उत्तर
`(tan^3 theta)/(1 + tan^2 theta) + (cot^3 theta)/(1 + cot^2 theta) ` [`∵ sec^2 theta - tan^2 theta = 1 - cosec^2 theta - cot^2 theta = 1`]
`= tan theta + cos^2 theta = cot^3 theta xx sin^3 theta`
`[∵ 1/sec^2 theta = cos^2 theta, 1/cosec^2 theta = 1 + cot^2 theta]`
`sin^3 theta/cos^3 theta xx cos^2 theta + cos^3 theta/sin^3 theta xx sin^2 theta`
`sin^3 theta/cos theta + cos^3 theta/sin theta`
`= (sin^4 theta + cos^4 theta)/(sin theta cos theta)`
` (1 - 2sin^2 theta cos^2 theta)/(sin theta cos theta)`
`1/(sin theta cos theta) - (2 sin^2 theta cos^2 theta)/(sin theta cos theta)`
`sec theta cosec theta - 2sin theta cos theta`.

Find the value of sin2θ + cos2θ

Solution:
In Δ ABC, ∠ABC = 90°, ∠C = θ°
AB2 + BC2 = `square` .....(Pythagoras theorem)
Divide both sides by AC2
`"AB"^2/"AC"^2 + "BC"^2/"AC"^2 = "AC"^2/"AC"^2`
∴ `("AB"^2/"AC"^2) + ("BC"^2/"AC"^2) = 1`
But `"AB"/"AC" = square and "BC"/"AC" = square`
∴ `sin^2 theta + cos^2 theta = square`
