Trigonometrical Ratios: Mathematical Problems and Solutions

🔸 01. Show that +

Here,

sin2θ (1 + cot2θ)

= sin2θ (cosec2θ) [ ∵ cosec2θ = 1 + cot2θ ]

= [∵ ]

= 1

🔸 02. If , find the value of .+

sec4θ − tan4θ

= (sec2θ + tan2θ) (sec2θ − tan2θ) [ ∵ a2 − b2 = (a − b)(a + b)]

= (sec2θ + tan2θ) [∵ sec2θ − tan2θ = 1]

= [∵ ]

🔸 03. Express 1 + 4 cosec2θ cot2θ in the form of a perfect square.+

1 + 4 cosec2θ cot2θ

= (cosec2θ − cot2θ)2 + 4 cosec2θ cot2θ [ ∵ cosec2θ − cot2θ = 1]

= cosec4θ + cot4θ − 2 cosec2θ cot2θ + 4 cosec2θ cot2θ

= cosec4θ + cot4θ + 2 cosec2θ cot2θ

= (cosec2θ + cot2θ)2

🔸 04. If sin α = x and tan α = y, prove that .+

sin α = x and tan α = y

-------(i) [ ∵ ]

and

-------(ii) [ ∵ ]

Squaring equations (i) and (ii), then subtracting, we get

[ ∵ cosec2α − cot2α = 1]

(Proved)

🔸 05. If , prove that x sin θ = y cos θ.+

[ ∵ Squaring both sides. ]

(x2 + y2) cos2θ = x2

x2 = (x2 + y2) cos2θ

x2 = x2 cos2θ + y2 cos2θ

x2 − x2 cos2θ = y2 cos2θ

x2(1 − cos2θ) = y2 cos2θ [∵ sin2θ + cos2θ = 1]

x2 sin2θ = y2 cos2θ

x sin θ = y cos θ (Proved)

🔸 06. If x = 3 cos θ and y = 3 sin θ, find the value of x2 + y2.+

x = 3 cos θ and y = 3 sin θ

Let,

x = 3 cos θ -------(i)

and

y = 3 sin θ -------(ii)

Squaring equations (i) and (ii), then adding, we get

x2 + y2 = (3 cos θ)2 + (3 sin θ)2

x2 + y2 = 9 cos2θ + 9 sin2θ

x2 + y2 = 9 ( sin2θ + cos2θ )

x2 + y2 = 9 × 1 [∵ sin2θ + cos2θ = 1]

x2 + y2 = 9

🔸 07. Find the simplified value of (sin A + cos A)2 + (sin A − cos A)2.+

(sin A + cos A)2 + (sin A − cos A)2

2(sin2A + cos2A) [∵ (a + b)2 + (a − b)2 = 2(a2 + b2)]

2 × 1 [∵ sin2A + cos2A = 1]
