2 b}$

$[ \because \sin x+\sin y=2 \sin \frac{x+y}{2} \cdot \cos \frac{x-y}{2} \text { and } \sin x-\sin y=2 \cos \frac{x+y}{2} \cdot \sin \frac{x-y}{2}] $

$\Rightarrow =\frac{\sin x \cdot \cos y}{\cos x \cdot \sin y}=\frac{a}{b} $

$ \frac{\tan x}{\tan y}=\frac{a}{b} $

14. If $\tan \theta=\frac{\sin \alpha-\cos \alpha}{\sin \alpha+\cos \alpha}$, then show that $\sin \alpha+\cos \alpha=\sqrt{2} \cos \theta$.

Show Answer

Solution

Given that, $\quad \tan \theta=\frac{\sin \alpha-\cos \alpha}{\sin \alpha+\cos \alpha}$

$ \begin{matrix} \Rightarrow \qquad \tan \theta=\frac{\cos \alpha(\tan \alpha-1)}{\cos \alpha(\tan \alpha+1)} & \\ \\ \Rightarrow \quad \tan \theta=\frac{\tan \alpha-\tan \frac{\pi}{4}}{1+\tan \frac{\pi}{4} \cdot \tan \alpha} & [\because \tan \frac{\pi}{4}=1] \end{matrix} $

Trigonometric Functions

$ \Rightarrow \quad \tan \theta=\tan (\alpha-\frac{\pi}{4}) $

$\Rightarrow \quad \theta=\alpha-\frac{\pi}{4} \Rightarrow \alpha=\theta+\frac{\pi}{4} $

$\therefore \quad \sin \alpha+\cos \alpha=\sin (\theta+\frac{\pi}{4})+\cos (\theta+\frac{\pi}{4})$

$=\sin \theta \cdot \cos \frac{\pi}{4}+\cos \theta \cdot \sin \frac{\pi}{4}+\cos \theta \cdot \cos \frac{\pi}{4}-\sin \theta \cdot \sin \frac{\pi}{4} $

$=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \sin \theta+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cos \theta+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cos \theta-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \sin \theta \quad [\because \sin \frac{\pi}{4}=\cos \frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}]$

$ =\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \cos \theta=\sqrt{2} \cos \theta $

15. If $\sin \theta+\cos \theta=1$, then find the general value of $\theta$.

Thinking Process

If $\sin \theta=\sin \alpha$, then $\theta=n \pi+(-1)^{n} \cdot \alpha$, gives general solution of the given equation.

Show Answer

Solution

Given that, $\sin \theta+\cos \theta=1$

On squaring both sides, we get

$ \sin ^{2} \theta+\cos ^{2} \theta+2 \sin \theta \cdot \cos \theta =1 $

$\Rightarrow \qquad 1+2 \sin \theta \cdot \cos =1 \quad [\because \sin 2 x=2 \sin x \cos x] $

$\Rightarrow \qquad \sin 2 \theta =0 2 \theta=n \pi+(-1)^{n} \cdot 0 $

$ \therefore \qquad \theta =\frac{n \pi}{2}$

Alternate Method

$ \sin \theta+\cos \theta=1 $

$ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \sin \theta+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \cos \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} $

$\Rightarrow \sin \theta \cdot \cos \frac{\pi}{4}+\cos \theta \cdot \sin \frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \qquad \because \sin \frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\cos \frac{\pi}{4} $

$ \Rightarrow \quad \sin \theta+\frac{\pi}{4}=\sin \frac{\pi}{4} \qquad[\because \sin (x+y)=\sin x \cdot \cos y+\cos x \cdot \sin y] $

$ \Rightarrow \quad \theta+\frac{\pi}{4}=n \pi+(-1)^{n} \frac{\pi}{4} $

$ \therefore \quad \quad \theta=n \pi+(-1)^{n} \frac{4}{4}-\frac{\pi}{4} $

16. Find the most general value of $\theta$ satisfying the equation $\tan \theta=-1$ and $\cos \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$.

Show Answer

Solution

The given equations are

$ \tan \theta=-1 \qquad ..(i) $

$ \text { and } \quad \cos \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \qquad ..(ii) $

$ \text { From Eq. (i), } \quad \tan \theta=-\tan \frac{\pi}{4} $

$ \Rightarrow \quad \tan \theta=\tan( 2 \pi-\frac{\pi}{4}) \quad \Rightarrow \tan \theta=\tan \frac{7 \pi}{4} $

$ \therefore \quad \theta=\frac{7 \pi}{4}$

From Eq. (ii),

$ \Rightarrow \quad \cos \theta=\cos (2 \pi-\frac{\pi}{4}) \Rightarrow \cos \theta=\cos \frac{7 \pi}{4} $

$\therefore \quad \theta=\frac{7 \pi}{4}$

Hence, the most general value of $\theta$ i.e., $\theta=2 n \pi+\frac{7 \pi}{4}$.

17. If $\cot \theta+\tan \theta=2 cosec \theta$, then find the general value of $\theta$.

Show Answer

Solution

Given that,

$ \cot \theta+\tan \theta=2 cosec \theta $

$ \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}+\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}=\frac{2}{\sin \theta} $

$\Rightarrow \frac{\cos ^{2}+\sin ^{2} \theta}{\sin \theta \cdot \cos \theta} =\frac{2}{\sin \theta} $

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\cos \theta} =2 \qquad [\because \sin^{2} \theta + \cos^{2} \theta = 1] $

$\Rightarrow \cos \theta =\frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow \cos \theta=\cos \frac{\pi}{3} $

$\therefore \qquad \theta =2 n \pi \pm \frac{\pi}{3} $

18. If $2 \sin ^{2} \theta=3 \cos \theta$, where $0 \leq \theta \leq 2 \pi$, then find the value of $\theta$.

Show Answer

Solution

Given that,

$\text {Given that ,} \qquad 2 \sin^{2} \theta = 3 \cos \theta $

$ \Rightarrow \qquad 2-2 \cos ^{2} \theta=3 \cos \theta $

$\Rightarrow \qquad 2 \cos ^{2} \theta+3 \cos \theta-=0 $

$\Rightarrow \qquad 2 \cos ^{2} \theta+4 \cos \theta-\cos \theta-2=0 $

$ \Rightarrow \qquad 2 \cos \theta(\cos \theta+2)-1(\cos \theta+2)=0 $

$\Rightarrow \qquad (\cos \theta+2)(2 \cos \theta-1)=0 $

$\Rightarrow \qquad \cos \theta=-2 not possible \qquad [\because -1 \leq \cos \theta \leq 1 ] $

$\Rightarrow \qquad 2 \cos \theta=1 $

$\Rightarrow \qquad \cos \theta=\frac{1}{2} $

$\Rightarrow \qquad \cos \theta=\cos \frac{\pi}{3} $

$\therefore \theta=\frac{\pi}{3} $

$Also, \qquad \cos \theta=\cos(2 \pi -\frac{\pi}{3}) $

$\Rightarrow \qquad \cos \theta =\cos \frac{5 \pi}{6} $

$\therefore \qquad \theta=\frac{5 \pi}{6}$

So, the values of $\theta$ are $\frac{\pi}{3}$ and $\frac{5 \pi}{6}$.

19. If $\sec x \cos 5 x+1=0$, where $0<x \leq \frac{\pi}{2}$, then find the value of $x$.

Show Answer

Solution

Given that, $\quad \sec x \cos 5 x+1=0$

$\frac{\cos 5 x}{\cos x}+1=0 \Rightarrow \cos 5 x+\cos x=0 $

$ \Rightarrow \quad 2 \cos( \frac{5 x+x}{2}) \cdot \cos (\frac{5 x-x}{2})=0$

$\quad [\because \cos x+\cos y=2 \cos \frac{x+y}{2} \cdot \cos \frac{x-y}{2}] $

$ \Rightarrow \quad 2 \cos 3 x \cdot \cos 2 x=0 $

$ \Rightarrow \quad \cos 3 x=0 \text { or } \cos 2 x=0 $

$ \Rightarrow \quad \cos 3 x=\cos \frac{\pi}{2} \text { or } \cos 2 x=\cos \frac{\pi}{2} $

$ \therefore \quad 3 x=\frac{\pi}{2} \Rightarrow 2 x=\frac{\pi}{2} $

$ x=\frac{\pi}{6} \Rightarrow x=\frac{\pi}{4} $

Hence, the solutions are $\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{4}$ and $\frac{\pi}{6}$.

20. If $\sin (\theta+\alpha)=a$ and $\sin (\theta+\beta)=b$, then prove that $\cos (\alpha+\beta)-4 a b \cos (\alpha-\beta)=1-2 a^{2}-2 b^{2}$.

$\because$ Thinking Process

Express $\cos (\alpha-\beta)=\cos (\theta+\alpha)-(\theta+\beta)$

Show Answer

Solution

Given that, $\sin (\theta+\alpha)=a \qquad ..(i)$

and

$\sin (\theta+\beta)=b \qquad ..(ii)$

$\therefore \quad \cos (\theta+\alpha)=\sqrt{1-a^{2}}$ and $\cos (\theta+\beta)=\sqrt{1-b^{2}}$

$\therefore \quad \cos (\alpha-\beta)=\cos {\theta+\alpha-(\theta+\beta)}$

$ =\cos (\theta+\beta) \cos (\theta+\alpha)+\sin (\theta+\alpha) \sin (\theta+\beta) $

$ \begin{aligned} & =\sqrt{1-a^{2}} \sqrt{1-b^{2}}+a \cdot b=a b+\sqrt{(1-a^{2})(1-b^{2})} \\ & =a b+\sqrt{1-a^{2}-b^{2}+a^{2} b^{2}} \end{aligned} $

and

$ \cos (\alpha-\beta) =a b+\sqrt{1-a^{2}-b^{2}+a^{2} b^{2}} $

$ =\cos 2(\alpha-\beta)-4 a b \cos (\alpha-\beta) $

$ =2 \cos ^{2}(\alpha-\beta)-1-4 a b \cos (\alpha-\beta) $

$ =2 \cos (\alpha-\beta)(\cos \alpha-\beta-2 a b)-1 $

$ =2(a b+\sqrt{1-a^{2}-b^{2}+a^{2} b^{2}})(a b+\sqrt{1-a^{2}-b^{2}+a^{2} b^{2}}-2 a b)-1 $

$ =2[(\sqrt{1-a^{2}-b^{2}+a^{2} b^{2}+a b})(\sqrt{1-a^{2}-b^{2}+a^{2} b^{2}}-a b)]-1 $

$ =2[1-a^{2}-b^{2}+a^{2} b^{2}-a^{2} b^{2}]-1 $

$ =2-2 a^{2}-2 b^{2}-1 $

$ =1-2 a^{2}-2 b^{2} \qquad Hence \quad Proved $

21. If $\cos (\theta+\varphi)=m \cos (\theta-\varphi)$, then prove that $\tan \theta=\frac{1-m}{1+m} \cot \varphi$.

Show Answer

Solution

Given that,

$ \begin{aligned} & \cos (\theta+\varphi)=m \cos (\theta-\varphi) \\ &\Rightarrow \qquad \frac{\cos (\theta+\varphi)}{\cos (\theta-\varphi)}=\frac{m}{1} \end{aligned} $

Using componendo and dividendo rule,

$ \frac{\cos (\theta-\varphi)-\cos (\theta+\varphi)}{\cos (\theta-\varphi)+\cos (\theta+\varphi)} =\frac{1-m}{1+m} $

$\Rightarrow \frac{-2 \sin \frac{\theta-\varphi+\theta+\varphi}{2} \cdot \sin \frac{\theta-\varphi-\theta-\varphi}{2}}{2 \cos \frac{\theta-\varphi+\theta+\varphi}{2} \cdot \cos \frac{\theta-\varphi-\theta-\varphi}{2}} =\frac{1-m}{1+m} $

$\Rightarrow \qquad \frac{\sin \theta \cdot \sin \varphi}{\cos \theta \cdot \cos \varphi} =\frac{1-m}{1+m} \qquad [\because \sin(-\theta)= -\sin \theta and \cos (-\theta)=\cos \theta] $

$\Rightarrow \qquad \tan \theta \cdot \tan \varphi =\frac{1-m}{1+m} $

$\Rightarrow \tan \theta = \frac{1-m}{1+m} \cot \varphi $

22. Find the value of the expression

Solution

Given expression,

$ \begin{aligned} 3 [\sin ^{4} & (\frac{3 \pi}{2})-\alpha+\sin ^{4}(3 \pi+\alpha)]-2 [\sin ^{6} \frac{\pi}{2}+\alpha+\sin ^{6}(5 \pi-\alpha)] \\ & =3[\cos ^{4} \alpha+\sin ^{4}(\pi+\alpha)]-2[\cos ^{6} \alpha+\sin ^{6}(\pi-\alpha)] \\ & =3[\cos ^{4} \alpha+\sin ^{4} \alpha]-2[\cos ^{6} \alpha+\sin ^{6} \alpha]=3-2=1 \end{aligned} $

23. If $a \cos 2 \theta+b \sin 2 \theta=c$ has $\alpha$ and $\beta$ as its roots, then prove that $\tan \alpha+\tan \beta=\frac{2 b}{a+c}$.

Show Answer

Solution

Given that, $a \cos 2 \theta+b \sin 2 \theta=c$

$ \Rightarrow \quad a \frac{1-\tan ^{2} \theta}{1+\tan ^{2} \theta}+b \frac{2 \tan \theta}{1+\tan ^{2} \theta}=c \quad $

$[\because \sin 2 \theta=\frac{2 \tan \theta}{1+\tan ^{2} \theta} \text { and } \cos 2 \theta=\frac{1-\tan ^{2} \theta}{1+\tan ^{2} \theta}] $

$ \Rightarrow \quad a(1-\tan ^{2} \theta)+2 b \tan \theta=c(1+\tan ^{2} \theta) $

$ \Rightarrow \quad a-a-\tan ^{2} \theta+2 b \tan \theta=c+c \tan ^{2} \theta $

$ \Rightarrow \quad(a+c) \tan ^{2} \theta-2 b \tan \theta+c-a=0 $

Since, this equation has $\tan \alpha$ and $\tan \beta$ as its roots.

24. If $x=\sec \varphi-\tan \varphi$ and $y=cosec \varphi+\cot \varphi$, then show that $x y+x-y+1=0$.

Show Answer

Solution

Given that, and $x=\sec \varphi-\tan \varphi \qquad ..(i)$

Now,

$y=cosec \varphi+\cot \varphi \qquad ..(ii)$

$\Rightarrow \quad x y=\sec \varphi \cdot cosec \varphi-cosec \varphi \cdot \tan \varphi+\sec \varphi \cdot \cot \varphi-\tan \varphi \cdot \cot \varphi$

$\Rightarrow \quad x y=\sec \varphi \cdot cosec \varphi-\frac{1}{\cos \varphi}+\frac{1}{\sin \varphi}-1$

$\Rightarrow \quad 1+x y=\sec \varphi cosec \varphi-\sec \varphi+cosec \varphi \qquad ..(iii)$

From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

$ x-y=\sec \varphi-\tan \varphi-cosec \varphi-\cot \varphi $

$\Rightarrow \qquad x-y=\sec \varphi-cosec \varphi-\frac{\sin \varphi}{\cos \varphi}-\frac{\cos \varphi}{\sin \varphi} $

$\Rightarrow \qquad x-y=\sec \varphi-cosec \varphi-(\frac{\sin ^{2} \varphi+\cos ^{2} \varphi}{\sin \varphi \cdot \cos \varphi}) $

$ \Rightarrow \qquad x-y=\sec \varphi-cosec \varphi-\frac{1}{\sin \varphi \cdot \cos \varphi} $

$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad x-y=\sec \varphi-cosec \varphi-cosec \varphi \cdot \sec \varphi \\ & \Rightarrow \quad x-y=-(\sec \varphi \cdot cosec \varphi-\sec \varphi+cosec \varphi) \\ & \Rightarrow \quad x-y=-(x y+1) \\ & \Rightarrow \quad x y+x-y+1=0 \quad \text{[from Eq. (iii)] Hence proved.} \end{aligned} $

Show Answer

Solution

Given that,

$ \Rightarrow \qquad \sin \theta=\sqrt{\frac{289-64}{289}}$

$\Rightarrow \qquad \sin \theta= \pm \frac{15}{17} $

$\Rightarrow \quad \sin \theta=\frac{15}{17} \qquad [\text {Since,} \theta \text {lies in first quadrant }] $

$= \qquad \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{1}{2} \cos \theta+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \sin \theta $

$= \qquad \frac{\sqrt{6}+2-\sqrt{2}}{2 \sqrt{2}} \cos \theta+\frac{2-\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{6}}{2 \sqrt{2}} \sin \theta $

$= \qquad \frac{\sqrt{6}+2-\sqrt{2}}{2 \sqrt{2}} \frac{8}{17}+\frac{2-\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{6}}{2 \sqrt{2}} \frac{15}{17} $

$ \begin{aligned} & =\frac{1}{17(2 \sqrt{2})}(8 \sqrt{6}+16-8 \sqrt{2}+30-15 \sqrt{2}+15 \sqrt{6}) \\ & =\frac{1}{17(2 \sqrt{2})}(23 \sqrt{6}-23 \sqrt{2}+46) \\ & =\frac{23 \sqrt{6}}{17(2 \sqrt{2})}-\frac{23 \sqrt{2}}{17(2 \sqrt{2})}+\frac{46}{17(2 \sqrt{2})} \\ & =\frac{23 \sqrt{3}}{17(2)}-\frac{23}{17(2)}+\frac{23}{17 \sqrt{2}} \\ & =\frac{23}{17} \frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \end{aligned} $

29. Find the general solution of the equation

Show Answer

Solution

Given equation is,

$ (\sqrt{3}-1) \cos \theta+(\sqrt{3}+1) \sin \theta=2 \qquad ..(i)$

$ \begin{aligned} & \text { Put } \quad \sqrt{3}-1=r \sin \alpha \quad \text { and } \quad \sqrt{3}+1=r \cos \alpha \\ & \therefore \quad r^{2}=(\sqrt{3}-1)^{2}+(\sqrt{3}+1)^{2} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad=3+1-2 \sqrt{3}+3+1+2 \sqrt{3} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad r^{2}=8 \\ & \therefore \quad r=2 \sqrt{2} \\ & \text { now, } \quad \tan \alpha=\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{3}+1}=\frac{\tan \frac{\pi}{3}-\tan \frac{\pi}{4}}{1+\tan \frac{\pi}{3} \cdot \frac{\pi}{4}} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \tan \alpha=\tan \frac{\pi}{3}-\frac{\pi}{4} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \tan \alpha=\tan \frac{\pi}{12} \\ & \therefore \quad \alpha=\frac{\pi}{12} \end{aligned} $

From Eq. (i), $r \sin \alpha \cos \theta+r \cos \alpha \sin \theta=2$

$ \begin{matrix} \Rightarrow & r[\sin (\theta+\alpha)] =2 \\ & \sin (\theta+\alpha) =\frac{2}{2 \sqrt{2}} \\ \Rightarrow & \sin (\theta+\alpha) =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \\ \Rightarrow & \sin (\theta+\alpha) =\sin \frac{\pi}{4} \theta+\alpha=n \pi+(-1)^{n} \frac{\pi}{4} \\ & \theta =n \pi+(-1)^{n} \cdot \frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{\pi}{12} \end{matrix} $

Alternate Method

$\begin{aligned} (\sqrt{3}-1) \cos \theta+(\sqrt{3}+1) \sin \theta & =2 \\ \text{Put}\quad \sqrt{3}-1 & =r \cos \alpha \text { and } \sqrt{3}+1=r \sin \alpha \\ \therefore \quad r & =2 \sqrt{2} \\ \end{aligned}$

Now,$\quad \tan \alpha=\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{3}-1}=\frac{1+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}{1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}$

$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \tan \alpha=\frac{\tan \frac{\pi}{4}+\tan \frac{\pi}{6}}{1-\tan \frac{\pi}{4} \cdot \tan \frac{\pi}{6}} \\ &\Rightarrow \tan \alpha=\tan \frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\pi}{6} \Rightarrow \tan \alpha=\tan \frac{5 \pi}{12} \end{aligned}$

$\alpha=\frac{5 \pi}{12}$

From Eq. (i), $r \cos \alpha \cos \theta + r \sin \alpha \sin \theta =2$

$\qquad r[\cos(\theta - \alpha)]$

$\Rightarrow \qquad \cos(\theta - \alpha) = \frac{2}{2 \sqrt{2}} $

$\Rightarrow \qquad \cos(\theta - \alpha) = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2}} $

$ \Rightarrow \qquad \cos(\theta - \alpha) = \cos \frac{\pi}{4}$

$\Rightarrow \qquad \theta - \alpha = 2n \pi \pm \frac{\pi}{4}$

$\therefore \qquad \theta = 2n \pi \pm \frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{5 \pi}{12}$

Show Answer

Solution

(c) Given equation,

$\Rightarrow \qquad \tan +\sec x=2 \cos x$

$\Rightarrow \qquad \frac{\sin x}{\cos x}+\frac{1}{\cos x}=2 \cos x$

$ \Rightarrow \qquad 1+\sin x=2 \cos ^{2} x$

$1+\sin x=2(1-\sin ^{2} x)$

$\Rightarrow \quad 1+\sin x=2-2 \sin ^{2} x$

$\Rightarrow \quad 2 \sin ^{2} x+\sin x-1=0$

$\Rightarrow \quad 2 \sin ^{2} x+2 \sin x-\sin x-1=0$

$\Rightarrow \quad 2 \sin x(\sin x+1)-1(\sin x+1)=0$

$\Rightarrow \quad(\sin x+1)(2 \sin x-1)=0$

$\Rightarrow \quad \sin x+1=0$ or $(2 \sin x-1)=0$

$\Rightarrow \quad \sin x=-1, \sin x=\frac{1}{2}$

$\therefore \quad x=\frac{3 \pi}{2}, x=\frac{\pi}{6}$

$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \sin x+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \cos x=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

$\Rightarrow \quad \sin \frac{\pi}{4} \sin x+\cos x \cos \frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

$\Rightarrow \quad \cos( x-\frac{\pi}{4})=\cos \frac{\pi}{4}$

$ \therefore \quad x-\frac{\pi}{4}=2 n \pi \pm \frac{\pi}{4} $

$ \begin{aligned} \text{For positive sign,} & x=2 n \pi+\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\pi}{4}=2 n \pi+\frac{\pi}{2} \\ \text{For negative sign,} & x=2 n \pi-\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\pi}{4}=2 n \pi \end{aligned} $

74. If $\tan \theta+\tan 2 \theta+\sqrt{3} \tan \theta \tan 2 \theta=\sqrt{3}$, then $\theta=\frac{n \pi}{3}+\frac{\pi}{9}$.

Show Answer

Solution

True

$ \begin{aligned} & \tan \theta+\tan 2 \theta+\sqrt{3} \tan \theta \tan 2 \theta=\sqrt{3} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \tan \theta+\tan 2 \theta=\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{3} \tan \theta \tan 2 \theta \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \tan \theta+\tan 2 \theta=\sqrt{3}(1-\tan \theta \tan 2 \theta) \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{\tan \theta+\tan 2 \theta}{1-\tan \theta \tan 2 \theta}=\sqrt{3} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \tan (\theta+2 \theta)=\tan \frac{\pi}{3} \Rightarrow \tan 3 \theta=\tan \frac{\pi}{3} \\ & \therefore \quad 3 \theta=n \pi+\frac{\pi}{3} \\ & \theta=\frac{n \pi}{3}+\frac{\pi}{9} \end{aligned} $

75. If $\tan (\pi \cos \theta)=\cot (\pi \sin \theta)$, then $\cos \theta-\frac{\pi}{4}= \pm \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}}$.

Thinking Process

Use the formulae i.e., $\tan \frac{\pi}{2}-\theta=\cot \theta$ and $\cos (A-B)=\cos A \cos B+\sin A \sin B$.

Show Answer

Solution

True

$ \text{We have,} \qquad \tan (\pi \cos \theta)=\cot (\pi \sin \theta) $

$ \Rightarrow \qquad \tan (\pi \cos \theta)=\tan \frac{\pi}{2}-(\pi \sin \theta) $

$\Rightarrow \qquad \pi \cos =\frac{\pi}{2}-\pi \sin \theta$

$\Rightarrow \quad \pi(\sin \theta+\cos \theta)=\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\Rightarrow \quad \sin \theta+\cos \theta=\frac{1}{2}$

$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \sin \theta+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \cos \theta=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}}$

$\Rightarrow \quad \sin \theta \cdot \sin \frac{\pi}{4}+\cos \theta \cdot \cos \frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}}$

$\therefore \quad \cos \theta-\frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}}$

76. In the following match each item given under the Column I to its correct answer given under the Column II.

Column I Column II
(i) $\sin (x+y) \sin (x-y)$ (a) $\cos ^{2} x-\sin ^{2} y$
(ii) $\cos (x+y) \cos (x-y)$ (b) $1-\tan \theta / 1+\tan \theta$
(iii) $\cot (\frac{\pi}{4}+\theta)$ (c) $1+\tan \theta / 1-\tan \theta$
(iv) $\tan (\frac{\pi}{4}+\theta)$ (d) $\sin ^{2} x-\sin ^{2} y$
Show Answer

Solution

(i) $\sin (x+y) \sin (x-y)=\sin ^{2} x-\sin ^{2} y$

(ii) $\cos (x+y) \cos (x-y)=\cos ^{2} x-\sin ^{2} y$

(iii) $\cot \frac{\pi}{4}+\theta=\frac{\cot \frac{\pi}{4} \cot \theta-1}{\cot \frac{\pi}{4}+\cot \theta}$

$=\frac{-1+\cot \theta}{1+\cot \theta}=\frac{1-\tan \theta}{1+\tan \theta}$

(iv) $\tan \frac{\pi}{4}+\theta=\frac{\tan \frac{\pi}{4}+\tan \theta}{1-\tan \frac{\pi}{4} \tan \theta}=\frac{1+\tan \theta}{1-\tan \theta}$

Hence, the correct mathes are (i) $\rarr$ (d), (ii) $\rarr$ (a), (iii) $\rarr$ (b), (iv) $\rarr$ (c).
