We have sin \(\theta \) + cos \(\theta \) = \(\sqrt{3}\)
Squaring on both the sides,
\((\sin \theta+\cos \theta)^{2} =(\sqrt{3})
\)
\(\sin ^{2} \theta+\cos ^{2} \theta+2 \sin \theta \cos \theta =3
\)
1 + 2 sin \(\theta \) cos \(\theta \) = 3
2 sin \(\theta \) cos \(\theta \) = 3 - 1
2 sin \(\theta \) cos \(\theta \) = 2
sin \(\theta \) cos \(\theta \) = 2/2
sin \(\theta \) cos \(\theta \) = 1
Now to prove tan \(\theta \) + cot \(\theta \) = 1
\(
\mathrm{LHS} =\tan \theta+\cot \theta
\)
\(=\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}+\frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}

\(=\frac{1}{1}\)
= 1
tan \(\theta \) + cot \(\theta \) = 1
13.
We have \(\frac { co{ s }^{ 2 }\theta }{ sin\theta } \) =p ...(1) and \(\frac { sin^{ 2 }\theta }{ cos\theta } \) =q. ..(2)
p2q2(p2 + q2 + 3)= \({ \left( \frac { co{ s }^{ 2 }\theta }{ sin\theta } \right) }^{ 2 }{ \left( \frac { sin^{ 2 }\theta }{ cos\theta } \right) }^{ 2 }\times \left[ { \left( \frac { co{ s }^{ 2 }\theta }{ sin\theta } \right) }^{ 2 }+{ \left( \frac { si{ n }^{ 2 }\theta }{ cos\theta } \right) }^{ 2 }+3 \right] \) [from (1) and (2)]
=\(\left( \frac { co{ s }^{ 4 }\theta }{ si{ n }^{ 2 }\theta } \right) \left( \frac { si{ n }^{ 2 }\theta }{ co{ s }^{ 2 }\theta } \right) \times \left[ \frac { co{ s }^{ 4 }\theta }{ si{ n }^{ 2 }\theta } +\frac { si{ n }^{ 4 }\theta }{ co{ s }^{ 2 }\theta } +3 \right] \)
= (cos2\(\theta \)\(\times \)sin2\(\theta \))\(\times \) \(\left[ \left( \frac { co{ s }^{ 6 }\theta +si{ n }^{ 6 }\theta +3si{ n }^{ 2 }\theta co{ s }^{ 2 }\theta }{ si{ n }^{ 2 }\theta co{ s }^{ 2 }\theta } \right) \right] \)
= cos6\(\theta \) + sin6\(\theta \) + 3sin2\(\theta \)cos2\(\theta \)
= (cos2\(\theta \))3 + (sin2\(\theta \))3 + 3sin2\(\theta \)cos2\(\theta \)
= [(cos2\(\theta \) + sin2\(\theta \))3 - 3cos2\(\theta \) sin2\(\theta \)(cos2\(\theta \) + sin2\(\theta \))] + 3sin2\(\theta \)cos2\(\theta \)
= 1 - 3cos2\(\theta \)sin2\(\theta \)(1) + 3cos2\(\theta \)sin2\(\theta \) = 1
14.
Given cosec\(\theta \) + cot\(\theta \) = p ...(1)
cosec2\(\theta \) - cot2\(\theta \) = 1 (identity)
\(\operatorname{cosec} \theta-\cot \theta=\frac{1}{\operatorname{cosec} \theta+\cot \theta}\)
cosec\(\theta \) - cot\(\theta \) =\(\frac { 1 }{ { p } } \) .... (2)
Adding(1) and (2) we get, 2cosec\(\theta \) = \(p+\frac { 1 }{ p } \)
2cosec\(\theta \)\(\frac { { p }^{ 2 }+1 }{ p } \) ....(3)
Subtracting (2) from (1), we get, 2cot\(\theta \) = \(p-\frac { 1 }{ p } \)
2cot\(\theta \) = \(\frac { { p }^{ 2 }-1 }{ p } \) ...(4)
Dividing (4) by (3) we get,\(\frac { 2cot\theta }{ 2cosec\theta } =\frac { { p }^{ 2 }-1 }{ p } \times \frac { p }{ { p }^{ 2 }+1 } gives,cos\theta =\frac { { p }^{ 2 }-1 }{ { p }^{ 2 }+1 } \)
15.
\(\frac { sinA }{ 1+cosA } +\frac { sinA }{ 1-cosA } \)
\(=\frac { sinA(1-cosA)+sinA(1+cosA) }{ (1+cosA)(1-cosA) } \)
\(=\frac { sinA-sinAcosA+sinA+sinAcosA }{ 1-co{ s }^{ 2 }A } \)
\(=\frac { 2sinA }{ 1-co{ s }^{ 2 }A } =\frac { 2sinA }{ si{ n }^{ 2 }A } \) = 2cosecA
16.
Now,cos\(\theta \) + sin\(\theta \) =\(\sqrt { 2 } \) cos\(\theta \)
Squaring both sides,
(cos\(\theta \) + sin\(\theta \) )2 =(\(\sqrt { 2 } \) cos\(\theta \) )2
cos2 \(\theta \) + sin2 \(\theta \) + 2sin\(\theta \) cos\(\theta \) = 2cos2\(\theta \)
2cos2\(\theta \) - cos2\(\theta \) - sin2\(\theta \) = 2sin\(\theta \) cos\(\theta \)
cos2\(\theta \) - sin2\(\theta \) = 2sin\(\theta \) cos\(\theta \)
(cos\(\theta \) + sin\(\theta \) ) (cos\(\theta \) + sin\(\theta \) ) = 2sin\(\theta \) cos\(\theta \)
cos\(\theta \) - sin\(\theta \) = \(\frac { 2sin\theta cos\theta }{ cos\theta +sin\theta } \) =\(\frac { 2sin\theta cos\theta }{ \sqrt { 2 } cos\theta } \) [since cos\(\theta \) + sin\(\theta \) =\(\sqrt { 2 } \) cos\(\theta \) ]
=\(\sqrt { 2 } \) cos\(\theta \)
Therefore cos\(\theta \) - sin\(\theta \) =\(\sqrt { 2 } \) cos\(\theta \)
17.
sin2 Acos2 B + cos2 Asin2 B + cos2 A + cos2 B+ sin2 Asin2 B
= sin2 Acos2 B + sin2 Asin2 B + cos2 A + cos2 B + sin2Asin2 B
= sin2 A(cos2 B + sin2 B) + cos2 A(sin2 B + cos2B)
= sin2 A(1) + cos2 A(1) (since sin2 B + cos2 B = 1)
= sin2 A + cos2 A = 1
