Question
Without using trigonometric identity , show that :
`sin42^circ sec48^circ + cos42^circ cosec48^circ = 2`
Advertisements
Solution
`sin42^circ sec48^circ + cos42^circ cosec48^circ = 2`
consider `sin42^circ sec48^circ + cos42^circ cosec48^circ`
⇒ `sin42^circ sec(90^circ - 42^circ) + cos42^circ cosec(90^circ - 42^circ)`
⇒ `sin42^circ . cosec42^circ + cos42^circ sec42^circ`
⇒ `sin42^circ . 1/sin42^circ + cos42^circ 1/cos42^circ`
⇒ 1 + 1 = 2

If sec θ = `25/7`, find the value of tan θ.
Solution:
1 + tan2 θ = sec2 θ
∴ 1 + tan2 θ = `(25/7)^square`
∴ tan2 θ = `625/49 - square`
= `(625 - 49)/49`
= `square/49`
∴ tan θ = `square/7` ........(by taking square roots)
