⇒ sec2θ + tan2θ = 3 tanθ
⇒ 2tan2θ-3tanθ+1=0 [∵ sec2θ = 1+ tan2θ]
Let, tanθ = x, so above equation becomes 2x2- 3x + 1

Ans. 2x, 1/2x

=1-3sin2Acos2A + 3sin2 Acos2 A+4=5 \(\left[\because \sin ^2 A+\cos ^2 A=1\right]\)
Ans. k=5
6.
\(\mathrm{LHS}=\frac{\cot \theta+\operatorname{cosec} \theta-1}{\cot \theta-\operatorname{cosec} \theta+1}\)
\(=\frac{(\cot \theta+\operatorname{cosec} \theta)-\left(\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta-\cot ^2 \theta\right)}{\cot \theta-\operatorname{cosec} \theta+1}\) \(\left[\because \operatorname{cosec}^2 A-\cot ^2 A=1\right]\)
\(=\frac{(\operatorname{cosec} \theta+\cot \theta)\{1-(\operatorname{cosec} \theta-\cot \theta)\}}{\cot \theta-\operatorname{cosec} \theta+1}\)
\(=\frac{(\operatorname{cosec} \theta+\cot \theta)(1-\operatorname{cosec} \theta+\cot \theta)}{\cot \theta-\operatorname{cosec} \theta+1}\)
\(=\operatorname{cosec} \theta+\cot \theta=\frac{1}{\sin \theta}+\frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}=\frac{1+\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}=\mathrm{RHS}\)
7.
Given, asecθ + btanθ = m ..(i)
and bsecθ +atanθ =n ..(ii)
On squaring and subtracting Eqs. (1) and (ii), we get
(asecθ+btanθ)2 -(bsecθ + atanθ)2 =m2-n2
⇒ a2sec2 θ+b2 tan2θ +2absecθ tanθ - b²sec2 θ-a2tan2θ-2absecθ tanθ =m2-n2
⇒ a2(sec2θ - tan2θ)-b2 (sec θ - tan² θ)=m²-n2
⇒ a2-b2 =m² - n2\(\left[\because \sec ^2-\tan ^2 \theta=1\right]\)
⇒ \(a^2+n^2=m^2+b^2\) Hence proved.
8.
Given, cosθ + sinθ = 1
(cosθ + sinθ)2 + (cosθ - sinθ)2
⇒ (1)2 +(cos θ -sinθ)2=2 [∵ cosθ + sinθ = 1(given)]
⇒ (cos θ -sinθ) =2-1
⇒ (cos θ -sinθ) = 1
⇒ (cos θ -sinθ) = ±1
Hence proved.
9.
\(\mathrm{LHS}=\sqrt{\frac{\sec A-1}{\sec A+1}}+\sqrt{\frac{\sec A+1}{\sec A-1}}\)
\(=\frac{\sec A-1+\sec A+1}{\sqrt{(\sec A+1)(\sec A-1)}}\)
\(=\frac{2 \sec A}{\sqrt{\sec ^2 A-1}}\)
\(=\frac{2 \sec A}{\sqrt{\tan ^2 A}}\) \(\left[\because \sec ^2 \theta-\tan ^2 \theta=1\right]\)
\(=\frac{2 \sec A}{\tan A}=2 \times \frac{1}{\cos A} \times \frac{\cos A}{\sin A}\)
=2 cosecA
=RHS
Hence proved.
10.
\(\mathrm{LHS}=\frac{1+\sec A}{\sec A}=\frac{1+\frac{1}{\cos A}}{\frac{1}{\cos A}}\)
= \(\frac{\cos A+1}{\cos A} \times \cos A=\cos A+1\)
\(\mathrm{RHS}=\frac{\sin ^2 A}{1-\cos A}=\frac{1-\cos ^2 A}{1-\cos A}\) [∵ sin2θ+ cos2 θ=1]
\(=\frac{(1+\cos A)(1-\cos A)}{1-\cos A}=1+\cos A\)
∴ LHS=RHS Hence proved.
11.
We have, sin \((A+2 B)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\sin 60^{\circ}\) \(\left[\because \sin 60^{\circ}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right]\)
⇒ A+2B = 60° ...(i)
Again, cos(A + 4B) = 0°= cos 90° [∵ cos 90°= 0]
⇒ A+ 4B = 90° ...(ii)
On subtracting Eq. (i)from Eq. (ii), we get
A+4B-A-2B = 90°-60°⇒2B=30°⇒B= 15°
On substituting B = 15° in Eq. (i), we get
A+2 x 15° = 60°⇒A+30°=60°⇒A=60° -30°=30°
Hence, A=30° and B= 15°
12.
We have,
\(8 \sqrt{3} \operatorname{cosec}^2 30^{\circ}\) sin 60° cos 60° cos 45° sin 45° tan 30° cosec3 45°
\(=8 \sqrt{3}\) (cosec 30°)2sin60°-cos 60°(cos45°)2sin45° tan30° (cosec 45°)3
\(=8 \sqrt{3}(2)^2 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2} \times\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2 \times\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right) \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \times(\sqrt{2})^3\)
\(\begin{array}{r} \because \operatorname{cosec} 30^{\circ}=2, \sin 60^{\circ}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \cos 60^{\circ}=\frac{1}{2}, \\ \left.\sin 45^{\circ}=\cos 45^{\circ}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \tan 30^{\circ}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \text { and } \operatorname{cosec} 45^{\circ}=\sqrt{2}\right] \end{array}\)
\(=8 \sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \times 2 \sqrt{2}=8 \sqrt{3}\)
13.
Given, mcot A = n
⇒ \(m \cdot \frac{1}{\tan A}=n\) \(\left[\because \cot \theta=\frac{1}{\tan \theta}\right]\)
⇒ \(\tan A=\frac{m}{n}\) ...(i)
Now, \(\frac{m \sin A-n \cos A}{n \cos A+m \sin A}=\frac{m \cdot \frac{\sin A}{\cos A}-n}{n+m \cdot \frac{\sin A}{\cos A}}\)
[dividing numerator and denominator by cos A]
\(=\frac{m \tan A-n}{n+m \tan A}=\frac{m \cdot \frac{m}{n}-n}{n+m \cdot \frac{m}{n}}\) [from Eq. (i)]
\(=\frac{\frac{m^2-n^2}{n}}{\frac{n^2+m^2}{n}}\)
\(=\frac{m^2-n^2}{m^2+n^2}\)
14.
Given, a △ PQR in which 2Q=90° and QR=3 cm.
Also, PR-PQ =1
On applying Pythagoras theorem in △ PQR, we get
PR2 PQ2 + QR2
⇒ QR2 = PR2-PQ2
⇒ (3)2 = PR2- PQ2 [given QR =3cm]
⇒ PR2-PQ2 =9
⇒ (PR+PQ) (PR-PQ)=9 [∵ a2 - b2 = (a +b) (a - b)]
⇒ (PR+ PQ) (1)=9 [from Eq. (1)]
⇒ PR+ PQ=9 ...(ii)
On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
PR-PQ+PR+PQ=1+9
⇒ 2PR= 10 ⇒ R=5 cm
On substituting PR =5 cm in Eq. (i), we get
5-PQ= 1 ⇒ Q= 4 cm
∴ PR=5 cm and PQ= 4 cm
Now, sinR = \(=\frac{P Q}{P R}=\frac{4}{5}, \cos R=\frac{Q R}{P R}=\frac{3}{5} \text { and } \tan R=\frac{P Q}{Q R}=\frac{4}{3}\)
15.
Given, a △ ABC in which \(\angle B\)=90°.

\(\text { In } \triangle A B C, \tan A=\frac{\text { Perpendicular }}{\text { Base }}=\frac{B C}{A B}=1\) [given]
⇒ BC=AB
Let AB= BC= k, where k is a positive number.
Now, \(A C=\sqrt{A B^2+B C^2}\) [by Pythagoras theorem]
\(=\sqrt{(k)^2+(k)^2}=k \sqrt{2}\)
∴ \(\sin A=\frac{\text { Perpendicular }}{\text { Hypotenuse }}=\frac{B C}{A C}=\frac{k}{\sqrt{2 k}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
and \(\cos A=\frac{\text { Base }}{\text { Hypotenuse }}=\frac{A B}{A C}\)
\(=\frac{k}{\sqrt{2} k}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
Now, 2sinAcosA = \(\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)=1\) Hence proved,
16.
Hint Put the value of p in RHS of given equality and simplify to obtain it equal to LHS.
17.
Hint Given, cosecθ - sinθ = m
and secθ - cosθ = n
⇒ \(\frac{1}{\sin \theta}-\sin \theta=m \text { and } \frac{1}{\cos \theta}-\cos \theta=n\)
⇒ \(\frac{1-\sin ^2 \theta}{\sin \theta}=m \text { and } \frac{1-\cos ^2 \theta}{\cos \theta}=n\)
⇒ \(\frac{\cos ^2 \theta}{\sin \theta}=m \text { and } \frac{\sin ^2 \theta}{\cos \theta}=n\)
Now, put the values of m and n in LHS of given equation.
18.
Hint Let LHS= \(\frac{\left[1+\frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}+\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}\right](\sin \theta-\cos \theta)}{\frac{1}{\cos ^3 \theta}-\frac{1}{\sin ^3 \theta}}\)
\(=\frac{(\sin \theta \cos \theta+1) \sin ^3 \theta \cdot \cos ^3 \theta}{\sin \theta \cos \theta \cdot\left(\sin ^3 \theta-\cos ^3 \theta\right)}(\sin \theta-\cos \theta)\)
19.
Given, \(\frac{1}{\sin \theta-\cos \theta}=\frac{\operatorname{cosec} \theta}{\sqrt{2}}\)
On squaring both sides, we get
\(\frac{1}{\sin ^2 \theta+\cos ^2 \theta-2 \sin \theta \cos \theta}=\frac{\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta}{2}\) [∵ (a-b)2=a2+b2 - 2ab]
⇒ \(\frac{1}{1-2 \sin \theta \cos \theta}=\frac{\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta}{-1}\) [∵ sin²θ++cos²θ= 1]
⇒ \(\frac{2}{\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta}=1-2 \sin \theta \cos \theta\)
⇒ 2cosθsinθ = 1-2sin2θ
⇒ 2cosθsinθ = sin2θ+ cos2θ - 2sin2θ
⇒ 2cosθsinθ = cos2θ - 2sin2θ [∵ sin2θ = 1 - cos2θ]
=2cos2θ-1
⇒ 2cos2θ=1+2sinθcosθ
⇒ \(\frac{2}{\sec ^2 \theta}=1+2 \sin \theta \cos \theta\)
⇒ \(\frac{\sec ^2 \theta}{2}=\frac{1}{\sin ^2 \theta+\cos ^2 \theta+2 \sin \theta \cos \theta}\)
⇒ \(\frac{\sec ^2 \theta}{2}=\frac{1}{(\sin \theta+\cos \theta)^2}\) Hence proved.
20.
To prove \(\frac{\sin A-2 \sin ^3 A}{2 \cos ^3 A-\cos A}=\tan A\)
\(\text { Let LHS }=\frac{\sin A-2 \sin ^3 A}{2 \cos ^3 A-\cos A}=\frac{\sin A\left(1-2 \sin ^2 A\right)}{\cos A\left(2 \cos ^2 A-1\right)}\)
\(=\frac{\sin A\left(\sin ^2 A+\cos ^2 A-2 \sin ^2 A\right)}{\cos A\left(2 \cos ^2 A-\left(\sin ^2 A+\cos ^2 A\right)\right)}\) [∵ sin2A+ cos2A= 1]
\(=\frac{\sin A\left(\cos ^2 A-\sin ^2 A\right)}{\cos A\left(\cos ^2 A-\sin ^2 A\right)}\)
= tanA= RHS Hence proved
21.
Given, tanθ+sinθ =m ...(i)
and tanθ-sinθ =n ...(ii)
On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
\(2 \tan \theta=m+n \Rightarrow \tan \theta=\frac{m+n}{2}\)
∴ \(\cot \theta=\frac{1}{\tan \theta}=\frac{2}{m+n}\) ...(iii)
On subtracting Eq. (ii) from Eq. (i), we get
2sinθ = m-n
⇒ \(\sin \theta=\frac{m-n}{2}\)
∴ \(\operatorname{cosec} \theta=\frac{1}{\sin \theta}=\frac{2}{m-n}\) ...(iv)
We know that cosec2θ- cot2θ =1
⇒ \(\left(\frac{2}{m-n}\right)^2-\left(\frac{2}{m+n}\right)^2=1\) [from Eqs. (ii) and (iv)]
⇒ \(\frac{4}{(m-n)^2}-\frac{4}{(m+n)^2}=1\)
⇒ \(4\left[\frac{1}{(m-n)^2}-\frac{1}{(m+n)^2}\right]=1\)
⇒ \(4\left[\frac{(m+n)^2-(m-n)^2}{(m-n)^2(m+n)^2}\right]=1\)
⇒ \(4\left[\frac{\left(m^2+n^2+2 m n\right)-\left(m^2+n^2-2 m n\right)}{(m-n)^2(m+n)^2}\right]=1\) \(\left[\because(A \pm B)^2=A^2+B^2 \pm 2 A B\right]\)
⇒ \(4\left[\frac{2 m n+2 m n}{(m-n)^2(m+n)^2}\right]=1\)
⇒ \(\frac{16 m n}{[(m-n)(m+n)]^2}=1\)
⇒ \(\frac{16 m n}{\left(m^2-n^2\right)^2}=1\)
⇒ (m2-n2)2 = 16mn
∴ \(\left(m^2-n^2\right)=4 \sqrt{m n}\) [taking positive square root]
Hence proved.
22.
We have, cos4A-sin4A
=(cos2 A + sin2 A)(cos²A- sin2 A)
=(cos2A- sin2A) (∵ sin²θ+ cos2θ = 1]
= cos2A -(l- cos2A) =2cos2A-1
23.
Given, in △ PQR,
\(\angle Q=90^{\circ}\)
and \(\angle P=45^{\circ}\)
So, \(\angle R=180^{\circ}-(P+Q),\)
\(\angle R=180^{\circ}-\left(90^{\circ}+45^{\circ}\right)\)
\(\text { and } \angle R=45^{\circ}\) \(\text { So, } \tan P-\cos ^2 R=\tan 45^{\circ}-\cos ^2 45^{\circ}\left[\begin{array}{l} \because \tan 45^{\circ}=1 \text { and } \\ \cos 45^{\circ}=1 / \sqrt{2} \end{array}\right]\)
\(=1-\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2\)
∴ tanP- cos² R = 1/2

24.
Given, 0 = 45° and 0° \(\leq \alpha \leq 90^{\circ}\)
Now, we have
tan20+ cot2∝=2
⇒ tan2 45°+ cot2∝=2 [putting 0=45°]
⇒ 1+cot2∝=2
⇒ cot2∝=2-1
⇒ cot∝=1
⇒ cot∝ = cot 45°
⇒ ∝ = 45° \(\left[\because 0^{\circ} \leq \alpha \leq 90^{\circ}\right]\)
25.
If θ = 45°, then tanθ+ cotθ = 2
Now, sin3 45°+ cos3 45° [∵θ = 45°]
\(=\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^3+\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^3\)
\(=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}}=\frac{2}{2 \sqrt{2}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\)
26.
Given, cos(∝+β) = 0
⇒ cos(∝+β) = cos90° [ cos90°= 0]
⇒ ∝+β = 90°
∴ \(\cos \left(\frac{\alpha+\beta}{2}\right)=\cos \left(\frac{90^{\circ}}{2}\right)\)
= cos 45°
\(=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
27.
Hint sin B = \(\frac{1}{4}=\frac{\text { Perpendicular }}{\text { Hypotenuse }}\)

28.
\(\text { Given, } \tan A=\frac{3}{4}\)
In right angled △ ABC
AB = 4 and BC=3

By Pythagoras theorem
AC2 = AC2 + BC2
⇒ AC2 = (4)2 + (3)2
⇒ AC2 =16+9
⇒ AC=5 [neglecting-ve sign]
∴ \(\sec A=\frac{A C}{A B}=\frac{5}{4}\)
\(\text { Now, } \frac{\left(\sin ^2 A+\cos ^2 A\right)}{\sec A}=\frac{1}{5}=\frac{4}{5}\)
[∵ sin2 A+ cos2A =1]

\(=\left[\frac{(\cos \theta+\sin \theta)+1}{\cos \theta}\right] \times\left[\frac{(\sin \theta+\cos \theta)-1}{\sin \theta}\right]\)
\(=\frac{(\cos \theta+\sin \theta)^2-1^2}{\cos \theta \sin \theta}\) [∵(a + b) (a - b) =a2 - b2]
\(=\frac{\cos ^2 \theta+\sin ^2 \theta+2 \cos \theta \sin \theta-1}{\cos \theta \sin \theta}\)
[∵ (a+ b)²=a2+b² + 2ab]
\(=\frac{1+2 \cos \theta \sin \theta-1}{\cos \theta \sin \theta}\) [∵cos2A+sin2 A= 1]
\(=\frac{2 \cos \theta \sin \theta}{\cos \theta \sin \theta}=2\)
