Question 1 Maharashtra Board Solution
If sin θ = , find the values of cos θ and tan θ.
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
sin θ = … [Given] We know that, sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1 …[Taking square root of both sides] Now, tan θ = Alternate Method: sin θ = …(i) [Given] Consider ∆ABC, where ∠ABC 90° and ∠ACB = θ. sin θ = … (ii) [By definition] ∴ = … [From (i) and (ii)] LetAB = 7k and AC = 25k In ∆ABC, ∠B = 90° ∴ AB2 + BC2 = AC2 … [Pythagoras theorem] ∴ (7k)2 + BC2 = (25k)2 ∴ 49k2 + BC2 = 625k2 ∴ BC2 = 625k2 – 49k2 ∴ BC2 = 576k2 ∴ BC = 24k …[Taking square root of both sides]
Question 2 Maharashtra Board Solution
If tan θ = , find the values of sec θ and cos θ.
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
Alternate Method: tan θ = …(i)[Given] Consider ∆ABC, where ∠ABC 90° and ∠ACB = θ. tan θ = … (ii) [By definition] ∴ = … [From (i) and (ii)] Let AB = 3k and BC 4k In ∆ABC,∠B = 90° ∴ AB2 + BC2 = AC2 …[Pythagoras theorem] ∴ (3k)2 + (4k)2 = AC2 ∴ 9k2 + 16k2 = AC2 ∴ AC2 = 25k2 ∴ AC = 5k …[Taking square root of both sides]
Question 3 Maharashtra Board Solution
If cot θ = , find the values of cosec θ and sin θ
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
..[Taking square root of both sides] Alternate Method: cot θ = ….(i) [Given] Consider ∆ABC, where ∠ABC = 90° and ∠ACB = θ cot θ = …(ii) [By defnition] ∴ = ….. [From (i) and (ii)] Let BC = 40k and AB = 9k In ∆ABC, ∠B = 90° ∴ AB2 + BC2 = AC2 … [Pythagoras theorem] ∴ (9k)2 + (40k)2 = AC2 ∴ 81k2 + 1600k2 = AC2 ∴ AC2 = 1681k2 ∴ AC = 41k … [Taking square root of both sides]
Question 4 Maharashtra Board Solution
If 5 sec θ – 12 cosec θ = θ, find the values of sec θ, cos θ and sin θ.
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
5 sec θ – 12 cosec θ = 0 …[Given] ∴ 5 sec θ = 12 cosec θ
Question 5 Maharashtra Board Solution
If tan θ = 1, then find the value of
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
tan θ = 1 … [Given] We know that, tan 45° = 1 ∴ tan θ = tan 45° ∴ θ = 45°
Question 6 Maharashtra Board Solution
Prove that: i. ii. cos2 θ (1+ tan2 θ) = 1 iii. iv. (sec θ – cos θ) (cot θ + tan θ) tan θ. sec θ v. cot θ + tan θ cosec θ. sec θ vi. vii. sin4 θ – cos4 θ = 1 – 2 cos2 θ viii. Proof: i. L.H.S. =

ii. L.H.S. = cos2θ(1 + tan2θ)
= cos2θ sec2θ …[∵ 1 + tan2θ = sec2θ]

= 1
= R.H.S.
∴ cos2θ (1 + tan2θ) = 1

iv. L.H.S. = (sec θ – cos θ) (cot θ + tan θ)

∴ (sec θ – cos θ) (cot θ + tan θ) = tan θ. sec θ

v. L.H.S. = cot θ + tan θ

∴ cot θ + tan θ = cosec θ.sec θ

vii. L.H.S. = sin4θ – cos4θ
= (sin2θ)2– (cos2θ)2
= (sin2θ + cos2θ) (sin2θ – cos2θ)
= (1) (sin2θ – cos2θ) ….[∵ sin2θ + cos2θ = 1]
= sin2θ – cos2θ
= (1 – cos2θ) – cos2θ …[θ sin2θ = 1 – cos2θ]
= 1 – 2 cos2θ
= R.H.S.
∴ sin4θ – cos4θ = 1 – 2 cos2θ

viii. L.H.S. = sec θ + tan θ

xi. L.H.S. = sec4A (1 – sin4A) – 2 tan2A
= sec4A [12– (sin2A)2] – 2 tan2A
= sec4A (1 – sin2A) (1 + sin2A) – 2 tan2A
= sec4A cos2A (1 + sin2A) – 2 tan2A
[ ∵ sin2θ + cos2θ = 1,∵ 1 – sin2θ = cos2θ]
