IV.Prove the following equalities.

  1. sin30˚ .cos60 ˚+ cos30˚.sin60˚ = sin 90˚

Solution:

sin30˚ .cos60 ˚+ cos30˚.sin60˚ = sin 90˚

LHS = sin30˚ .cos60 ˚+ cos30˚.sin60˚

= 1/2 . 1/2 + √3/2.√3/2

= 1/4 + 3/4

= 1+3/4

= 1

RHS = sin 90˚ = 1

Therefore, LHS = RHS

 

  1. 2cos230˚ – 1 = 1 – 2sin230˚ = cos 60˚

Solution:

2cos230˚ – 1 = 1 – 2sin230˚ = cos 60˚

Take, 2cos230˚ – 1 ………………..(1)

= 2(√3/2)2 – 1

= 2(3/4) – 1

= 3/2 – 1

= 3 – 2/2 = 1/2

1 – 2 sin2 30˚ ………………(2)

= 1 – 2(1/2)2

= 1 – 2(1/4)

= 1 – 1/2

= 1/2

cos60˚ …………………(3)

we know, cos60˚ = 1/2

Therefore, (1) = (2) = (3)

Thus, 2cos230˚ – 1 = 1 – 2sin230˚ = cos 60˚

 

  1. If θ = 30˚, prove that 4cos3θ – 3 cos θ = cos 3θ

Solution:

If θ = 30˚, we have to prove that 4cos3θ – 3 cos θ = cos 3θ

LHS = 4cos3θ – 3 cos θ

= 4cos330˚ – 3 cos 30˚

= 4(√3/2)3 – 3(√3/2)

= 4(3√3/8) – 3(√3/2)

= 3√3/2 – 3√3/2

= 3√3 – 3√3/2

= 0

RHS = cos 3θ

= cos 3(30˚)

= cos(90˚)

= 0

LHS = RHS

 

  1. If π = 180˚ and A = π/6 prove that (1 – cosA)(1 + cos A)/(1 – sin A)(1+ sinA) = 1/3

Solution:

If π = 180˚ and A = π/6 = 30˚ we have to prove that (1 – cosA)(1 + cos A)/(1 – sin A)(1+ sinA) = 1/3

LHS = (1 – cosA)(1 + cos A)/(1 – sin A)(1+ sinA)

= (1 – cos 30˚)(1 + cos 30˚)/(1 – sin 30˚)(1+ sin30˚)

= [1 – cos230˚]/[1 – sin230˚]

= [1 – (√3/2)2]/[1 – (1/2)2]

= [1 – 3/4]/[1 – 1/4]

= [4 – 3/4]/[4-1/4]

=[ 1/4]/[3/4]

= 1/3

= RHS

 

  1. If B = 15˚, prove that 4 sin 2B.cos 4B.sin 6B = 1

Solution:

If B = 15˚, we have to prove that 4sin 2B.cos 4B.sin 6B = 1

LHS = 4sin 2B.cos 4B.sin 6B

= 4sin 2(15˚).cos 4(15˚).sin 6(15˚)

= 4 sin(30˚).cos(60˚).sin(90˚)

= 4(1/2).(1/2).(1)

= 4(1/4)

= 1

= RHS

 

  1. If A = 60˚ and B = 30˚ then prove that tan(A – B) = tanA – tanB/1 + tanAtanB

Solution:

If A = 60˚ and B = 30˚ then we have to prove that tan(A – B) = tanA – tanB/1 + tanAtanB

LHS = tan(A – B)

= tan(60˚ – 30˚)

= tan30˚

= 1/√3

RHS = tanA – tanB/1 + tanAtanB

= tan60˚ – tan30˚/1 + tan60˚tan30˚

= [√3 – 1/√3]/[1 + √3.(1/√3)]

= (2√3/3)/(1+1)

= √3/3

= 1/√3

Therefore, LHS = RHS
