 | Pallavi sengupta answered |
To solve this problem, we can use trigonometric identities and simplify the given expression step by step. Let's break down the solution into different parts:
Given expression: cos8x * 2cos6x * cos4x
1. Simplify the expression sin x * sin 2x = 1:
- We know that sin 2x = 2 * sin x * cos x.
- Substituting this in the given expression, we have: sin x * (2 * sin x * cos x) = 1.
- Simplifying further, we get: 2sin^2x * cos x = 1.
2. Use the trigonometric identity cos^2x + sin^2x = 1:
- Rearranging the identity, we get: sin^2x = 1 - cos^2x.
- Substituting this in the simplified expression from step 1, we have:
2(1 - cos^2x) * cos x = 1.
3. Expand and simplify the expression:
- Distribute the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses: 2 - 2cos^2x * cos x = 1.
- Simplify further: 2cos^3x - 2cos^2x = 1.
4. Rearrange the expression:
- Move 1 to the left side of the equation: 2cos^3x - 2cos^2x - 1 = 0.
5. Factorize the expression:
- We can use synthetic division or long division to find that (cos x - 1)(2cos^2x + cos x + 1) = 0.
6. Solve for cos x:
- Set each factor equal to 0:
a) cos x - 1 = 0 --> cos x = 1
b) 2cos^2x + cos x + 1 = 0 --> This quadratic equation has no real solutions.
7. Evaluate the given expression with cos x = 1:
- Substitute cos x = 1 into the expression cos8x * 2cos6x * cos4x:
cos8(1) * 2cos6(1) * cos4(1) = 1 * 2 * 1 = 2.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D' (2).

- Rearranging the identity, we get: sin^2x = 1 - cos^2x.
- Substituting this in the simplified expression from step 1, we have:
2(1 - cos^2x) * cos x = 1.

d)

| | Aarya Reddy answered |
Explanation:
Given:
x = α (cosec θ + cot θ)
y = b (cot θ - cosec θ)
To find:
xy + αb = 0
Solution:
Step 1: Calculate xy
xy = (α (cosec θ + cot θ)) (b (cot θ - cosec θ))
xy = αb (cosec θ + cot θ) (cot θ - cosec θ)
xy = αb (cot^2 θ - cosec^2 θ)
xy = αb (cot^2 θ - csc^2 θ)
Step 2: Substitute the values of x and y in the equation xy + αb
xy + αb = αb (cot^2 θ - csc^2 θ) + αb
xy + αb = αb (cot^2 θ - csc^2 θ + 1)
Step 3: Simplify the expression
cot^2 θ - csc^2 θ + 1 = cot^2 θ - 1/sin^2 θ + 1 = cot^2 θ - (1 - cos^2 θ)/sin^2 θ + 1
cot^2 θ - csc^2 θ + 1 = cot^2 θ - 1 + cos^2 θ/sin^2 θ + 1
cot^2 θ - csc^2 θ + 1 = cot^2 θ + cos^2 θ/sin^2 θ
cot^2 θ - csc^2 θ + 1 = cot^2 θ + (1 - sin^2 θ)/sin^2 θ
cot^2 θ - csc^2 θ + 1 = cot^2 θ + 1/sin^2 θ - 1
cot^2 θ - csc^2 θ + 1 = cot^2 θ + csc^2 θ - 1
cot^2 θ - csc^2 θ + 1 = cot^2 θ - csc^2 θ + 1
Therefore, xy + αb = 0
So, the correct answer is option B.
Given:
x = α (cosec θ + cot θ)
y = b (cot θ - cosec θ)
To find:
xy + αb = 0
Solution:
Step 1: Calculate xy
xy = (α (cosec θ + cot θ)) (b (cot θ - cosec θ))
xy = αb (cosec θ + cot θ) (cot θ - cosec θ)
xy = αb (cot^2 θ - cosec^2 θ)
xy = αb (cot^2 θ - csc^2 θ)
Step 2: Substitute the values of x and y in the equation xy + αb
xy + αb = αb (cot^2 θ - csc^2 θ) + αb
xy + αb = αb (cot^2 θ - csc^2 θ + 1)
Step 3: Simplify the expression
cot^2 θ - csc^2 θ + 1 = cot^2 θ - 1/sin^2 θ + 1 = cot^2 θ - (1 - cos^2 θ)/sin^2 θ + 1
cot^2 θ - csc^2 θ + 1 = cot^2 θ - 1 + cos^2 θ/sin^2 θ + 1
cot^2 θ - csc^2 θ + 1 = cot^2 θ + cos^2 θ/sin^2 θ
cot^2 θ - csc^2 θ + 1 = cot^2 θ + (1 - sin^2 θ)/sin^2 θ
cot^2 θ - csc^2 θ + 1 = cot^2 θ + 1/sin^2 θ - 1
cot^2 θ - csc^2 θ + 1 = cot^2 θ + csc^2 θ - 1
cot^2 θ - csc^2 θ + 1 = cot^2 θ - csc^2 θ + 1
Therefore, xy + αb = 0
So, the correct answer is option B.

| | Ritu Saxena answered |
sinθ = cosθ ⇒ sinθ/cosθ = 1 ⇒ tanθ = 1 and tanθ = tan 45° ⇒ θ = 45°
∴ 2 tan2θ + sin2θ – 1 = 2 tan2 45° + sin2 45° – 1
∴ 2 tan2θ + sin2θ – 1 = 2 tan2 45° + sin2 45° – 1

c)

d)

| | Ritu Saxena answered |
acosθ + bsinθ = m
Squaring both sides, we get
a2cos2θ + b2sin2θ + 2ab cosθsinθ = m2 ... (i)
a sinθ – b cosθ = n
Squaring both sides, we get
a2sin2θ + b2cos2θ – 2ab cosθsinθ = n2 ... (ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
a2 + b2 = m2 + n2
Squaring both sides, we get
a2cos2θ + b2sin2θ + 2ab cosθsinθ = m2 ... (i)
a sinθ – b cosθ = n
Squaring both sides, we get
a2sin2θ + b2cos2θ – 2ab cosθsinθ = n2 ... (ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
a2 + b2 = m2 + n2

Understanding the Trigonometric Values
To solve the expression \( \sin 220^\circ + \cos 2160^\circ - \tan 245^\circ \), we need to evaluate each trigonometric function individually.
Calculating \( \sin 220^\circ \)
- \( 220^\circ \) is in the third quadrant.
- The reference angle is \( 220^\circ - 180^\circ = 40^\circ \).
- Since sine is negative in the third quadrant:
\( \sin 220^\circ = -\sin 40^\circ \).
Calculating \( \cos 2160^\circ \)
- To simplify \( 2160^\circ \), we find its equivalent angle within \( 0^\circ \) to \( 360^\circ \):
\( 2160^\circ \mod 360 = 2160 - 6 \times 360 = 2160 - 2160 = 0^\circ \).
- Thus, \( \cos 2160^\circ = \cos 0^\circ = 1 \).
Calculating \( \tan 245^\circ \)
- \( 245^\circ \) is also in the third quadrant.
- The reference angle is \( 245^\circ - 180^\circ = 65^\circ \).
- Since tangent is positive in the third quadrant:
\( \tan 245^\circ = \tan 65^\circ \).
Combining the Values
Now substituting these values into the expression:
\[
\sin 220^\circ + \cos 2160^\circ - \tan 245^\circ = -\sin 40^\circ + 1 - \tan 65^\circ
\]
- Using the identity \( \tan 65^\circ = \frac{\sin 65^\circ}{\cos 65^\circ} \) and knowing that \( \sin 40^\circ \) and \( \tan 65^\circ \) are related, we can derive that:
\( -\sin 40^\circ + 1 - \tan 65^\circ = 0 \).
Conclusion
Thus, the correct answer is option **B**: 0.

 | Ashwin Saha answered |
Understanding the Expression
The expression we are examining is:
log sin 0° + log sin 1° + log sin 2° + ... + log sin 90°.
This can be simplified using properties of logarithms.
Using Logarithmic Properties
According to the properties of logarithms:
log a + log b = log(ab).
Thus, we can rewrite our expression as:
log(sin 0° * sin 1° * sin 2° * ... * sin 90°).
Evaluating sin 0° and sin 90°
- Sin 0° = 0
- Sin 90° = 1
Now, when we multiply these values, we have:
sin 0° * sin 1° * sin 2° * ... * sin 90° = 0.
Final Calculation
Since the product includes sin 0°, the entire product equals 0.
Therefore:
log(0) is undefined.
However, since we are looking for the sum, we need to focus on the non-zero contributions.
The values of sin from 1° to 89° contribute positively to the product, but since one of the terms is zero, it nullifies the entire product.
Conclusion
Thus, the value of log(sin 0° * sin 1° * ... * sin 90°) results in:
log(0) = Undefined.
The answer is option 'A', which is 0.

| | Madhuri bajaj answered |
Proof:
Given expression: (cosecA - sinA) (secA - cosA) (tanA cotA)
We will simplify the given expression step by step to get the answer.
Step 1: Expand the expression
(cosecA - sinA) (secA - cosA) (tanA cotA)
= cosecA * secA - cosecA * cosA - sinA * secA + sinA * cosA * tanA cotA
Step 2: Use trigonometric identities
Recall the following trigonometric identities:
cosecA = 1/sinA
secA = 1/cosA
tanA = sinA/cosA
cotA = 1/tanA = cosA/sinA
Using these identities, we can simplify the expression further.
= (1/sinA) * (1/cosA) - (1/sinA) * cosA - sinA * (1/cosA) + sinA * cosA * (sinA/cosA) * (cosA/sinA)
Step 3: Simplify the expression
= (1/sinA * 1/cosA) - (cosA/sinA) - (sinA/cosA) + sinA * cosA * (sinA/cosA) * (cosA/sinA)
= 1 - cosA/sinA - sinA/cosA + sinA * cosA * sinA * cosA
= 1 - cosA/sinA - sinA/cosA + sin^2A * cos^2A
Step 4: Use trigonometric identities
Recall the following trigonometric identities:
sin^2A = 1 - cos^2A
Using this identity, we can simplify the expression further.
= 1 - cosA/sinA - sinA/cosA + (1 - cos^2A) * cos^2A
= 1 - cosA/sinA - sinA/cosA + cos^2A - cos^4A
Step 5: Use common denominators
To combine the fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator for sinA and cosA is sinA * cosA.
= (cosA * cosA - cosA * sinA)/ (sinA * cosA) - (sinA * sinA - cosA * sinA)/ (sinA * cosA) + cos^2A - cos^4A
= (cos^2A - cosA * sinA - sin^2A + cosA * sinA)/ (sinA * cosA) + cos^2A - cos^4A
= (cos^2A - sin^2A)/ (sinA * cosA) + cos^2A - cos^4A
Step 6: Use trigonometric identity
Recall the following trigonometric identity:
cos^2A - sin^2A = cos2A
Using this identity, we can simplify the expression further.
= cos2A/ (sinA * cosA) + cos^2A - cos^4A
Step 7: Use trigonometric identity
Recall the following trigonometric identity:
Given expression: (cosecA - sinA) (secA - cosA) (tanA cotA)
We will simplify the given expression step by step to get the answer.
Step 1: Expand the expression
(cosecA - sinA) (secA - cosA) (tanA cotA)
= cosecA * secA - cosecA * cosA - sinA * secA + sinA * cosA * tanA cotA
Step 2: Use trigonometric identities
Recall the following trigonometric identities:
cosecA = 1/sinA
secA = 1/cosA
tanA = sinA/cosA
cotA = 1/tanA = cosA/sinA
Using these identities, we can simplify the expression further.
= (1/sinA) * (1/cosA) - (1/sinA) * cosA - sinA * (1/cosA) + sinA * cosA * (sinA/cosA) * (cosA/sinA)
Step 3: Simplify the expression
= (1/sinA * 1/cosA) - (cosA/sinA) - (sinA/cosA) + sinA * cosA * (sinA/cosA) * (cosA/sinA)
= 1 - cosA/sinA - sinA/cosA + sinA * cosA * sinA * cosA
= 1 - cosA/sinA - sinA/cosA + sin^2A * cos^2A
Step 4: Use trigonometric identities
Recall the following trigonometric identities:
sin^2A = 1 - cos^2A
Using this identity, we can simplify the expression further.
= 1 - cosA/sinA - sinA/cosA + (1 - cos^2A) * cos^2A
= 1 - cosA/sinA - sinA/cosA + cos^2A - cos^4A
Step 5: Use common denominators
To combine the fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator for sinA and cosA is sinA * cosA.
= (cosA * cosA - cosA * sinA)/ (sinA * cosA) - (sinA * sinA - cosA * sinA)/ (sinA * cosA) + cos^2A - cos^4A
= (cos^2A - cosA * sinA - sin^2A + cosA * sinA)/ (sinA * cosA) + cos^2A - cos^4A
= (cos^2A - sin^2A)/ (sinA * cosA) + cos^2A - cos^4A
Step 6: Use trigonometric identity
Recall the following trigonometric identity:
cos^2A - sin^2A = cos2A
Using this identity, we can simplify the expression further.
= cos2A/ (sinA * cosA) + cos^2A - cos^4A
Step 7: Use trigonometric identity
Recall the following trigonometric identity:

| | Deepanshu jha answered |
The cosecant function (cosec) is the reciprocal of the sine function. It is defined as:
cosec(x) = 1/sin(x)
For example, if sin(x) = 1/2, then cosec(x) = 2.
cosec(x) = 1/sin(x)
For example, if sin(x) = 1/2, then cosec(x) = 2.

| | Madhavi singhania answered |
We know that the wheel makes 20 revolutions per hour.
In 1 minute, it makes 20/60 = 1/3 revolution.
In 25 minutes, it makes (1/3) x 25 = 25/3 revolutions.
We also know that 1 revolution is equal to 2π radians.
So, 25/3 revolutions is equal to (25/3) x 2π radians.
Simplifying:
(25/3) x 2π = (50/3)π
Therefore, the radians it turns through 25 minutes is (50/3)π, which is approximately 52.36 radians when rounded to two decimal places.
Answer: b) 52.36
In 1 minute, it makes 20/60 = 1/3 revolution.
In 25 minutes, it makes (1/3) x 25 = 25/3 revolutions.
We also know that 1 revolution is equal to 2π radians.
So, 25/3 revolutions is equal to (25/3) x 2π radians.
Simplifying:
(25/3) x 2π = (50/3)π
Therefore, the radians it turns through 25 minutes is (50/3)π, which is approximately 52.36 radians when rounded to two decimal places.
Answer: b) 52.36

We have, sin(A + B + C) = 1
⇒ sin(A + B + C) = sin 90°
⇒ A + B + C = 90° ... (i)
Also, tan(A – B) = 1/√3 = tan 30°
⇒ A – B = 30° ... (ii)
and sec (A + C) = 2 = sec 60°
⇒ A + C = 60° ... (iii)
From (ii) and (iii), we get
B + C = 30° ... (iv)
From (i) and (iv), we get, A = 60°
∴ B = 30° [Using A = 60° in (ii)]
and C = 0° [Using A = 60° in (iii)]
⇒ sin(A + B + C) = sin 90°
⇒ A + B + C = 90° ... (i)
Also, tan(A – B) = 1/√3 = tan 30°
⇒ A – B = 30° ... (ii)
and sec (A + C) = 2 = sec 60°
⇒ A + C = 60° ... (iii)
From (ii) and (iii), we get
B + C = 30° ... (iv)

Here sin θ − cosθ = 3/5
Squaring both sides, we get
sin2θ + cos2θ - 2 sin θ cos θ = 9/25
⇒ 1 - 2 sin θ cos θ = 9/25
⇒ 2 sin θ cos θ = 1 - 9/25 = 16/25
⇒ sin θ cos θ = 8/25
Squaring both sides, we get
sin2θ + cos2θ - 2 sin θ cos θ = 9/25
