Question
If sinA + cosA = `sqrt(2)` , prove that sinAcosA = `1/2`
Advertisements
Solution
We Know , `(sinA + cosA)^2 = sin^2A + cos^2A + 2sinA.cosA`
Given , (sinA + cosA) = `sqrt(2)`
⇒ 2 = 1 + 2sinA.cosA
⇒ 2sinA.cosA = 1
⇒ sinA.cosA = `1/2`

Complete the following activity to prove:
cotθ + tanθ = cosecθ × secθ
Activity: L.H.S. = cotθ + tanθ
= `cosθ/sinθ + square/cosθ`
= `(square + sin^2theta)/(sinθ xx cosθ)`
= `1/(sinθ xx cosθ)` ....... ∵ `square`
= `1/sinθ xx 1/cosθ`
= `square xx secθ`
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
