Chapter 3: Trigonometric Functions

Ans: We know that,

$\text{cos A+cos B=2cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{A+B}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{A-B}}{\text{2}} \right)$

And, $\text{sin A+sin B=2sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{A+B}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{A-B}}{\text{2}} \right)$

Now, L.H.S.$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{cos 4x+cos 3x+cos 2x}}{\text{sin 4x+sin 3x+sin 2x}}$

$\text{=}\dfrac{\left( \text{cos 4x+cos 2x} \right)\text{+cos 3x}}{\left( \text{sin4x+sin2x} \right)\text{+sin 3x}}$

$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{2cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{4x+2x}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{4x-2x}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{+cos3x}}{\text{2sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{4x+2x}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{4x-2x}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{+sin 3x}}$   

(Using the Formulas)

$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{2cos 3x cos x+cos 3x}}{\text{2sin 3x cos x+sin 3x}}$

Further computing, we obtain,

L.H.S $\text{=}\dfrac{\text{cos 3x}\left( \text{2cos x+1} \right)}{\text{sin 3x}\left( \text{2cos x+1} \right)}$ 

$\text{=cot 3x}$ 

= R.H.S.

Hence proved.

Ans:

We know that, $\text{cot}\left( \text{A+B} \right)\text{=}\dfrac{\text{cotAcotB-1}}{\text{cot A+cot B}}$

Now , L.H.S.$\text{=cot xcot 2x-cot 2x cot 3x-cot 3x cot x}$

$\text{=cot x cot 2x-cot 3x}\left( \text{cot 2x+cot x} \right)$

$\text{=cot x cot 2x-cot}\left( \text{2x+x} \right)\left( \text{cot 2x+cot x} \right)$

$\text{=cot x cot 2x-}\left[ \dfrac{\text{cot 2x cot x-1}}{\text{cot x+cot 2x}} \right]\left( \text{cot 2x+cot x} \right)$

Further computing we obtain,

$\text{L}\text{.H}\text{.S=cot x cot 2x-}\left( \text{cot 2x cot x-1} \right)$ 

$\text{=1}$

= R.H.S.

Hence proved.

Ans:

We  know that $\text{tan 2A=}\dfrac{\text{2tan A}}{\text{1-ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{A}}$

L.H.S.$\text{=tan 4x}$

$\text{=tan2}\left( \text{2x} \right)$

$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{2tan 2x}}{\text{1-ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\left( \text{2x} \right)}$

(Using the formula)

$\text{=}\dfrac{\left( \dfrac{\text{4tan x}}{\text{1-ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x}} \right)}{\left[ \text{1-}\dfrac{\text{4ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x}}{{{\left( \text{1-ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x} \right)}^{\text{2}}}} \right]}$

Further  computing, we obtain,

L.H.S $\text{=}\dfrac{\left( \dfrac{\text{4tan x}}{\text{1-ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x}} \right)}{\left[ \dfrac{{{\left( \text{1-ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x} \right)}^{\text{2}}}\text{4ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x}}{{{\left( \text{1-ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x} \right)}^{\text{2}}}} \right]}$$$$$

$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{4tan x}\left( \text{1-ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x} \right)}{\text{1+ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{4}}}\text{x-2ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x-4ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x}}$

$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{4tan x}\left( \text{1-ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x} \right)}{\text{1-6ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x+ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{4}}}\text{x}}$ 

= R.H.S.

Hence  proved.

Ans:

We know that, $\text{cos 2x=1-2si}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x}$ 

And $\text{sin 2x=2sin x cos x}$ 

L.H.S.$\text{=cos 4x}$

$\text{=cos 2}\left( \text{2x} \right)$

$\text{=1-2si}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{2x}$

$\text{=1-2}{{\left( \text{2sin x cos x} \right)}^{\text{2}}}$

Further computing we get,

L.H.S $\text{=1-8si}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{xco}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x}$ 

= R.H.S.

Hence proved.

Ans:

We know that, $\text{cos 3A=4co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{3}}}\text{A-3cosA}$

and  $\text{cos 2x=1-2si}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x}$

L.H.S $\text{=cos 6x}$

$\text{=cos 3}\left( \text{2x} \right)$

$\text{=4co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{3}}}\text{2x-3cos 2x}$

$\text{=4}\left[ {{\left( \text{2co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x-1} \right)}^{\text{3}}}\text{-3}\left( \text{2co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x-1} \right) \right]$

Further computing,

L.H.S $\text{=4}\left[ {{\left( \text{2co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x} \right)}^{\text{3}}}\text{-}{{\left( \text{1} \right)}^{\text{3}}}\text{-3}\left( \text{2co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x} \right) \right]\text{-6co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x+3}$

$\text{=4}\left[ {{\left( \text{2co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x} \right)}^{\text{3}}}\text{-}{{\left( \text{1} \right)}^{\text{3}}}\text{-3}{{\left( \text{2co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x} \right)}^{\text{2}}}\text{+3}\left( \text{2co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x} \right) \right]\text{-6co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x+3}$

$\text{=4}\left[ \text{8co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{6}}}\text{x-1-12co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{4}}}\text{x+6co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x} \right]\text{-6co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x+3}$    $\text{=32co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{6}}}\text{x-48co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{4}}}\text{x+18co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x-1}$

Therefore we have,

L.H.S = R.H.S

Hence proved.
