CH-03 Trigonometric Functions

Solution

1. (b)

Explanation:

2. (a) H.P.
Explanation:
If a, b, c are in A.P then we have are also in A . P

We have

Multipling and dividing by

, we get

Similarly we can get and , where K=

We have ifa, b, c are in A.P then are in H.P

 are in are in H.P
are in H.P
3. (b)

Explanation:
In given ,
Since D divide B C in the ratio 1: 3 we can take BD=x and DC= 3x
Let AD=y
In , using Sine Rule we get

.....(i)

In , using Sine Rule we get.

......(i)

In , using Sine Rule we get

....(ii)

From(i) and (ii), we get

4. (c)

Explanation:

4 / 7
 So principal value for both and is
Hence the general solution is

5. (d)

Explanation:

6. tan 4x

7.

8. LHS

= tan 4x = RHS
Hence proved.

9. Radian measure = Degree measure

o [using o]
Now,

Radian measure =
= rad = rad.

10. sec x cos 5x + 1 = 0

cos 5x + cos x = 0
2 cos 3x cos 2x = 0 [Using identity, cos A + cos B = 2 cos cos ]
cos 3x = 0 or cos 2x = 0

5 / 7
11. LHS = 4 cos 12° cos 48° cos 72°
= 2(2 cos 12° cos 48°) cos 72°
= 2 (cos 60° + cos 36°) cos 72° [ 2 cos a cos b = cos (a+b) + cos (a-b)]
= 2 cos 60° cos 72° + 2 cos 36° cos 72°

= 2 cos 72o + cos 108o + cos 36o

= cos 72° + cos (180° - 72°) + cos 36°
= cos 72°- cos 72° + cos 36° = cos 36° = RHS

12.
[using CosA+CosB = 2cos cos ]

Either,

or
or
Thus,

13. L.H.S.
Applying sine formula, (say)

6 / 7
14. Here diameter AB = 40 cm
Radius OA = 20 cm
Chord AC = 20 cm
is an equilateral triangle

So

We know that

15. LHS = sin 30° (sin 10° sin 50°) sin 70°
LHS = (sin 50° sin 10°) sin 70°
LHS = (2 sin 50° sin 10°) sin 70°
LHS = {(2 sin 50° sin 10°) sin 70°}
LHS = [{cos (50° - 10°) - cos (50° + 10°)} sin 70°] [ 2 sin A sin B = cos (A - B) - cos
(A + B)]
LHS = [(cos 40° - cos 60°) sin 70°]
LHS = {sin 70° cos 40° - sin 70° cos 60°}
LHS = {sin 70° cos 40° - sin 70°}
LHS = {2 sin 70° cos 40° - sin 70°}
LHS = {sin (70° + 40°) + sin (70° - 40°) - sin 70°} [ 2 sin A cos B = sin (A + B) + sin
(A - B)]
LHS = {sin 110° + sin 30° - sin 70°}
LHS = {sin (180° - 70°) + sin 30° - sin 70°}
LHS = {sin 70° + - sin 70°} [ sin (180 - x) = sin x]
LHS = = RHS
