sin2x + cos2x = 1
Calculation:
Given: sin x + sin2 x = 1
As we know that, sin2x + cos2x = 1
⇒ sin x + (1 – cos2 x) = 1
⇒ sin x = cos2 x ----(1)
⇒ sin2 x = cos4 x (Using (1))
⇒ cos2 x + cos4 x = sin x + sin2 x = 1

(1 + cos2A) = 3sinA.cosA
Solution:
Dividing by cos2A,
⇒ (1 + cos2A) = 3sinA.cosA
⇒ (1 + sec2A) = 3tanA
We know that: sec2A = (1 + tan2A)
⇒ 2 + tan2A = 3tanA
⇒ tan2A – 3tanA + 2 = 0
⇒ (tan A – 1) (tan A – 2) = 0
⇒ tan A = 1 or 2
∴ cot A = 1 or 1/2If tan θ =

- sin2 x + cos2 x = 1
- cos (A + B) = cos A cos B – sin A sin B
- cos (A – B) = cos A cos B + sin A sin B
Calculation:
Given:
cos (30 + θ) = cos 30 cos θ – sin 30 sin θ
cos (45 – θ) = cos 45 cos θ + sin 45 sin θ

If (cosec x + cot x)/(cosec x – cot x) = 7. Then, find the value of (4sin2x + 1)/(4sin2x – 1).
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Trigonometric Ratios Question 10 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven
(cosec x + cot x)/(cosec x – cot x) = 7
Formula used
Cos2x = 1 – sin2x
Calculation
(cosec x + cot x)/(cosec x – cot x) = 7
⇒ (cosec x + cot x = 7(cosec x – cot x)
⇒ 8cot x = 6 cosec x
⇒ (8cos x)/sin x = 6/sin x
⇒ Cos x = 3/4
⇒ Cos2 x = 9/16
⇒ Sin2 x = 1 – 9/16
⇒ Sin2 x = 7/16
⇒ (4sin2x + 1)/(4sin2x – 1) = (4 × 7/16 + 1)/(4 × 7/16 – 1)
⇒ (7/4 + 1)/(7/4 –1)
⇒ (11/4)/(3/4)
⇒ 11/3
∴ The value of (4sin2x + 1)/(4sin2x – 1) is 11/3

Pythagoras Theorem
In triangle xyz, xz = Hypotenuse
(xz)2 = (xy)2 + (yz)2
Calculation:
(xz)2 = 112 + 602
⇒ xz = √3721 = 61
Now, (4cos A - 7sin A)
⇒ 4 × B/H - 7 × P/H
⇒ 4 × 60/61 - 7 × 11/61
⇒ 240/61 - 77/61 = 163/61
⇒
∴ (4cos A - 7sin A) =

-
sin 60° =
-
cos 30° =
Calculation:
Since, sin (A + B) =
⇒ sin (A + B) = sin 60°
⇒ A + B = 60° ----(1)
Also, cos (A - B) =
⇒ cos (A - B) = cos 30°
⇒ A - B = 30° ----(2)
On solving equations (1) & (2), we get,
A = 45° and B = 15°
Hence, acute angles of A and B are 45° and 15° respectively.

Trigonometric Ratios Question 15 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
We have to evalute 2 tan2 45° + cos2 30° - sin2 60°
Formula Used:
tan45° = 1
Cos30° = √3/2
Sin60° = √3/2
Calculation:
2 tan2 45° + cos2 30° - sin2 60°
⇒ 2 × 12 + (√3/2)2 – (√3/2)2
⇒ 2 + 3/4 – 3/4
⇒ 2
∴ The value of 2 tan2 45° + cos2 30° - sin2 60° is 2.
