Question
`(1-tan^2 theta)/(cot^2-1) = tan^2 theta`
Advertisements
Solution
LHS = `(1- tan^2 theta)/(cot^2 theta-1)`
=`(1-(sin^2 theta)/(cos^2 theta))/((cos^2 theta )/(sin^2 theta)-1)`
=`((cos^2 theta - sin^2 theta)/(cos^2 theta))/((cos^2theta-sin^2 theta)/(sin^2 theta))`
=`(sin^2 theta)/(cos^2 theta)`
= tan2 𝜃
= RHS

If cot θ = `40/9`, find the values of cosec θ and sinθ,
We have, 1 + cot2θ = cosec2θ
1 + `square` = cosec2θ
1 + `square` = cosec2θ
`(square + square)/square` = cosec2θ
`square/square` = cosec2θ ......[Taking root on the both side]
cosec θ = `41/9`
and sin θ = `1/("cosec" θ)`
sin θ = `1/square`
∴ sin θ = `9/41`
The value is cosec θ = `41/9`, and sin θ = `9/41`
