= 3[sin2 x + cos2 x – 2 sin x cos x]2 + 6(sin2 x + cos2 x + 2 sin x cos x) + 4 [(sin2 x)3 + (cos2 x)3]
= 3[1 – 2 sin x cos x]2 + 6(1 + 2 sin x cos x) + 4[(sin2 x + cos2 x)3 – 3 sinx cos2 x (sin2 x + cos2 x)]
= 3[1 + 4 sinx cos2 x – 4 sin x cos x] + 6(1 + 2 sin x cos x) + 4[1 – 3 sin2 x cos2 x]
= 3 + 12 sin2 x cos2 x – 12 sin x cos x + 6 + 12 sin x cos x + 4 – 12 sin2 x cos2 x
= 3 + 6 + 4 = 13

FAQs on NCERT Exemplar: Trigonometric Functions - Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced

1. What are trigonometric functions?
Ans. Trigonometric functions are mathematical functions that relate the angles of a triangle to the lengths of its sides. They include sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, and cotangent.
2. How are trigonometric functions used in real life?
Ans. Trigonometric functions are used in various real-life applications such as engineering, architecture, navigation, physics, and computer graphics. They help in calculating distances, angles, heights, and solving problems related to waves, vibrations, and periodic phenomena.
3. What is the unit circle in trigonometry?
Ans. The unit circle is a circle with a radius of 1 unit, centered at the origin of a coordinate system. It is widely used in trigonometry to define the values of trigonometric functions for any angle. The coordinates on the unit circle correspond to the cosine and sine values of the angles.
4. How do trigonometric functions relate to right triangles?
Ans. Trigonometric functions are primarily defined and used in right triangles. In a right triangle, the sine of an angle is the ratio of the length of the side opposite the angle to the hypotenuse. The cosine is the ratio of the length of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse, and the tangent is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side.
5. How are trigonometric functions related to periodicity?
Ans. Trigonometric functions are periodic functions, meaning they repeat their values after a certain interval. For example, the sine and cosine functions have a period of 2π radians or 360 degrees. This periodicity is essential in analyzing and modeling periodic phenomena like waves, sound, and oscillations.
