"The mathematician is fascinated with the marvelous beauty of the forms
he constructs, and in their beauty he finds everlasting truth."

1.

If xcos ysin = a, xsin + ycos = b, prove that x2+y2=a2+b2.

Ans: xcos - y sin = a

xsin + y cos = b
Squaring and adding
x2+y2=a2+b2.
2.

Prove that sec2+cosec2 can never be less than 2.

Ans: S.T Sec2 + Cosec2 can never be less than 2.

If possible let it be less than 2.
1 + Tan2 + 1 + Cot2 < 2.
2 + Tan2 + Cot2
(Tan + Cot)2 < 2.
Which is not possible.
3.

, show that 3cos -4cos3 = 0.

If sin =

Ans: Sin

=
= 30o
Substituting in place of

If cos +sin =

Ans: Cos + Sin = 2 Cos

( Cos + Sin )2 = 2Cos2
Cos2 + Sin2 +2Cos Sin = 2Cos2
Cos2 - 2Cos Sin + Sin2 = 2Sin2
(Cos - Sin )2 = 2Sin2
or Cos - Sin = 2 Sin .

2Sin2 = 2 - 2Cos2
1- Cos2 = Sin2 & 1 - Sin2 = Cos2

If tanA+sinA=m and tanA-sinA=n, show that m2-n2 = 4

Ans: TanA + SinA = m

TanA SinA = n.

m -n =4 mn .
m2-n2= (TanA + SinA)2-(TanA - SinA)2
= 4 TanA SinA
