Other Exercises

Answer each of the following questions either in one word or one sentence or as per requirement of the questions :
Question 1.
Define an identity.
Solution:
An identity is an equation which is true for all values of the variable (s) involved.

Question 2.
What is the value of (1 – cos2 θ) cosec2 θ?
Solution:

Question 3.
What is the value of (1 + cot2 θ) sin2 θ ?
Solution:
(1 + cot2 θ) sin2 θ = cosec2 sin2 θ                           {1 + cot2 θ = cosec2 θ}
= (cosec θ sin θ)2 = (l)2 = 1                                      (∵ sin θ cosec θ=1)

Question 4.

Solution:

Question 5.
If sec θ + tan θ = x, write the value of sec θ – tan θ in terms of x.
Solution:
sec θ+ tan θ = x
We know that
sec2 θ – tan2 θ=1                                                                    .
⇒ (sec θ + tan θ) (sec θ – tan θ) = 1                               {a2 – b2 = (a + b) (a – b)}
⇒  x (sec θ – tan θ) = 1
⇒  sec θ – tan θ = $$\frac { 1 }{ x }$$

Question 6.
If cosec θ – cot θ = α, write the value of cosec θ + cot α.
Solution:
cosec θ – cot θ = α
We know that,
cosec θ – cot θ=1
⇒  (cosec θ – cot θ) (cosec θ + cot θ) = 1
⇒  a (cosec θ + cot θ) = 1                                                {a2 – b2 = (a + b) (a – 6)}
⇒  cosec θ + cot θ = 1/α

Question 7.
Write the value of cosec2 (90° – θ) – tan2θ
Solution:

Question 8.
Write the value of sin A cos (90° – A) + cos A sin (90° – A)
Solution:

Question 9.

Solution:

Question 10.
If x = a sin θ and y = b cos θ, what is the value of b2x2 + a2y2 ?
Solution:
x = a sin θ, y = b cos θ

Question 11.
If sin θ = $$\frac { 4 }{ 5 }$$, What is the value of cot θ + cosec θ ?
Solution:

Question 12.
What is the value of 9 cot θ-9 cosec θ?
Solution:
9 cot θ – 9 cosec θ
= -(9cosec θ – 9cot θ)
= -9 (cosec θ – cot2 θ) = -9 x 1
= -9                                                       {∵  cosec θ – cot2 θ=1}

Question 13.

Solution:

Question 14.

Solution:

Question 15.
What is the value of (1 + tan2 θ) (1 – sin θ) (1 + sin θ) ?
Solution:

Question 16.
If cos A = $$\frac { 7 }{ 25 }$$, find the value of tan A +cot A. (C.B.S.E. 2008)
Solution:

Question 17.
If sin θ = $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$, then find the value of 2 cot2 θ + 2(C.B.S.E. 2009)
Solution:

Question 18.
If cos θ = $$\frac { 3 }{ 4 }$$, then find the value of 9 tan2 θ + 9.
Solution:

Question 19.
If sec θ (1 + sin θ) (1 – sin θ) = k, then find the value of k. (C.B.S.E. 2009)
Solution:

Question 20.
If cosec θ (1 + cos θ) (1 – cos θ) = λ, then find the value of λ.
Solution:
cosec θ (1 + cos θ) (1 – cos θ) = λ
⇒ cosec2 θ (1 – cos2 θ) = λ                      {(a + b) (a – b) = a1 – b2)}
⇒  cosec2 θ x sin θ = λ             (1 – cos2 θ = sin2 θ)
⇒ 1 = λ                                      (sin θ cosec θ=1)
∴ λ = 1

Question 21.
If sin2 θ cos2 θ (1 + tan2 θ) (1 + cot2 θ) = λ, then find the value of λ.
Solution:
sin2 θ cos2 θ (1+ tan2 θ) (1 + cot2 θ) = λ
sin2 θ cos2 θ (sec2 θ) (cosec2 θ) = λ

Question 22.

Solution:

Question 23.
If cosec θ = 2x and cot θ = $$\frac { 2 }{ x }$$, find the value of 2 ( x2 – $$\frac { 1 }{ x2 }$$           [CBSE 2010]
Solution:

Question 24.
Write ‘True’ or ‘False’ and justify your answer in each of the following:
(i) The value of sin θ is x + $$\frac { 1 }{ x }$$, where ‘x’ is a positive real number.

(ii) cos θ = $$\frac { { a }^{ 2 }+{ b }^{ 2 } }{ 2ab }$$ , where a and b are two lab distinct numbers such that ab > 0.
(iii) The value of cos2 23 – sin2 67 is positive.
(iv) The value of the expression sin 80° – cos 80° is negative.
(v) The value of sin θ + cos θ is always greater than 1.
