Q1EXERCISE 3.1
Find the radian measures corresponding to the following degree measures:
(i)
25°
(ii)
-47° 30'
(iii)
240°
(iv)
520°
Solution
We know that 180° = π radian. Therefore, to convert degrees to radians, we multiply the degree measure by π/180.
(i) 25°
Radian measure = 25 × (π/180) = 5π/36
(ii) -47° 30'
First, we convert 30' to degrees. Since 60' = 1°, 30' = (30/60)° = 0.5°.
So, -47° 30' = -(47 + 0.5)° = -47.5° = -95/2 degrees.
Radian measure = (-95/2) × (π/180) = -19π/72
(iii) 240°
Radian measure = 240 × (π/180) = 4π/3
(iv) 520°
Radian measure = 520 × (π/180) = 26π/9
Q2EXERCISE 3.1
Find the degree measures corresponding to the following radian measures (Use π = 22/7).
(i)
11/16
(ii)
-4
(iii)
5π/3
(iv)
7π/6
Solution
We know that π radian = 180°. Therefore, to convert radians to degrees, we multiply the radian measure by 180/π.
(i) 11/16
Degree measure = (11/16) × (180/π) = (11/16) × (180 × 7 / 22)
= (1/16) × (180 × 7 / 2) = (90 × 7) / 16 = (45 × 7) / 8 = 315/8 degrees.
315/8° = 39 3/8° = 39° + (3/8) × 60' = 39° + 45/2' = 39° + 22 1/2' = 39° + 22' + (1/2) × 60'' = 39° 22' 30''.
Degree measure = 39° 22' 30''
(ii) -4
Degree measure = -4 × (180/π) = -4 × (180 × 7 / 22) = -4 × (90 × 7 / 11) = -2520/11 degrees.
-2520/11° = -229 1/11° = - (229° + (1/11) × 60') = - (229° + 5 5/11') = - (229° + 5' + (5/11) × 60'')
= - (229° 5' 27.27'') ≈ -229° 5' 27'' (approximately).
Degree measure = -229° 5' 27'' (approximately)
(iii) 5π/3
Degree measure = (5π/3) × (180/π) = 5 × 60 = 300°
(iv) 7π/6
Degree measure = (7π/6) × (180/π) = 7 × 30 = 210°
Q3EXERCISE 3.1
A wheel makes 360 revolutions in one minute. Through how many radians does it turn in one second?
Solution
The number of revolutions made by the wheel in 1 minute (60 seconds) is 360.
Number of revolutions in 1 second = 360 / 60 = 6 revolutions.
We know that in one complete revolution, the angle turned is 2π radians.
Therefore, the angle turned in 6 revolutions = 6 × 2π radians.
Angle turned in 1 second = 12π radians.
Q4EXERCISE 3.1
Find the degree measure of the angle subtended at the centre of a circle of radius 100 cm by an arc of length 22 cm (Use π = 22/7).
Solution
Given:
Radius of the circle, r = 100 cm
Length of the arc, l = 22 cm
We know the relationship between the angle (θ in radians), arc length (l), and radius (r) is θ = l/r.
θ = 22 / 100 radians.
To convert this angle to degrees, we multiply by 180/π.
Degree measure = (22/100) × (180/π)
Using π = 22/7:
Degree measure = (22/100) × (180 × 7 / 22)
= (1/100) × (180 × 7)
= 1260 / 100 = 12.6°
Now, we convert the decimal part of the degree into minutes.
0.6° = 0.6 × 60' = 36'
So, the degree measure of the angle is 12° 36'.
Q5EXERCISE 3.1
In a circle of diameter 40 cm, the length of a chord is 20 cm. Find the length of minor arc of the chord.
Solution
Given:
Diameter of the circle = 40 cm
Radius of the circle, r = Diameter / 2 = 40 / 2 = 20 cm.
Length of the chord = 20 cm.
Consider the triangle formed by the chord and the two radii connecting the endpoints of the chord to the center of the circle. Let the center be O and the endpoints of the chord be A and B.
In ΔOAB:
OA = radius = 20 cm
OB = radius = 20 cm
AB = length of the chord = 20 cm
Since all three sides of ΔOAB are equal, it is an equilateral triangle.
The angle subtended by the chord at the center, θ = 60°.
To find the length of the minor arc, we use the formula l = rθ, where θ must be in radians.
First, convert the angle to radians:
θ = 60° = 60 × (π/180) = π/3 radians.
Now, calculate the arc length:
l = rθ = 20 × (π/3) = 20π/3 cm.
Q6EXERCISE 3.1
If in two circles, arcs of the same length subtend angles 60° and 75° at the centre, find the ratio of their radii.
Solution
Let the two circles have radii r₁ and r₂, respectively.
Let the length of the arc be 'l' for both circles.
For the first circle:
Angle, θ₁ = 60°
Radius = r₁
For the second circle:
Angle, θ₂ = 75°
Radius = r₂
We know the formula l = rθ, where θ must be in radians.
First, convert the angles to radians:
θ₁ = 60° = 60 × (π/180) = π/3 radians.
θ₂ = 75° = 75 × (π/180) = 5π/12 radians.
For the first circle, l = r₁θ₁ = r₁(π/3).
For the second circle, l = r₂θ₂ = r₂(5π/12).
Since the arc lengths are the same:
r₁(π/3) = r₂(5π/12)
To find the ratio r₁ : r₂, we rearrange the equation:
r₁/r₂ = (5π/12) / (π/3)
r₁/r₂ = (5π/12) × (3/π)
r₁/r₂ = 15/12 = 5/4
Therefore, the ratio of their radii, r₁ : r₂ is 5 : 4.
Q7EXERCISE 3.1
Find the angle in radian through which a pendulum swings if its length is 75 cm and the tip describes an arc of length
(i)
10 cm
(ii)
15 cm
(iii)
21 cm
Solution
The length of the pendulum acts as the radius (r) of the circle, and the distance the tip moves is the arc length (l).
Given, r = 75 cm.
The angle in radians (θ) is given by the formula θ = l/r.
(i) l = 10 cm
θ = 10 / 75 = 2/15 radians
(ii) l = 15 cm
θ = 15 / 75 = 1/5 radians
(iii) l = 21 cm
θ = 21 / 75 = 7/25 radians

-
cot x: cot x = 1 / tan x = 1 / (-5/12) = -12/5.
-
sec x: We know that 1 + tan²x = sec²x. sec²x = 1 + (-5/12)² = 1 + 25/144 = 169/144. sec x = ±√(169/144) = ±13/12. Since x is in the second quadrant, sec x is negative. So, sec x = -13/12.

Q6EXERCISE 3.2
Find the values of the trigonometric functions in Exercises 6 to 10. 6. sin 765°
Solution
We know that the values of sin x repeat after an interval of 360° or 2π radians. We can write 765° as a multiple of 360° plus a remainder.
765° = 2 × 360° + 45° = 720° + 45°
Therefore, sin(765°) = sin(2 × 360° + 45°) = sin(45°).
Since sin(45°) = 1/√2,
sin(765°) = 1/√2.
Q7EXERCISE 3.2
cosec(-1410°)
Solution
We know that cosec(-x) = -cosec(x). Also, the values of cosec x repeat after an interval of 360°.
cosec(-1410°) = -cosec(1410°)
Now, we write 1410° as a multiple of 360° plus a remainder.
1410° = 3 × 360° + 330° = 1080° + 330°
Alternatively, 1410° = 4 × 360° - 30° = 1440° - 30°
Using the second form:
-cosec(1410°) = -cosec(4 × 360° - 30°) = -cosec(-30°)
Since cosec(-x) = -cosec(x):
-cosec(-30°) = -(-cosec(30°)) = cosec(30°).
We know that cosec(30°) = 2.
Therefore, cosec(-1410°) = 2.
Q8EXERCISE 3.2
tan (19π/3)
Solution
We know that the values of tan x repeat after an interval of π radians.
We can write 19π/3 as a multiple of π plus a remainder.
19π/3 = (18π + π)/3 = 18π/3 + π/3 = 6π + π/3
Therefore, tan(19π/3) = tan(6π + π/3).
Since tan(nπ + x) = tan(x) for any integer n:
tan(6π + π/3) = tan(π/3).
We know that tan(π/3) = √3.
Therefore, tan(19π/3) = √3.
Q9EXERCISE 3.2
sin (-11π/3)
Solution
We know that sin(-x) = -sin(x). Also, the values of sin x repeat after an interval of 2π radians.
sin(-11π/3) = -sin(11π/3)
Now, we write 11π/3 as a multiple of 2π.
11π/3 = (12π - π)/3 = 12π/3 - π/3 = 4π - π/3 = 2 × 2π - π/3
-sin(11π/3) = -sin(4π - π/3)
Since sin(2nπ + x) = sin(x):
-sin(4π - π/3) = -sin(-π/3)
Using sin(-x) = -sin(x):
-sin(-π/3) = -(-sin(π/3)) = sin(π/3).
We know that sin(π/3) = √3/2.
Therefore, sin(-11π/3) = √3/2.
Q10EXERCISE 3.2
cot (-15π/4)
Solution
We know that cot(-x) = -cot(x). Also, the values of cot x repeat after an interval of π radians.
cot(-15π/4) = -cot(15π/4)
Now, we write 15π/4 as a multiple of π.
15π/4 = (16π - π)/4 = 16π/4 - π/4 = 4π - π/4
-cot(15π/4) = -cot(4π - π/4)
Since cot(nπ + x) = cot(x):
-cot(4π - π/4) = -cot(-π/4)
Using cot(-x) = -cot(x):
-cot(-π/4) = -(-cot(π/4)) = cot(π/4).
We know that cot(π/4) = 1.
Therefore, cot(-15π/4) = 1.
Q1EXERCISE 3.3
Prove that: sin²(π/6) + cos²(π/3) - tan²(π/4) = -1/2
Solution
To prove the identity, we will evaluate the Left Hand Side (L.H.S.) by substituting the known values of the trigonometric functions.
L.H.S. = sin²(π/6) + cos²(π/3) - tan²(π/4)
We know the values:
- sin(π/6) = 1/2
- cos(π/3) = 1/2
- tan(π/4) = 1
Substitute these values into the L.H.S.:
L.H.S. = (1/2)² + (1/2)² - (1)²
= 1/4 + 1/4 - 1
= 2/4 - 1
= 1/2 - 1
= -1/2
Since L.H.S. = -1/2 and the Right Hand Side (R.H.S.) is -1/2, we have:
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, proved.
Q2EXERCISE 3.3
2sin²(π/6) + cosec²(7π/6)cos²(π/3) = 3/2
Solution
To prove the identity, we will evaluate the Left Hand Side (L.H.S.).
L.H.S. = 2sin²(π/6) + cosec²(7π/6)cos²(π/3)
First, let us find the values of the trigonometric functions:
- sin(π/6) = 1/2
- cos(π/3) = 1/2
- cosec(7π/6) = cosec(π + π/6). Since the angle is in the third quadrant, cosec is negative. So, cosec(π + π/6) = -cosec(π/6) = -2.
Now substitute these values into the L.H.S.:
L.H.S. = 2(1/2)² + (-2)²(1/2)²
= 2(1/4) + (4)(1/4)
= 1/2 + 1
= 3/2
Since L.H.S. = 3/2 and the Right Hand Side (R.H.S.) is 3/2, we have:
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, proved.
Q3EXERCISE 3.3
cot²(π/6) + cosec(5π/6) + 3tan²(π/6) = 6
Solution
To prove the identity, we will evaluate the Left Hand Side (L.H.S.).
L.H.S. = cot²(π/6) + cosec(5π/6) + 3tan²(π/6)
First, let us find the values of the trigonometric functions:
- cot(π/6) = √3
- tan(π/6) = 1/√3
- cosec(5π/6) = cosec(π - π/6). Since the angle is in the second quadrant, cosec is positive. So, cosec(π - π/6) = cosec(π/6) = 2.
Now substitute these values into the L.H.S.:
L.H.S. = (√3)² + 2 + 3(1/√3)²
= 3 + 2 + 3(1/3)
= 3 + 2 + 1
= 6
Since L.H.S. = 6 and the Right Hand Side (R.H.S.) is 6, we have:
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, proved.
Q4EXERCISE 3.3
2sin²(3π/4) + 2cos²(π/4) + 2sec²(π/3) = 10
Solution
To prove the identity, we will evaluate the Left Hand Side (L.H.S.).
L.H.S. = 2sin²(3π/4) + 2cos²(π/4) + 2sec²(π/3)
First, let us find the values of the trigonometric functions:
- sin(3π/4) = sin(π - π/4). Since the angle is in the second quadrant, sin is positive. So, sin(π - π/4) = sin(π/4) = 1/√2.
- cos(π/4) = 1/√2
- sec(π/3) = 2
Now substitute these values into the L.H.S.:
L.H.S. = 2(1/√2)² + 2(1/√2)² + 2(2)²
= 2(1/2) + 2(1/2) + 2(4)
= 1 + 1 + 8
= 10
Since L.H.S. = 10 and the Right Hand Side (R.H.S.) is 10, we have:
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, proved.
Q5EXERCISE 3.3
Find the value of:
(i)
sin 75°
(ii)
tan 15°
Solution
(i) sin 75°
We can write 75° as the sum of two standard angles, 45° and 30°.
sin 75° = sin(45° + 30°)
Using the identity sin(A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B:
sin(45° + 30°) = sin 45° cos 30° + cos 45° sin 30°
= (1/√2) × (√3/2) + (1/√2) × (1/2)
= √3/(2√2) + 1/(2√2)
= (√3 + 1) / (2√2)
So, sin 75° = (√3 + 1) / (2√2).
(ii) tan 15°
We can write 15° as the difference of two standard angles, 45° and 30°.
tan 15° = tan(45° - 30°)
Using the identity tan(A - B) = (tan A - tan B) / (1 + tan A tan B):
tan(45° - 30°) = (tan 45° - tan 30°) / (1 + tan 45° tan 30°)
= (1 - 1/√3) / (1 + 1 × 1/√3)
= ((√3 - 1)/√3) / ((√3 + 1)/√3)
= (√3 - 1) / (√3 + 1)
To rationalize the denominator, we multiply the numerator and denominator by (√3 - 1):
= [(√3 - 1)(√3 - 1)] / [(√3 + 1)(√3 - 1)]
= (√3 - 1)² / ( (√3)² - 1²)
= (3 - 2√3 + 1) / (3 - 1)
= (4 - 2√3) / 2
= 2 - √3
So, tan 15° = 2 - √3.
Q6EXERCISE 3.3
Prove the following: 6. cos(π/4 - x)cos(π/4 - y) - sin(π/4 - x)sin(π/4 - y) = sin(x+y)
Solution
We will use the trigonometric identity:
cos A cos B - sin A sin B = cos(A + B)
Let A = (π/4 - x) and B = (π/4 - y).
The Left Hand Side (L.H.S.) of the given equation is in the form of this identity.
L.H.S. = cos(π/4 - x)cos(π/4 - y) - sin(π/4 - x)sin(π/4 - y)
Applying the identity, we get:
L.H.S. = cos[(π/4 - x) + (π/4 - y)]
= cos[π/4 + π/4 - x - y]
= cos[2π/4 - (x + y)]
= cos[π/2 - (x + y)]
Now, we use the co-function identity: cos(π/2 - θ) = sin θ.
Let θ = (x + y).
L.H.S. = sin(x + y)
This is equal to the Right Hand Side (R.H.S.).
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, proved.
Q7EXERCISE 3.3
tan(π/4 + x) / tan(π/4 - x) = ((1+tan x)/(1-tan x))²
Solution
We will simplify the Left Hand Side (L.H.S.) using the tangent sum and difference identities:
- tan(A + B) = (tan A + tan B) / (1 - tan A tan B)
- tan(A - B) = (tan A - tan B) / (1 + tan A tan B)
L.H.S. = tan(π/4 + x) / tan(π/4 - x)
First, let's evaluate the numerator, tan(π/4 + x):
tan(π/4 + x) = (tan(π/4) + tan x) / (1 - tan(π/4)tan x)
Since tan(π/4) = 1:
= (1 + tan x) / (1 - tan x)
Next, let's evaluate the denominator, tan(π/4 - x):
tan(π/4 - x) = (tan(π/4) - tan x) / (1 + tan(π/4)tan x)
= (1 - tan x) / (1 + tan x)
Now, substitute these back into the L.H.S.:
L.H.S. = [ (1 + tan x) / (1 - tan x) ] / [ (1 - tan x) / (1 + tan x) ]
= [ (1 + tan x) / (1 - tan x) ] × [ (1 + tan x) / (1 - tan x) ]
= (1 + tan x)² / (1 - tan x)²
= ((1 + tan x) / (1 - tan x))²
This is equal to the Right Hand Side (R.H.S.).
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, proved.
Q8EXERCISE 3.3
(cos(π+x)cos(-x)) / (sin(π-x)cos(π/2+x)) = cot²x
Solution
To prove the identity, we will simplify the Left Hand Side (L.H.S.) using the following properties of trigonometric functions:
- cos(π + x) = -cos x (cosine is negative in the 3rd quadrant)
- cos(-x) = cos x (cosine is an even function)
- sin(π - x) = sin x (sine is positive in the 2nd quadrant)
- cos(π/2 + x) = -sin x (cosine is negative in the 2nd quadrant)
L.H.S. = (cos(π+x)cos(-x)) / (sin(π-x)cos(π/2+x))
Substitute the identities into the L.H.S.:
L.H.S. = ((-cos x)(cos x)) / ((sin x)(-sin x))
= (-cos²x) / (-sin²x)
= cos²x / sin²x
Since cot x = cos x / sin x, we have cot²x = cos²x / sin²x.
L.H.S. = cot²x
This is equal to the Right Hand Side (R.H.S.).
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, proved.
Q9EXERCISE 3.3
cos(3π/2+x)cos(2π+x)[cot(3π/2-x) + cot(2π+x)] = 1
Solution
To prove the identity, we will simplify the Left Hand Side (L.H.S.) using the following properties of trigonometric functions:
- cos(3π/2 + x) = sin x (cosine is positive in the 4th quadrant)
- cos(2π + x) = cos x (period of cosine is 2π)
- cot(3π/2 - x) = tan x (cotangent is positive in the 3rd quadrant)
- cot(2π + x) = cot x (period of cotangent is π, so it is also 2π)
L.H.S. = cos(3π/2+x)cos(2π+x)[cot(3π/2-x) + cot(2π+x)]
Substitute the identities into the L.H.S.:
L.H.S. = (sin x)(cos x)[tan x + cot x]
Now, express tan x and cot x in terms of sin x and cos x:
tan x = sin x / cos x
cot x = cos x / sin x
L.H.S. = (sin x cos x) [ (sin x / cos x) + (cos x / sin x) ]
Find a common denominator for the terms inside the bracket:
L.H.S. = (sin x cos x) [ (sin²x + cos²x) / (cos x sin x) ]
Using the Pythagorean identity sin²x + cos²x = 1:
L.H.S. = (sin x cos x) [ 1 / (cos x sin x) ]
Cancel out the (sin x cos x) terms:
L.H.S. = 1
This is equal to the Right Hand Side (R.H.S.).
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, proved.
Q10EXERCISE 3.3
sin(n+1)x sin(n+2)x + cos(n+1)x cos(n+2)x = cos x
Solution
We will use the trigonometric identity:
cos A cos B + sin A sin B = cos(A - B)
The Left Hand Side (L.H.S.) of the given equation is in the form of this identity.
L.H.S. = sin(n+1)x sin(n+2)x + cos(n+1)x cos(n+2)x
Let A = (n+2)x and B = (n+1)x.
Rewriting the L.H.S. to match the identity form:
L.H.S. = cos((n+2)x)cos((n+1)x) + sin((n+2)x)sin((n+1)x)
Applying the identity cos(A - B), we get:
L.H.S. = cos[ (n+2)x - (n+1)x ]
= cos[ (n+2 - (n+1))x ]
= cos[ (n + 2 - n - 1)x ]
= cos[ (1)x ]
= cos x
This is equal to the Right Hand Side (R.H.S.).
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, proved.
Q11EXERCISE 3.3
cos(3π/4 + x) - cos(3π/4 - x) = -√2 sin x
Solution
We will use the sum-to-product identity:
cos A - cos B = -2 sin((A + B)/2) sin((A - B)/2)
Let A = (3π/4 + x) and B = (3π/4 - x).
The Left Hand Side (L.H.S.) of the given equation is in the form of this identity.
L.H.S. = cos(3π/4 + x) - cos(3π/4 - x)
First, we find (A + B)/2 and (A - B)/2:
- A + B = (3π/4 + x) + (3π/4 - x) = 6π/4 = 3π/2 (A + B)/2 = (3π/2) / 2 = 3π/4
- A - B = (3π/4 + x) - (3π/4 - x) = 2x (A - B)/2 = 2x / 2 = x
Now, apply the identity:
L.H.S. = -2 sin(3π/4) sin(x)
We need to find the value of sin(3π/4).
3π/4 is in the second quadrant, where sine is positive.
sin(3π/4) = sin(π - π/4) = sin(π/4) = 1/√2.
Substitute this value back into the L.H.S.:
L.H.S. = -2 (1/√2) sin x
= - (2/√2) sin x
= -√2 sin x
This is equal to the Right Hand Side (R.H.S.).
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, proved.

Let A = 6x and B = 4x.
The Left Hand Side (L.H.S.) of the given equation is in the form of this identity.
L.H.S. = sin²6x - sin²4x
Applying the identity, we get:
L.H.S. = sin(6x + 4x) sin(6x - 4x)
= sin(10x) sin(2x)
This can be rewritten as sin 2x sin 10x, which is the Right Hand Side (R.H.S.).

Q13EXERCISE 3.3
cos²2x - cos²6x = sin 4x sin 8x
Solution
We will first transform the Left Hand Side (L.H.S.) using the Pythagorean identity cos²θ = 1 - sin²θ.
L.H.S. = cos²2x - cos²6x
= (1 - sin²2x) - (1 - sin²6x)
= 1 - sin²2x - 1 + sin²6x
= sin²6x - sin²2x
Now, we use the identity:
sin²A - sin²B = sin(A + B)sin(A - B)
Let A = 6x and B = 2x.
L.H.S. = sin(6x + 2x) sin(6x - 2x)
= sin(8x) sin(4x)
This can be rewritten as sin 4x sin 8x, which is the Right Hand Side (R.H.S.).

Solution
We will rearrange the Left Hand Side (L.H.S.) and use the sum-to-product identity:
sin A + sin B = 2 sin((A + B)/2) cos((A - B)/2)
L.H.S. = sin 2x + 2sin 4x + sin 6x
= (sin 6x + sin 2x) + 2sin 4x
Apply the identity to the term in the parenthesis with A = 6x and B = 2x:
L.H.S. = [ 2 sin((6x + 2x)/2) cos((6x - 2x)/2) ] + 2sin 4x
= [ 2 sin(8x/2) cos(4x/2) ] + 2sin 4x
= 2 sin(4x) cos(2x) + 2sin 4x
Now, factor out the common term 2sin 4x:
L.H.S. = 2sin 4x (cos 2x + 1)
Next, use the double-angle identity for cosine: cos 2x = 2cos²x - 1.
L.H.S. = 2sin 4x ( (2cos²x - 1) + 1 )
= 2sin 4x (2cos²x)
= 4cos²x sin 4x
This is equal to the Right Hand Side (R.H.S.).
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, proved.

Solution
We will simplify both the Left Hand Side (L.H.S.) and the Right Hand Side (R.H.S.) separately using the sum-to-product identities:
- sin A + sin B = 2 sin((A + B)/2) cos((A - B)/2)
- sin A - sin B = 2 cos((A + B)/2) sin((A - B)/2)
Simplifying L.H.S.:
L.H.S. = cot 4x (sin 5x + sin 3x)
Apply the first identity with A = 5x and B = 3x:
L.H.S. = cot 4x [ 2 sin((5x + 3x)/2) cos((5x - 3x)/2) ]
= cot 4x [ 2 sin(4x) cos(x) ]
Express cot 4x as cos 4x / sin 4x:
L.H.S. = (cos 4x / sin 4x) × 2 sin 4x cos x
= 2 cos 4x cos x
Simplifying R.H.S.:
R.H.S. = cot x (sin 5x - sin 3x)
Apply the second identity with A = 5x and B = 3x:
R.H.S. = cot x [ 2 cos((5x + 3x)/2) sin((5x - 3x)/2) ]
= cot x [ 2 cos(4x) sin(x) ]
Express cot x as cos x / sin x:
R.H.S. = (cos x / sin x) × 2 cos 4x sin x
= 2 cos x cos 4x
Since L.H.S. = 2 cos 4x cos x and R.H.S. = 2 cos 4x cos x, we have:
L.H.S. = R.H.S.

Now, substitute the simplified numerator and denominator back into the L.H.S.:
L.H.S. = (-2 sin(7x) sin(2x)) / (2 cos(10x) sin(7x))
Cancel the common terms (2 and sin(7x)):
L.H.S. = -sin(2x) / cos(10x)
This is equal to the Right Hand Side (R.H.S.).
L.H.S. = R.H.S.

= 2 cos(8x/2) cos(2x/2)
= 2 cos(4x) cos(x)
Now, substitute the simplified numerator and denominator back into the L.H.S.:
L.H.S. = (2 sin(4x) cos(x)) / (2 cos(4x) cos(x))
Cancel the common terms (2 and cos(x)):
L.H.S. = sin(4x) / cos(4x)

Solution
We will simplify the Left Hand Side (L.H.S.) using the sum-to-product identities:
- sin x - sin y = 2 cos((x + y)/2) sin((x - y)/2)
- cos x + cos y = 2 cos((x + y)/2) cos((x - y)/2)

- sin A + sin B = 2 sin((A + B)/2) cos((A - B)/2)
- cos A + cos B = 2 cos((A + B)/2) cos((A - B)/2)
L.H.S. = (sin 3x + sin x) / (cos 3x + cos x)
Numerator:
sin 3x + sin x = 2 sin((3x + x)/2) cos((3x - x)/2)

Solution
To prove this identity, we will rearrange the terms in the numerator and denominator of the Left Hand Side (L.H.S.) and apply sum-to-product identities.
L.H.S. = (cos 4x + cos 3x + cos 2x) / (sin 4x + sin 3x + sin 2x)
Rearrange the terms:

Now, apply the identities:
- cos A + cos B = 2 cos((A + B)/2) cos((A - B)/2)
- sin A + sin B = 2 sin((A + B)/2) cos((A - B)/2)
Numerator:
(cos 4x + cos 2x) + cos 3x = [2 cos((4x + 2x)/2) cos((4x - 2x)/2)] + cos 3x
= 2 cos(3x) cos(x) + cos 3x
Factor out cos 3x:

Denominator:
(sin 4x + sin 2x) + sin 3x = [2 sin((4x + 2x)/2) cos((4x - 2x)/2)] + sin 3x
= 2 sin(3x) cos(x) + sin 3x
Factor out sin 3x:
= sin 3x (2 cos x + 1)
Substitute back into the L.H.S.:
L.H.S. = [cos 3x (2 cos x + 1)] / [sin 3x (2 cos x + 1)]

Q22EXERCISE 3.3
cot x cot 2x - cot 2x cot 3x - cot 3x cot x = 1
Solution
To prove this identity, we start with the relationship 3x = 2x + x.
Take the cotangent of both sides:
cot(3x) = cot(2x + x)
Now, apply the cotangent sum identity:
cot(A + B) = (cot A cot B - 1) / (cot B + cot A)
cot(3x) = (cot 2x cot x - 1) / (cot 2x + cot x)
Multiply both sides by (cot 2x + cot x):
cot(3x) (cot 2x + cot x) = cot 2x cot x - 1
Distribute cot(3x) on the left side:
cot 3x cot 2x + cot 3x cot x = cot 2x cot x - 1
Rearrange the terms to match the required expression:
1 = cot 2x cot x - cot 3x cot 2x - cot 3x cot x
This is the identity we needed to prove.
Hence, proved.
Q23EXERCISE 3.3
tan 4x = (4tan x(1-tan²x)) / (1-6tan²x+tan⁴x)
Solution
We will prove this identity by expressing tan 4x in terms of tan x using the double-angle identity for tangent, tan 2A = (2 tan A) / (1 - tan²A).
First, let's write tan 4x as tan(2 * 2x).
Using the identity with A = 2x:
tan 4x = (2 tan 2x) / (1 - tan²2x)
Now, we substitute the expression for tan 2x again using the same identity (with A = x):
tan 2x = (2 tan x) / (1 - tan²x)
Substitute this into the equation for tan 4x:
Numerator:
2 tan 2x = 2 [ (2 tan x) / (1 - tan²x) ] = (4 tan x) / (1 - tan²x)
Denominator:
1 - tan²2x = 1 - [ (2 tan x) / (1 - tan²x) ]²
= 1 - (4 tan²x) / (1 - tan²x)²
Find a common denominator:
= [ (1 - tan²x)² - 4 tan²x ] / (1 - tan²x)²
Expand (1 - tan²x)²:
= [ (1 - 2tan²x + tan⁴x) - 4 tan²x ] / (1 - tan²x)²
= (1 - 6tan²x + tan⁴x) / (1 - tan²x)²
Now, combine the numerator and denominator for tan 4x:
tan 4x = [ (4 tan x) / (1 - tan²x) ] / [ (1 - 6tan²x + tan⁴x) / (1 - tan²x)² ]
= [ (4 tan x) / (1 - tan²x) ] × [ (1 - tan²x)² / (1 - 6tan²x + tan⁴x) ]
Cancel one (1 - tan²x) term:
= (4 tan x (1 - tan²x)) / (1 - 6tan²x + tan⁴x)
This is the Right Hand Side (R.H.S.).
Hence, proved.
Q24EXERCISE 3.3

First, let's write cos 4x as cos(2 * 2x).
Using the identity with A = 2x:
cos 4x = 1 - 2sin²(2x)
Now, we use the double-angle identity for sine, sin 2x = 2 sin x cos x.
Substitute this into the equation:
cos 4x = 1 - 2(2 sin x cos x)²
= 1 - 2(4 sin²x cos²x)
= 1 - 8sin²x cos²x
This is the Right Hand Side (R.H.S.).
Hence, proved.
Q25EXERCISE 3.3
cos 6x = 32cos⁶x - 48cos⁴x + 18cos²x - 1
Solution
We will prove this identity by using the triple-angle and double-angle identities for cosine.
- cos 3A = 4cos³A - 3cos A
- cos 2A = 2cos²A - 1
First, let's write cos 6x as cos(3 * 2x).
Using the triple-angle identity with A = 2x:
cos 6x = 4cos³(2x) - 3cos(2x)
Now, substitute the expression for cos 2x into this equation:
cos 6x = 4(2cos²x - 1)³ - 3(2cos²x - 1)
We need to expand (2cos²x - 1)³. Using the binomial expansion (a - b)³ = a³ - 3a²b + 3ab² - b³:
Let a = 2cos²x and b = 1.
(2cos²x - 1)³ = (2cos²x)³ - 3(2cos²x)²(1) + 3(2cos²x)(1)² - (1)³
= 8cos⁶x - 3(4cos⁴x) + 6cos²x - 1
= 8cos⁶x - 12cos⁴x + 6cos²x - 1
Now substitute this expansion back into the equation for cos 6x:
cos 6x = 4(8cos⁶x - 12cos⁴x + 6cos²x - 1) - 3(2cos²x - 1)
Distribute the constants:
cos 6x = (32cos⁶x - 48cos⁴x + 24cos²x - 4) - (6cos²x - 3)
cos 6x = 32cos⁶x - 48cos⁴x + 24cos²x - 4 - 6cos²x + 3
Combine like terms:
cos 6x = 32cos⁶x - 48cos⁴x + 18cos²x - 1
This is the Right Hand Side (R.H.S.).
Hence, proved.
Q1Miscellaneous Exercise on Chapter 3
Prove that: 2cos(π/13)cos(9π/13) + cos(3π/13) + cos(5π/13) = 0
Solution
We will use the product-to-sum identity:
2 cos A cos B = cos(A + B) + cos(A - B)
Let's apply this to the first term of the Left Hand Side (L.H.S.).
Let A = 9π/13 and B = π/13.
2cos(9π/13)cos(π/13) = cos(9π/13 + π/13) + cos(9π/13 - π/13)
= cos(10π/13) + cos(8π/13)
Now, substitute this back into the L.H.S.:
L.H.S. = [cos(10π/13) + cos(8π/13)] + cos(3π/13) + cos(5π/13)
We can express some angles in terms of π. Notice that 10π/13 = π - 3π/13 and 8π/13 = π - 5π/13.
Using the identity cos(π - θ) = -cos θ:
- cos(10π/13) = cos(π - 3π/13) = -cos(3π/13)
- cos(8π/13) = cos(π - 5π/13) = -cos(5π/13)
Substitute these into the L.H.S. expression:
L.H.S. = [-cos(3π/13) - cos(5π/13)] + cos(3π/13) + cos(5π/13)
= -cos(3π/13) + cos(3π/13) - cos(5π/13) + cos(5π/13)
= 0
This is equal to the Right Hand Side (R.H.S.).
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, proved.
Q2Miscellaneous Exercise on Chapter 3
(sin 3x + sin x)sin x + (cos 3x - cos x)cos x = 0
Solution
We will expand the Left Hand Side (L.H.S.) and then group the terms.
L.H.S. = (sin 3x + sin x)sin x + (cos 3x - cos x)cos x
Distribute sin x and cos x:
L.H.S. = sin 3x sin x + sin²x + cos 3x cos x - cos²x
Rearrange the terms to group the product terms and the squared terms:
L.H.S. = (cos 3x cos x + sin 3x sin x) + (sin²x - cos²x)
Now, we use two identities:
- cos(A - B) = cos A cos B + sin A sin B
- cos 2A = cos²A - sin²A, which means -(cos²A - sin²A) = -cos 2A
Applying the first identity to the first group with A = 3x and B = x:
cos 3x cos x + sin 3x sin x = cos(3x - x) = cos(2x)
Applying the second identity to the second group:
sin²x - cos²x = -(cos²x - sin²x) = -cos(2x)
Substitute these back into the L.H.S.:
L.H.S. = cos(2x) - cos(2x)
= 0
This is equal to the Right Hand Side (R.H.S.).
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, proved.

We will simplify the Left Hand Side (L.H.S.) using the sum-to-product identities:
- cos x + cos y = 2 cos((x + y)/2) cos((x - y)/2)
- sin x - sin y = 2 cos((x + y)/2) sin((x - y)/2)
L.H.S. = (cos x + cos y)² + (sin x - sin y)²
Substitute the identities into the L.H.S.:
L.H.S. = [ 2 cos((x + y)/2) cos((x - y)/2) ]² + [ 2 cos((x + y)/2) sin((x - y)/2) ]²
Square each term:
L.H.S. = 4 cos²((x + y)/2) cos²((x - y)/2) + 4 cos²((x + y)/2) sin²((x - y)/2)
Factor out the common term 4 cos²((x + y)/2):
L.H.S. = 4 cos²((x + y)/2) [ cos²((x - y)/2) + sin²((x - y)/2) ]
Using the Pythagorean identity cos²θ + sin²θ = 1, where θ = (x - y)/2:
L.H.S. = 4 cos²((x + y)/2) [ 1 ]
= 4 cos²((x + y)/2)
This is equal to the Right Hand Side (R.H.S.).
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, proved.

Factor out the common term 4 sin²((x - y)/2):
L.H.S. = 4 sin²((x - y)/2) [ sin²((x + y)/2) + cos²((x + y)/2) ]
Using the Pythagorean identity sin²θ + cos²θ = 1, where θ = (x + y)/2:
L.H.S. = 4 sin²((x - y)/2) [ 1 ]
= 4 sin²((x - y)/2)
This is equal to the Right Hand Side (R.H.S.).
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, proved.
Q5Miscellaneous Exercise on Chapter 3
sin x + sin 3x + sin 5x + sin 7x = 4cos x cos 2x sin 4x
Solution
To prove this identity, we will rearrange the terms on the Left Hand Side (L.H.S.) and apply the sum-to-product identity: sin A + sin B = 2 sin((A + B)/2) cos((A - B)/2).
L.H.S. = sin x + sin 3x + sin 5x + sin 7x
Group the terms strategically:
L.H.S. = (sin 7x + sin x) + (sin 5x + sin 3x)
Apply the identity to the first group (A = 7x, B = x):
sin 7x + sin x = 2 sin((7x + x)/2) cos((7x - x)/2) = 2 sin(4x) cos(3x)
Apply the identity to the second group (A = 5x, B = 3x):
sin 5x + sin 3x = 2 sin((5x + 3x)/2) cos((5x - 3x)/2) = 2 sin(4x) cos(x)
Substitute these back into the L.H.S.:
L.H.S. = 2 sin(4x) cos(3x) + 2 sin(4x) cos(x)
Factor out the common term 2 sin(4x):
L.H.S. = 2 sin(4x) [cos(3x) + cos(x)]
Now, apply the sum-to-product identity for cosine: cos A + cos B = 2 cos((A + B)/2) cos((A - B)/2).
cos(3x) + cos(x) = 2 cos((3x + x)/2) cos((3x - x)/2) = 2 cos(2x) cos(x)
Substitute this back into the L.H.S. expression:
L.H.S. = 2 sin(4x) [2 cos(2x) cos(x)]
= 4 sin(4x) cos(2x) cos(x)
Rearranging the terms gives:
L.H.S. = 4 cos x cos 2x sin 4x
This is equal to the Right Hand Side (R.H.S.).
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, proved.
Q6Miscellaneous Exercise on Chapter 3
((sin 7x + sin 5x) + (sin 9x + sin 3x)) / ((cos 7x + cos 5x) + (cos 9x + cos 3x)) = tan 6x
Solution
We will simplify the numerator and denominator of the Left Hand Side (L.H.S.) using sum-to-product identities.
- sin A + sin B = 2 sin((A + B)/2) cos((A - B)/2)
- cos A + cos B = 2 cos((A + B)/2) cos((A - B)/2)
Numerator:
Numerator = (sin 7x + sin 5x) + (sin 9x + sin 3x)
= [2 sin((7x+5x)/2) cos((7x-5x)/2)] + [2 sin((9x+3x)/2) cos((9x-3x)/2)]
= [2 sin(6x) cos(x)] + [2 sin(6x) cos(3x)]
Factor out the common term 2 sin(6x):
= 2 sin(6x) (cos x + cos 3x)
Denominator:
Denominator = (cos 7x + cos 5x) + (cos 9x + cos 3x)
= [2 cos((7x+5x)/2) cos((7x-5x)/2)] + [2 cos((9x+3x)/2) cos((9x-3x)/2)]
= [2 cos(6x) cos(x)] + [2 cos(6x) cos(3x)]
Factor out the common term 2 cos(6x):
= 2 cos(6x) (cos x + cos 3x)
Now, substitute the simplified numerator and denominator back into the L.H.S.:
L.H.S. = [2 sin(6x) (cos x + cos 3x)] / [2 cos(6x) (cos x + cos 3x)]
Cancel the common terms (2 and (cos x + cos 3x)):
L.H.S. = sin(6x) / cos(6x)
Since tan θ = sin θ / cos θ:
L.H.S. = tan 6x
This is equal to the Right Hand Side (R.H.S.).
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, proved.
Q7Miscellaneous Exercise on Chapter 3
sin 3x + sin 2x - sin x = 4sin x cos(x/2) cos(3x/2)
Solution
To prove this identity, we will rearrange the terms on the Left Hand Side (L.H.S.) and apply sum-to-product and double-angle identities.
L.H.S. = sin 3x + sin 2x - sin x
Group the terms:
L.H.S. = (sin 3x - sin x) + sin 2x
Apply the identity sin A - sin B = 2 cos((A + B)/2) sin((A - B)/2) to the first group:
sin 3x - sin x = 2 cos((3x + x)/2) sin((3x - x)/2) = 2 cos(2x) sin(x)
Substitute this back into the L.H.S.:
L.H.S. = 2 cos(2x) sin(x) + sin 2x
Apply the double-angle identity sin 2x = 2 sin x cos x:
L.H.S. = 2 cos(2x) sin(x) + 2 sin x cos x
Factor out the common term 2 sin x:
L.H.S. = 2 sin x (cos 2x + cos x)
Now, apply the sum-to-product identity cos A + cos B = 2 cos((A + B)/2) cos((A - B)/2):
cos 2x + cos x = 2 cos((2x + x)/2) cos((2x - x)/2) = 2 cos(3x/2) cos(x/2)
Substitute this back into the L.H.S. expression:
L.H.S. = 2 sin x [2 cos(3x/2) cos(x/2)]
= 4 sin x cos(x/2) cos(3x/2)
This is equal to the Right Hand Side (R.H.S.).
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, proved.
Q8Miscellaneous Exercise on Chapter 3
Find sin(x/2), cos(x/2) and tan(x/2) in each of the following: 8. tan x = -4/3, x in quadrant II
Solution
Given: tan x = -4/3 and x is in quadrant II.
This means π/2 < x < π.
Dividing by 2, we get π/4 < x/2 < π/2. This means x/2 is in quadrant I.
In quadrant I, sin(x/2), cos(x/2), and tan(x/2) are all positive.
First, find cos x. We know sec²x = 1 + tan²x.
sec²x = 1 + (-4/3)² = 1 + 16/9 = 25/9.
sec x = ±√(25/9) = ±5/3.
Since x is in quadrant II, sec x is negative. So, sec x = -5/3.
cos x = 1 / sec x = -3/5.
Now we use the half-angle identities:
-
sin(x/2) sin²(x/2) = (1 - cos x) / 2 sin²(x/2) = (1 - (-3/5)) / 2 = (1 + 3/5) / 2 = (8/5) / 2 = 4/5. sin(x/2) = ±√(4/5) = ±2/√5. Since x/2 is in quadrant I, sin(x/2) is positive. sin(x/2) = 2/√5 or 2√5/5.
-
cos(x/2) cos²(x/2) = (1 + cos x) / 2 cos²(x/2) = (1 + (-3/5)) / 2 = (1 - 3/5) / 2 = (2/5) / 2 = 1/5. cos(x/2) = ±√(1/5) = ±1/√5. Since x/2 is in quadrant I, cos(x/2) is positive. cos(x/2) = 1/√5 or √5/5.
-
tan(x/2) tan(x/2) = sin(x/2) / cos(x/2) tan(x/2) = (2/√5) / (1/√5) = 2. tan(x/2) = 2.
Q9Miscellaneous Exercise on Chapter 3
cos x = -1/3, x in quadrant III
Solution
Given: cos x = -1/3 and x is in quadrant III.
This means π < x < 3π/2.
Dividing by 2, we get π/2 < x/2 < 3π/4. This means x/2 is in quadrant II.
In quadrant II, sin(x/2) is positive, while cos(x/2) and tan(x/2) are negative.
Now we use the half-angle identities:
-
sin(x/2) sin²(x/2) = (1 - cos x) / 2 sin²(x/2) = (1 - (-1/3)) / 2 = (1 + 1/3) / 2 = (4/3) / 2 = 2/3. sin(x/2) = ±√(2/3) = ±√6/3. Since x/2 is in quadrant II, sin(x/2) is positive. sin(x/2) = √6/3.
-
cos(x/2) cos²(x/2) = (1 + cos x) / 2 cos²(x/2) = (1 + (-1/3)) / 2 = (1 - 1/3) / 2 = (2/3) / 2 = 1/3. cos(x/2) = ±√(1/3) = ±1/√3 = ±√3/3. Since x/2 is in quadrant II, cos(x/2) is negative. cos(x/2) = -√3/3.
-
tan(x/2) tan(x/2) = sin(x/2) / cos(x/2) tan(x/2) = (√6/3) / (-√3/3) = -√6/√3 = -√(6/3) = -√2. tan(x/2) = -√2.
Q10Miscellaneous Exercise on Chapter 3
sin x = 1/4, x in quadrant II
Solution
Given: sin x = 1/4 and x is in quadrant II.
This means π/2 < x < π.
Dividing by 2, we get π/4 < x/2 < π/2. This means x/2 is in quadrant I.
In quadrant I, sin(x/2), cos(x/2), and tan(x/2) are all positive.
First, find cos x. We know cos²x = 1 - sin²x.
cos²x = 1 - (1/4)² = 1 - 1/16 = 15/16.
cos x = ±√(15/16) = ±√15/4.
Since x is in quadrant II, cos x is negative. So, cos x = -√15/4.
Now we use the half-angle identities:
-
sin(x/2) sin²(x/2) = (1 - cos x) / 2 sin²(x/2) = (1 - (-√15/4)) / 2 = (1 + √15/4) / 2 = (4 + √15) / 8. Since x/2 is in quadrant I, sin(x/2) is positive. sin(x/2) = √((4 + √15) / 8).
-
cos(x/2) cos²(x/2) = (1 + cos x) / 2 cos²(x/2) = (1 + (-√15/4)) / 2 = (1 - √15/4) / 2 = (4 - √15) / 8. Since x/2 is in quadrant I, cos(x/2) is positive. cos(x/2) = √((4 - √15) / 8).
-
tan(x/2) We can use the identity tan(x/2) = (1 - cos x) / sin x. tan(x/2) = (1 - (-√15/4)) / (1/4) = (1 + √15/4) / (1/4) = ((4 + √15)/4) / (1/4) = 4 + √15. tan(x/2) = 4 + √15.
