Solution:

θ = 18^o ⇒ 5 θ = 90^o ⇒ 2 θ + 3 θ = 90^o ⇒ 2 θ = 90^o - 3 θ

Now taking sin on both side we get

Sin (2 θ) = Sin (90^o - 3 θ) Sin (2 θ) = Cos (3 θ)

2Sin θ cos θ = 4Cos³ θ – 3cos θ 2Sin θ = 4Cos² θ – 3

2Sin θ = 4(1-sin² θ) – 3

4 sin² θ + 2sin θ – 1 = 0

Now using quadratic formula here and find the value of sin θ

$\frac{sec8A-1}{sec4A-1}=\frac{1-cos8A}{cos8A}\times \frac{cos4A}{1-cos4A}$

$=\frac{2sin^{2}4A.\: cos4A}{cos8A.\: 2sin^{2}2A}=\frac{(2sin4A\: cos4A)sin4A}{cos8A.\: 2sin^{2}2A}\$

$=\left (\frac{sin8A}{cos8A} \right ).\frac{2sin2Acos2A}{2sin^{2}A}=\frac{tan8A}{tan4A}$

Question 29

If tan x + tan y + tan x tan y = 1, find (x + y).

Ans: x + y = 45^o

Solution Hint:

tan x + tan y = 1-tan x tan y

Dividing on both side by 1-tanx tany we get

$\frac{tanx+tany}{1-tanxtany}=1=tan45^{o}$

tan(x + y) = tan 45^o ⇒ x + y = 45^o

$=\frac{1}{2}\left [2cos\theta.\; cos\frac{\theta }{2}-2cos3\theta.\; cos\frac{9\theta }{2} \right ]$

$=\frac{1}{2}\left [ cos\left ( \theta +\frac{\theta }{2} \right )+cos\left ( \theta -\frac{\theta }{2} \right ) \right ]- \frac{1}{2}\left [ cos\left ( 3\theta +\frac{9\theta }{2} \right )+cos\left ( 3\theta -\frac{9\theta }{2} \right ) \right ]\$

$=\frac{1}{2}\left [ cos\left (\frac{3\theta }{2} \right )+cos\left (\frac{\theta }{2} \right )-cos\left (\frac{15\theta }{2} \right )-cos\left (\frac{3\theta }{2} \right ) \right ]\$

$=\frac{1}{2}\left [ cos\left (\frac{\theta }{2} \right )-cos\left (\frac{15\theta }{2} \right ) \right ]$

$=\frac{1}{2}\left [ -2sin\frac{1}{2}\left ( \frac{\theta +15\theta }{2} \right ).\; sin\frac{1}{2}\left ( \frac{\theta -15\theta }{2} \right ) \right ]$

$=\frac{1}{2}\left [ -2sin4\theta .\; sin\left ( \frac{-7\theta }{2} \right ) \right ]$

$=sin4\theta .\; sin\left ( \frac{7\theta }{2} \right )$

Question 35

Evaluate: $If\; cos(\alpha +\beta )=\frac{4}{5}\; and\; sin(\alpha -\beta )=\frac{5}{13}$ and

$0<\alpha <\frac{\pi }{4}, \; \; Find \; \; tan2\alpha$

Solution:

$cos(\alpha +\beta )=\frac{4}{5}\Rightarrow sin(\alpha +\beta )=\frac{3}{5}$

$sin(\alpha -\beta )=\frac{5}{13}\Rightarrow cos(\alpha -\beta )=\frac{12}{13}$

$cos[(\alpha +\beta )+(\alpha -\beta )]=cos(\alpha +\beta)cos(\alpha -\beta)-sin(\alpha +\beta)sin(\alpha -\beta)$

$cos(2\alpha )=\frac{4}{5}\times \frac{12}{13}-\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{5}{13}=\frac{33}{65}$

$sin[(\alpha +\beta )+(\alpha -\beta )]=sin(\alpha +\beta)cos(\alpha -\beta)+cos(\alpha +\beta)sin(\alpha -\beta)$

$sin(2\alpha )=\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{12}{13}+\frac{4}{5}\times \frac{5}{13}=\frac{56}{65}$

$tan(2\alpha )=\frac{sin(2\alpha )}{cos(2\alpha )}=\frac{56/65}{33/65}=\frac{56}{33}$

Question: 36

Solution Hint:

LHS = sin²α + sin²(α - β) - [sin(α + β) + sin(α - β)]sin(α - β)

= sin²α + sin²(α - β) - sin(α + β)sin(α - β) - sin²(α - β)

= sin²α - [sin²α - sin²β] ..... [Using sin(A+B)sin(A-B) = sin²A - sin²B ]

= sin²β

Question 37

If $xcos\theta =ycos\left ( \theta +\frac{2\pi }{3} \right )=zcos\left ( \theta +\frac{4\pi }{3} \right )$ , then find the value of xy + yz + zx

Let all equations = k

Now find the value of x, y, z in terms of k

Now find the value of $\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}$ , it should be '0'

Putting this value in xy + yz + zx = $\frac{xyz}{z}+\frac{xyz}{x}+\frac{xyz}{y}$

= $xyz\left [ \frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z} \right ]$

= xyz ×0 = 0

Question 39 : Prove that

$sin^{3}x+sin^{3}\left(\frac{2\pi}{3}+x\right)+sin^{3}\left(\frac{4\pi}{3}+x\right)=-\frac{3}{4}sin3x$

Solution Hint:

Using this formula: sin3x = 3sinx – 4sin³x

$\Rightarrow sin^{3}x=\frac{1}{4}[3sinx-sin3x]$

$LHS=\frac{3}{4}\left[sinx+sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{3}+x\right)+sin\left(\frac{4\pi}{3}+x\right)-sin3x\right]$

Using C, D formulas for the middle two terms we get

$LHS=\frac{3}{4}\left[sinx+2sin(\pi+x)cos\frac{\pi}{3}-sin3x\right]$

$LHS=\frac{3}{4}\left[sinx-2sin(x)\frac{1}{2}-sin3x\right]$
$LHS=\frac{3}{4}\left[sinx-sinx-sin3x\right]$
$LHS=-\frac{3}{4}sin3x=RHS$
