Question
If 3 tan θ = 4, find the value of `(4cos theta - sin theta)/(2cos theta + sin theta)`
Advertisements
Solution
3 tan theta = 4 find `(4cos theta - sin theta)/(2cos theta + sin theta)` ....(i)
`tan theta = 4/3`
Dividing equation (i) with cos θ we get
`= ((4cos theta - sin theta)/cos theta)/((2 cos theta + sin theta)/cos theta) = (4 - tan theta)/(2 + tan theta) [∵ sin theta/cos theta = tan theta]`
`= (4 - tan theta)/(2 + tan theta) [∵ sin theta/cos theta = tan theta]`
`= (4 - 4/1)/(2 + 4/5)`
`= (12 - 4)/(6 + 4)`
`= 8/10`
`= 4/5`

Prove that: cot θ + tan θ = cosec θ·sec θ
Proof: L.H.S. = cot θ + tan θ
= `square/square + square/square` ......`[∵ cot θ = square/square, tan θ = square/square]`
= `(square + square)/(square xx square)` .....`[∵ square + square = 1]`
= `1/(square xx square)`
= `1/square xx 1/square`
= cosec θ·sec θ ......`[∵ "cosec" θ = 1/square, sec θ = 1/square]`
= R.H.S.
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ cot θ + tan θ = cosec·sec θ
