Eliminate \(\theta\) from the following equation. \(x=k+a\cos { \theta } ,y=h+b\sin { \theta } \)
1.
sin 670 + cos 750 = \(\sin { ({ 90 }^{ 0 }-{ 23 }^{ 0 }) } +\cos { ({ 90 }^{ 0 }-{ 15 }^{ 0 }) } \)
\(=\cos { { 23 }^{ 0 } } +\sin { { 15 }^{ 0 } } \left[ \because \sin { ({ 90 }^{ 0 }-\theta ) } =\cos { \theta } ,\cos { ({ 90 }^{ 0 }-\theta ) } =\sin { \theta } \right] \)
2.
LHS = \(\sqrt { \frac { 1+\sin { A } }{ 1-\sin { A } } \times \frac { 1+\sin { A } }{ 1+\sin { A } } } +\sqrt { \frac { 1-\sin { A } }{ 1+\sin { A } } \times \frac { 1-\sin { A } }{ 1-\sin { A } } } \)

\(=sinAcosA-sinAcosA-sinAcosA\left( \frac { sinA }{ cosecA } +\frac { cosA }{ secA } \right) \)
\(=sinAcosA-sinAcosA({ sin }^{ 2 }A+{ cos }^{ 2 }A)\)
\(=sinAcosA-sinAcosA\)
=0

\( \cos { A } =\frac { 2 }{ \sqrt { 5 } } ,\cos { B } =\frac { 3 }{ \sqrt { 10 } } \)
7.
LHS = cot A + tan A = \(\frac { \cos { A } }{ \sin { A } } +\frac { \sin { A } }{ \cos { A } } \) \(\left[ \because \cot { A } ={ \cos { A } }/{ \sin { A } },\quad \tan { A } ={ \sin { A } }/{ \cos { A } } \right] \)
\(=\frac { \cos ^{ 2 }{ A } +\sin ^{ 2 }{ A } }{ \sin { A } \cos { A } } =\frac { 1 }{ \sin { A } \cos { A } } \left[ \because \cos ^{ 2 }{ A } +\sin ^{ 2 }{ A } =1 \right] \)

\(=\cos { { (90 }^{ 0 }-{ 37 }^{ 0 }) } -\sin { { 37 }^{ 0 } } \)
\(=\sin { { 37 }^{ 0 } } -\sin { { 37 }^{ 0 } } =0\quad \left[ \because \cos { { (90 }^{ 0 }-\theta ) } =\sin { \theta } \right] \)
9.
Value of \(\tan { \theta } \) when \(\theta\) increases from 00 to 900 .
10.

Let C be the point where the ball is
ㄥC = 60° (alternate angles)
In ΔABC, \(tan\ 60^0={AB\over BC}\)
⇒ \(\sqrt3={20\over x}\)
⇒ \(x={20\over \sqrt3}\)
\(=20\left(\sqrt3\over3 \right)\)
Hence, required distance is
1 = 11.53m
11.
Let AB the tower whose height is h m.=30 m.

From ΔABC, \({AB\over BC}=tan60^0\)
\({h\over 30}=\sqrt3\)
=30√3 m
Height of tower = 30√3 m.
12.
Given AB = 4m, AC = 8 m.
Angle of elevation = ㄥACB =
From ΔABC, \({AB\over AC}=sin\theta\)
\(⇒ {4\over 8}=sin\theta\)
\(⇒ sin\theta={1\over 2}=in30^0\)
\(⇒ \theta=30^0\)
13.
From the triangle ABC
\({h\over 28.2}=tan60^0\)
h = 28.2 x tan 60°
= 28.2 x \(\sqrt3\)
= 28.2\(\sqrt3\) + 1.2m
Height ofthe tower = AC+CD
= 50 m
14.
\(2\cot ^{ 2 }{ A } -1=2\left( { cosec }^{ 2 }A-1 \right) -1\)
\(=\frac { 2 }{ \sin ^{ 2 }{ A } } -3\)
\(\left( \because \quad \cot ^{ 2 }{ \theta } =-1+{ cosec }^{ 2 }\theta \right) \)
\(=\frac { 2 }{ { \left( \frac { \sqrt { 3 } }{ 2 } \right) }^{ 2 } } -3\)
\(2\cot ^{ 2 }{ A } -1=\frac { 8 }{ 3 } -3=\frac { -1 }{ 3 } \)
15.
= sin2 41° + sin2 49°.
= sin2 (90° - 49°) + sin2 49°
= cos2 49° + sin2 49°
= 1 \(\left[ \because \quad \cos ^{ 2 }{ \theta } +\sin ^{ 2 }{ \theta } =1 \right] \)
16.
\(\frac { \cos { { 45 }^{ ° } } }{ \sec { { 30 }^{ ° } } } +\frac { 1 }{ \sec { { 60 }^{ ° } } } =\frac { \frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } } }{ \frac { 2 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } } +\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)
\(=\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } } \times \frac { \sqrt { 3 } }{ 2 } +\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)
\(=\frac { \sqrt { 6 } }{ 4 } +\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)
\(=\frac { \sqrt { 6 } +2 }{ 4 } \)
17.
= tan2 10° - cot2 80°
= tan2(90° - 80°) - cot2 80°
\(\left[ \therefore \quad \tan { \left( { 90 }^{ ° }-\theta \right) =\cot { \theta } } \right] \)
= cot2 80° - cot2 80°
= 0
18.
So, the given equation is rewritten as
\(\sqrt{3} x^{2}-4 x+\sqrt{3}=0\)
Using quadratic formula, we get
\(x=\sqrt{3}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \text { i.e. } \cot \theta=\sqrt{3}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) \(\text { of, } \tan \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}, \sqrt{3} \text { . }\)
\(\frac{10}{3}\)
19.
\(\cos { \theta } =\frac { x-k }{ a } \quad and\quad \sin { \theta } =\frac { h+b }{ y } \)
