Question
If sin θ + sin2 θ = 1 show that: cos2 θ + cos4 θ = 1
Advertisements
Solution
sin θ + sin2 θ = 1 ......[Given]
∴ sin θ = 1 − sin2 θ
∴ sin θ = cos2 θ ......[∵ 1 − sin2 θ = cos2 θ]
∴ sin2 θ = cos4 θ ......[Squaring both the sides]
∴ 1 − cos2 θ = cos4 θ ......[∵ sin2 θ = 1 − cos2 θ]
∴ 1 = cos2 θ + cos4 θ
∴ cos2 θ + cos4 θ = 1

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`
