Question 11 Mark
If $\tan(\text{A+B})=\text{p}$ and $\tan\text{(A - B)}=\text{q},$ then write the value of $\tan2\text{B}.$
Answer
We have, $\tan(\text{A+B})=\text{p}$ and $\tan(\text{A - B})=\text{q}$ Now, $\tan2\text{B}=\tan\big[(\text{A+B})-(\text{A}-\text{B})\big]$ $=\frac{\tan(\text{A+B})-\tan\text{(A - B)}}{1+\tan(\text{A+B})\times\tan(\text{A - B})}$ $=\frac{\text{p - q}}{1+\text{pq}}$ $\therefore\ \tan2\text{B}=\frac{\text{p - q}}{1+\text{pq}}$

Question 51 Mark
If $\text{x}\cos\theta=\text{y}\cos\Big(\theta+\frac{2\pi}{3}\Big)=\text{z}\Big(\theta+\frac{4\pi}{3}\Big),$ then write the value of $\frac{1}{\text{x}}+\frac{1}{\text{y}}+\frac{1}{\text{z}}.$
Answer
Let, $\text{x}\cos\theta=\text{y}\cos\Big(\theta+\frac{2\pi}{3}\Big)=\text{z}\cos\Big(\theta+\frac{4\pi}{3}\Big)=\text{k}$ $\Rightarrow\text{x}\cos\theta=\text{k},\text{y}\cos\Big(\theta+\frac{2\pi}{3}\Big)=\text{k}$ and, $\text{z}\cos\Big(\theta+\frac{4\pi}{3}\Big)=\text{k}$ $\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\frac{\cos\theta}{\text{k}},\frac{1}{\text{y}}=\frac{\cos\Big(\frac{2\pi}{3}+\theta\Big)}{\text{k}}$ and, $\frac{1}{\text{z}}=\frac{\cos\Big(\frac{4\pi}{3}+\theta\Big)}{\text{k}}$ Now, $\frac{1}{\text{x}}+\frac{1}{\text{y}}+\frac{1}{\text{z}}=\frac{\cos\theta}{\text{k}}+\frac{\cos\big(\frac{2\pi}{3}+\theta\Big)}{\text{k}}+\frac{\cos\Big(\frac{4\pi}{3}+\theta\Big)}{\text{k}}$ $=\frac{1}{\text{k}}\Big[\cos\theta+\cos\Big\{\frac{\pi}{2}+\Big(\frac{\pi}{6}+\theta\Big)\Big\}\cos\Big\{\pi+\Big(\frac{\pi}{3}+\theta\Big)\Big\}\Big]$ $=\frac{1}{\text{k}}\Big[\cos\theta-\sin\Big(\frac{\pi}{6}+\theta\Big)-\cos\Big(\frac{\pi}{3}+\theta\Big)\Big]$ $=\frac{1}{\text{k}}\Big[\cos\theta-\Big(\sin\frac{\pi}{6}\cos\theta+\cos\frac{\pi}{6}\sin\theta\Big)-(\cos\frac\pi3\times\cos\theta-\sin\frac{\pi}{3}\times\sin\theta\Big)\Big]$ $=\frac{1}{\text{k}}\Big[\cos\theta-\Big(\frac12\cos\theta+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\sin\theta\Big)-\Big(\frac12\cos\theta-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\sin\theta\Big)\Big]$ $=\frac{1}{\text{k}}\Big[\cos\theta-\frac12\cos\theta-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\sin\theta-\frac12\cos\theta+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\sin\theta\Big]$ $=0$

If $\sin\alpha-\sin\beta=\text{a}$ and $\cos\alpha+\cos\beta=\text{b},$ then write the value of $\cos(\alpha+\beta).$
Answer
We have, $\sin\alpha-\sin\beta=\text{a}$ and $\cos\alpha+\cos\beta=\text{b}$ Now, $\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2=(\sin\alpha-\sin\beta)^2+(\cos\alpha+\cos\beta)^2$ $=\sin^2\alpha+\sin^2\beta-2\sin\alpha\sin\beta+\cos^2\alpha+\cos^2\beta+2\cos\alpha\cos\beta$ $=(\sin^2\alpha+\cos^2\alpha)+(\sin^2\beta+\cos^2\beta)+2[\cos\alpha\cos\beta-\sin\alpha\sin\beta]$ $=1+1+2\cos(\alpha+\beta)$ $=2+2\cos(\alpha+\beta)$ $\Rightarrow\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2=2+2\cos(\alpha+\beta)$ $\Rightarrow\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2-2=2\cos(\alpha+\beta)$ $\Rightarrow2\cos(\alpha+\beta)=\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2-2$ $\Rightarrow\cos(\alpha+\beta)=\frac{\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2-2}{2}$

Answer
We have: $\alpha+\beta-\gamma=\pi$ Now, $\sin^2\alpha+\sin^2\beta-\sin^2\gamma$ $=\frac{1-\cos2\alpha}{2}+\frac{1\cos2\beta}{2}-\frac{(1-\cos2\gamma)}{2}$ $\Big(\frac12+\frac12+\frac12\Big)-\Big(\frac{\cos2\alpha}{2}+\frac{\cos2\beta}{2}-\frac{\cos2\gamma}{2}\Big)$ $=\frac12-\frac{1}{2}\Big[2\cos\frac{2\alpha+2\beta}{2}\cos\frac{2\alpha+2\beta}{2}-\cos2\gamma\Big]$ $=\frac12-\frac12[2\cos(\alpha+\beta)\cos(\alpha-\beta)-\cos2\gamma]$ $=\frac12-\frac12[2\cos(\pi+\gamma)\cos(\alpha-\beta)-\cos2\gamma]$ $=\frac12-\frac12[2\cos\gamma\cos(\alpha-\beta)-\cos2\gamma]$ $=\frac12-\frac12\big[2\cos\gamma\cos(\alpha-\beta)-\big(2\cos^2\gamma-1\big]$ $=\frac12+\frac12\big[2\cos\gamma\cos(\alpha-\beta)+2\cos^2\gamma-1\big]$ $=\frac12-\frac12\big[2\{\cos(\alpha+\beta)\cos(\alpha-\beta)-\cos2\gamma\}\big]$ $=\cos\gamma\cos(\alpha-\beta)+2\cos^2\gamma$ $=\cos\gamma[\cos(\alpha-\beta)+\cos\gamma]$ $=\cos\Big[\cos(\alpha-\beta)+\cos\{-(\pi-(\alpha+\beta))\}\Big]$ $=\cos\gamma[\cos(\alpha-\beta)-\cos(\alpha+\beta)]$ $=\cos\gamma[2\sin\alpha\sin\beta]$ $=2\cos\gamma\sin\alpha\sin\beta$ $=2\sin\alpha\sin\beta\sin\gamma$ $\therefore\sin^2\alpha+\sin^2\beta-\sin^2\gamma=2\sin\alpha\sin\beta\cos\gamma$ $\therefore\lambda=2$

If $\tan\alpha=\frac{1}{1+2^{-\text{x}}}$ and $\tan\beta=\frac{1}{1+2^{\text{x+1}}},$ then write the value of $\alpha+\beta$ lying in the interval $\Big(0,\frac\pi2\Big).$
Answer
We have, $\tan\alpha=\frac{1}{1+2^{-\text{x}}}$ and $\tan\beta=\frac{1}{1+2^{\text{x+1}}}$ Now, $\tan(\alpha+\beta)=\frac{\tan\alpha+\tan\beta}{1-\tan\alpha\times\tan\beta}$ $=\frac{\frac{1}{1+2^{-\text{x}}}+\frac{1}{1+2^{\text{x+1}}}}{1-\frac{1}{1+2^{-\text{x}}}\times\frac{1}{1+2^{\text{x+1}}}}$ $=\frac{\frac{1+2^{\text{x+1}}+1+2^{-\text{x}}}{(1+2^{-\text{x}})(1+2^{\text{x+1}})}}{1-\frac{1}{(1+2^{-\text{x}})(1+2^{\text{x+1}})}}$ $=\frac{\frac{2+2^{\text{x}+1}+2^{-\text{x}}}{1+2^{\text{x}+1}+2^{-\text{x}}+2}}{1-\frac{1}{1+2^{\text{x}+1}+2^{-\text{x}}+2}}$ $=\frac{\frac{2+2^{\text{x}+1}+2^{-\text{x}}}{3+2^{\text{x}+1}+2^{-\text{x}}}}{1-\frac{1}{3+2^{\text{x}+1}+2^{-\text{x}}}}$ $=\frac{\frac{2+2^{\text{x}+1}+2^{-\text{x}}}{3+2^{\text{x}+1}+2^{-\text{x}}}}{\frac{3+2^{\text{x}+1}+2^{-\text{x}}-1}{3+2^{\text{x}+1}+2^{-\text{x}}}}$ $=\frac{2+2^{\text{x+1}}+2^{-\text{x}}}{2+2^{\text{x+1}}+2^{-\text{x}}}$ $=1$ $\Rightarrow\tan(\alpha+\beta)=1=\tan\Big(\frac{\pi}{4}\Big)$ $\Rightarrow\tan(\alpha+\beta)=\tan\Big(\frac\pi4\Big)$ $\Rightarrow\alpha+\beta=\frac\pi4$
