INTRODUCTION TO TRIGONOMETRY MCQs
:
C
We know that,1+tan2θ=sec2θ and 1+cot2θ=cosec2θ
11+tan2θ+11+cot2θ=1sec2θ+1cosec2θ
=cos2θ + sin2θ
=1
:
D
⇒(sinA+cosec A)2−(sinA−cosec A)2
=4sinA cosec A
as [(a+b)2−(a−b)2=4ab]
now, (sin A×cosec A=sinA×1sinA=1)
∴4.sinA cosec A=4×1=4
:
A
We know that tan 30∘=1√3.
⇒1−tan2 30∘1+tan2 30∘=1−(1√3)21+(1√3)2
=1−(13)1+(13)
=3−13+1
=24 = 12=0.5
:
C
The given expression is
(1+tanθ1+cotθ)2 =(1+tanθ1+1tanθ)2
=(1+tanθtanθ+1tanθ)2
=((tanθ)(1+tanθ)tanθ+1)2
=tan2θ
:
3sinθcosθ + cosθsinθ = 5sinθ
3sin2θ + cos2θsinθcosθ=5sinθ
3sin2θ+cos2θ=5cosθ
3(1 - cos2θ) + cos2θ = 5 cosθ
2cos2θ + 5cosθ - 3 = 0
2cosθ [cosθ + 3] - 1(cosθ + 3) = 0
(cosθ + 3) (2cosθ - 1) = 0
cosθ = -3 or cosθ = 12
Note that cosθ = -3 is not possible as −1≤cosθ≤1
Thus, θ = 60∘

A, B, and D
tan2A+cot2A+2 can be written as (1+tan2A)+(1+cot2A)
We know that, 1+tan2A=sec2A and 1+cot2A=cosec2A
⇒tan2A+cot2A+2=sec2A+cosec2A
=1cos2A+1sin2A
=sin2A+cos2Acos2A sin2A...(sin2A+cos2A=1)
=1cos2A sin2A
=sec2A cosec2A
:
A and D
We know that, sin2A+cos2A=1.
1) cos2A−sin2A=(1−sin2A)−sin2A
=1−2 sin2A
2) cos2A−sin2A=cos2A−(1−cos2A)
=cos2A−1+cos2A
=2 cos2A−1
:
B
A+B+C=180∘
(sum of angles of a triangle)
⟹B+C=180∘−A
∴B+C2=180∘−A2
B+C2=90∘−A2
Taking sine on both sides we get,
sin(B+C2)=sin(90∘−A2)
∴sin(B+C2)=cosA2
:
A, B, and D
sinθ+1−cosθcosθ−1+sinθ
Dividing the numerator and denominator by cos θ we get,
sinθcosθ+1cos θ−cosθcosθcosθcosθ−1cosθ+sinθcosθ
=tanθ+secθ−11−secθ+tanθ
⇒(tanθ+secθ)−(sec2θ−tan2θ)1−secθ+tanθ....(1+tan2θ=sec2θ)
=(tanθ+secθ)−(secθ−tanθ)(secθ+tanθ)1−secθ+tanθ
=(tanθ+secθ)(1−secθ+tanθ)(1−secθ+tanθ)
=tanθ+secθ
=sinθcosθ+1cosθ
=sinθ+1cosθ
[Multiplying the numerator and denominator by (1−sinθ)]
=1+sinθcosθ×1−sinθ1−sinθ
=1−sin2θcosθ(1−sinθ)
=cos2θcosθ(1−sinθ)
=cosθ1−sinθ
:
C
sin A−2 sin3A2 cos3A−cos A=sin A(1−2 sin2A)cos A(2 cos2A−1)
=sin A(sin2A+cos2A−2 sin2A)cos A(2 cos2A−(sin2A+cos2A))
=sin A(cos2A−sin2A)cosA(cos2A−sin2A)
=tan A
