Question 22 Marks
Find the general solutions of the following equations :

sin θ – cosθ = 1

Answer
∴ cosθ – sin θ = -1

Dividing both sides by $\sqrt{(1)^2+(-1)^2}=\sqrt{2}$, we get

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cos \theta-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \sin \theta=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

$\therefore \cos \frac{\pi}{4} \cos \theta-\sin \frac{\pi}{4} \sin \theta=-\cos \frac{\pi}{4}$

$\therefore \cos \left(\theta-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=\cos \left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$

$\ldots[\because \cos (\pi-\theta)=-\cos \theta]$

$\therefore \cos \left(\theta-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=\cos \frac{3 \pi}{4}$

$\ldots(1)$

The general solution of $\cos \theta=\cos \alpha$ is

$\theta=2 n \pi \pm \alpha, n \in Z$

$\therefore$ the general solution of $(1)$ is given by

$\theta-\frac{\pi}{4}=2 n \pi \pm \frac{3 \pi}{4}, n \in Z$

$\therefore \theta=2 n \pi+\pi=(2 n+1) \pi, n \in Z$

Taking negative sign, we get$\theta-\frac{\pi}{4}=2 n \pi-\frac{3 \pi}{4}, n \in Z$

$\therefore \theta=2 n \pi-\frac{\pi}{2}, n \in Z$

$\therefore$ the required general solution is

$\theta=(2 n+1) \pi, n \in Z$ or $\theta=2 n \pi-\frac{\pi}{2}, n \in Z$.

Question 32 Marks
Find the general solutions of the following equations :

$\tan ^2 \theta=3$

Answer
The general solution of $\tan ^2 \theta=\tan ^2 \alpha$ is

$\theta=n \pi \pm \alpha, n \in Z$.

Now, $\tan ^2 \theta=3=(\sqrt{x})^2$

$\therefore \tan ^2 \theta=\left(\tan \frac{\pi}{3}\right)^2 \ldots\left[\because \tan \frac{\pi}{3}=\sqrt{3}\right]$

$\therefore \tan ^2 \theta=\tan ^2 \frac{\pi}{3}$

$\therefore$ the required general solution is

$\theta=n \pi \pm \frac{\pi}{3}, n \in Z$.

Question 42 Marks
Find the general solutions of the following equations :

$\tan \theta=-\sqrt{x}$

Answer
The general solution of tan θ = tan ∝ is θ = nπ + ∝, n ∈ Z.

Now, $\tan \theta=-\sqrt{x}$

$\therefore \tan \theta=\tan \frac{\pi}{3} \ldots\left[\because \tan \frac{\pi}{3}=\sqrt{3}\right]$

$\begin{aligned} & \therefore \tan \theta=\tan \left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{3}\right) \ldots[\because \tan (\pi-\theta)=-\tan \theta] \\ & \therefore \tan \theta=\tan \frac{2 \pi}{3}\end{aligned}$

∴ the required general solution is

$\theta=n \pi+\frac{2 \pi}{3}, n \in Z$.

Question 52 Marks
If $\tan ^{-1} x+\tan ^{-1} y+\tan ^{-1} z=\frac{\pi}{2}$ then, show that $x y+y z+z x=1$
Answer
$\begin{aligned} & \tan ^{-1} x+\tan ^{-1} y+\tan ^{-1} z=\frac{\pi}{2} \\ & \therefore \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{x+y}{1-x y}\right)+\tan ^{-1} z=\frac{\pi}{2}\end{aligned}$

$\therefore \tan ^{-1}\left[\frac{\left(\frac{x+y}{1-x y}\right)+z}{1-\left(\frac{x+y}{1-x y}\right) z}\right]=\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\therefore \tan ^{-1}\left[\frac{x+y+z-x y z}{1-x y-x z-y z}\right]=\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\therefore \frac{x+y+z-x y z}{1-x y-y z-z x}=\tan \frac{\pi}{2}$, which does not exist

∴ 1 – xy – yz – zx = 0 ∴ xy + yz + zx = 1.

Question 72 Marks
If $|\times|<1$, then prove that $2 \tan ^{-1} \mathrm{x}=\tan ^{-1} \frac{2 x}{1-x^2}=\sin ^{-1} \frac{2 x}{1+x^2}=\cos ^{-1} \frac{1-x^2}{1+x^2}$

Question is modified

If $|\mathrm{x}|<1$, then prove that $2 \tan ^{-1} \mathrm{x}=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{2 x}{1-x^2}\right)=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{2 x}{1+x^2}\right)=\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1-x^2}{1+x^2}\right)$

Answer
Let $\tan ^{-1} x=y$

Then, $x=$ tany

Now, $\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{2 x}{1-x^2}\right)=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{2 \tan y}{1-\tan ^2 y}\right)$

$\begin{aligned} & =\tan ^{-1}(\tan 2 y) \\ & =2 y=2 \tan ^{-1} x\end{aligned}$

$\ldots(1)$

$\begin{aligned} \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{2 x}{1+x^2}\right) & =\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{2 \tan y}{1+\tan ^2 y}\right)=\sin ^{-1}(\sin 2 y) \\ & =2 y=2 \tan ^{-1} x\end{aligned}$

$\ldots(2)$

$\begin{aligned} \cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1-x^2}{1+x^2}\right) & =\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1-\tan ^2 y}{1+\tan ^2 y}\right)=\cos ^{-1}(\cos 2 y) \\ & =2 y=2 \tan ^{-1} x\end{aligned}$

$\ldots(3)$

From (1), (2) and (3), we get

$2 \tan ^{-1} x=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{2 x}{1-x^2}\right)=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{2 x}{1+x^2}\right)$

$=\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1-x^2}{1+x^2}\right)$

$\cdots\left[\because \cos \frac{\pi}{6}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\sin \frac{\pi}{3}\right]$

$=\frac{\pi}{6}+2\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)$

$\ldots\left[\because \sin ^{-1}(\sin x)=x, \cos ^{-1}(\cos x)=x\right]$

Question 102 Marks
If $\tan ^{-1} 2 x+\tan ^{-1} 3 x=\frac{\pi}{4}$, then find the value of $x$

Question is modified

If $\tan ^{-1} 2 x+\tan ^{-1} 3 x=\frac{\pi}{2}$, then find the value of $x$.

Answer
$\tan ^{-1} 2 x+\tan ^{-1} 3 x=\frac{\pi}{4}$

$\therefore \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{2 x+3 x}{1-2 x \times 3 x}\right)=\tan \frac{\pi}{4}$, where $2 \mathrm{x}>0,3 \mathrm{x}>0$

$\begin{aligned} & \therefore \frac{5 x}{1-6 x^2}=\tan \frac{\pi}{4}=1 \\ & \therefore 5 x=1-6 x^2\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & \therefore 6 x^2+5 x-1=0 \\ & \therefore 6 x^2+6 x-x-1=0 \\ & \therefore 6 x(x+1)-1(x+1)=0 \\ & \therefore(x+1)(6 x-1)=0 \\ & \therefore x=-1 \text { or } x=\frac{1}{6}\end{aligned}$

But $x>0 \therefore x \neq-1$

Hence, $x=\frac{1}{6}$

Question 112 Marks
If $\sin \left(\sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{5}+\cos ^{-1} x\right)=1$, then find the value of $x$.
Answer
$\sin \left(\sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{5}=1\right.$

$\therefore \sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{5}+\cos ^{-1} x=\sin ^{-1}(1)$

$\therefore \sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{5}+\cos ^{-1} x=\sin ^{-1}\left(\sin \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$

$\therefore \sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{5}+\cos ^{-1} x=\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\therefore x=\frac{1}{5} \quad \cdots\left[\because \sin ^{-1} x+\cos ^{-1} x=\frac{\pi}{2}\right]$

Question 122 Marks
Prove that $\tan ^{-1} \sqrt{x}=\frac{1}{2} \cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1-x}{1+x}\right)$, if $\mathrm{x} \in[0,1]$.
Answer
Let $\tan ^{-1} \sqrt{x}=y$

$\therefore \tan y=\sqrt{x} \therefore x=\tan ^2 y$

Now, RHS $=\frac{1}{2} \cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1-x}{1+x}\right)$

$=\frac{1}{2} \cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1-\tan ^2 y}{1+\tan ^2 y}\right)$

$=\frac{1}{2} \cos ^{-1}(\cos 2 y)=\frac{1}{2}(2 y)=y$

$=\tan ^{-1} \sqrt{x}=\mathrm{LHS}$.

Answer
$\begin{aligned} & a \cos ^2 \frac{C}{2}+c \cos ^2 \frac{A}{2}=\frac{3 b}{2} \\ & \therefore a\left(\frac{1+\cos C}{2}\right)+c\left(\frac{1+\cos A}{2}\right)=\frac{3 b}{2}\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & \therefore \frac{1}{2}(a+a \cos \mathrm{C}+c+c \cos \mathrm{A})=\frac{3 b}{2} \\ & \therefore a+c+(a \cos \mathrm{C}+c \cos \mathrm{A})=3 b\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & \therefore a+c+b=3 b \ldots[\because a \cos C+c \cos A=b] \\ & \therefore a+c=2 b\end{aligned}$

Hence, $a, b, c$ are in A.P.

Question 142 Marks
In $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ if $\sin ^2 \mathrm{~A}+\sin ^2 \mathrm{~B}=\sin ^2 \mathrm{C}$ then prove that the triangle is a right angled triangle.Question is modified

In $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ if $\sin ^2 \mathrm{~A}+\sin ^2 B=\sin ^2 \mathrm{C}$ then show that the triangle is a right anqled triangle.

Answer
By sine rule,

$\frac{\sin \mathrm{A}}{a}=\frac{\sin \mathrm{B}}{b}=\frac{\sin \mathrm{C}}{c}=\mathrm{k}$

$\begin{aligned} & \therefore \sin A=k a, \sin B=k b, \sin C=k c \\ & \therefore \sin ^2 A+\sin ^2 B=\sin ^2 C\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & \therefore k^2 a^2+k^2 b^2=k^2 c^2 \\ & \therefore a^2+b^2=c^2\end{aligned}$

∴ ∆ABC is a rightangled triangle, rightangled at C.

Question 172 Marks
In $\triangle ABC$, if $A =60^{\circ}, b =3$ and $c =8$ then find $a$. Also find the circumradius of the triangle.
Answer
By Cosine rule, $a^2=b^2+c^2-2 b c \cos A$
$\therefore a^2=3^2+8^2-2(3)(8) \cos \left(60^{\circ}\right)$
$=9+64-48 \times \frac{1}{2}$
$ =73-24=49$
$\therefore  a^2=49$
$\therefore  a=7 $
Now by sine rule $\frac{a}{\sin A}=2 R$
$ \therefore \quad \frac{7}{\sin 60^{\circ}}=2 R$
$\therefore \quad \frac{7}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}=2 R$
$\therefore \quad R =\frac{7}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{7 \sqrt{3}}{3} $
The circumradius of the $\triangle ABC$ is $\frac{7 \sqrt{3}}{3}$

Question 182 Marks
In $\triangle ABC$ if $A =30^{\circ}, B =60^{\circ}$ then find the ratio of sides.
Answer
To find $a : b : c$Given $A =30^{\circ}, B =60^{\circ}$.
As A, B, C are angles of the triangle, A + B $+ C =180^{\circ}$
$\therefore \quad C =90^{\circ}$
By Sine rule,
$ \therefore \quad \frac{a}{\sin A}=\frac{b}{\sin B}=\frac{c}{\sin C}$
$\therefore \quad \frac{a}{\sin 30^{\circ}}=\frac{b}{\sin 60^{\circ}}=\frac{c}{\sin 90^{\circ}}$
$\therefore \quad \frac{\frac{a}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{b}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{c}{1} $
$\therefore \quad a: b: c=\frac{1}{2}: \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}: 1$
$\therefore \quad a: b: c=1: \sqrt{3}: 2$

$\tan \frac{5 \pi}{6}=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ and $\tan \frac{11 \pi}{6}=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

An $0 \leq \frac{5 \pi}{6}<2 \pi$ and $0 \leq \frac{11 \pi}{6}<2 \pi$

$\therefore \frac{5 \pi}{6}$ and $\frac{11 \pi}{6}$ are required principal solutions.

Question 322 Marks
Find the principal solutions of $\cos \theta=-\frac{1}{2}$
Answer
We known that $\cos \frac{\pi}{3}=\frac{1}{2}$As $\cos (\pi-\theta)=\cos (\pi+\theta)=-\cos \theta$,
$ \cos \left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=-\cos \frac{\pi}{3}=-\frac{1}{2} \text { and } \cos \left(\pi+\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=-\cos \frac{\pi}{3}=-\frac{1}{2}$
$\therefore \cos \frac{2 \pi}{3}=-\frac{1}{2} \text { and } \cos \frac{4 \pi}{3}=-\frac{1}{2} $
Also $0 \leq \frac{2 \pi}{3} \leq 2 \pi$ and $0 \leq \frac{4 \pi}{3}<2 \pi$. Therefore $\frac{2 \pi}{3}$ and $\frac{4 \pi}{3}$ are principal solutions of $\cos \theta=-\frac{1}{2}$

Find the principal solutions of $\sin \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$.
Answer
As $\sin \frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ and $0 \leq \frac{\pi}{4}<2 \pi, \frac{\pi}{4}$ is a principal solution.
By allied angle formula, $\sin \theta=\sin (\pi-\theta)$.
$
\therefore \sin \frac{\pi}{4}=\sin \left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=\sin \frac{3 \pi}{4} \text { and } 0 \leq \frac{3 \pi}{4}<2 \pi
$
$\therefore \frac{3 \pi}{4}$ is also a principal solution.
$\therefore \frac{\pi}{4}$ and $\frac{3 \pi}{4}$ are the principal solutions of $\sin \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$.

Question 352 Marks
Prove that $\tan ^{-1} 1+\tan ^{-1} 2+\tan ^{-1} 3=\pi$
Answer
We use the result:

$

\begin{aligned}

& \tan ^{-1} x+\tan ^{-1} y=\pi+\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{x+y}{1-x y}\right) \text { if } x y>1 \\

& \text { Here } x y=1 \times 2=2>1 \\

\therefore \quad & \tan ^{-1} 1+\tan ^{-1} 2=\pi+\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{1+2}{1-(1)(2)}\right) \\

= & \pi+\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{1-2}\right) \\

= & \pi+\tan ^{-1}(-3) \\

= & \pi-\tan ^{-1} 3\left(\text { As }, \tan ^{-1}(-x)=-\tan ^{-1} x\right) \\

\therefore & \tan ^{-1} 1+\tan ^{-1} 2+\tan ^{-1} 3=\pi

\end{aligned}

$\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{7 \pi}{3}\right)$

Answer
Here, $r=\frac{1}{2}$ and $\theta=\frac{7 \pi}{4}$

Let the cartesian coordinates be $(x, y)$

Then, $x=r \cos \theta=\frac{1}{2} \cos \frac{7 \pi}{3}=\frac{1}{2} \cos \left(2 \pi+\frac{\pi}{3}\right)$

$=\frac{1}{2} \cos \frac{\pi}{3}=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{4}$

$y=r \sin \theta=\frac{1}{2} \sin \frac{7 \pi}{3}=\frac{1}{2} \sin \left(2 \pi+\frac{\pi}{3}\right)$

$=\frac{1}{2} \sin \frac{\pi}{3}=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}$

Question 422 Marks
Find the of the polar co-ordinates point whose Cartesian co-ordinates are. :

$(1,-\sqrt{3})$

Answer
Here $x=1$ and $y=-\sqrt{3}$

∴ the point lies in the fourth quadrant.

Let the polar coordinates be (r, θ).

Then, $r^2=x^2+y^2=(1)^2+(-\sqrt{3})^2=1+3=4$

$\therefore r=2 \ldots[\because r>0]$

$\cos \theta=\frac{x}{r}=\frac{1}{2}$

and $\sin \theta=\frac{y}{r}=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$\therefore \tan \theta=-\sqrt{3}$

Since, the point lies in the fourth quadrant and

$0 \leqslant \theta<2 \pi$.

$\tan \theta=-\sqrt{3}=-\tan \frac{\pi}{3}$

$=\tan \left(2 \pi-\frac{\pi}{3}\right) \quad \ldots[\because \tan (2 \pi-\theta)=-\tan \theta]$

$=\tan \frac{5 \pi}{3}$

$\therefore \theta=\frac{5 \pi}{3}$

$\therefore$ the polar coordinates of the given point are $\left(2, \frac{5 \pi}{3}\right)$.

Question 432 Marks
Find the of the polar co-ordinates point whose Cartesian co-ordinates are. :

$\left(0, \frac{1}{2}\right)$

Answer
Here $x=0$ and $y=\frac{1}{2}$

the point lies on the positive side of Y-axis. Let the polar coordinates be (r, θ)

Then, $r^2=x^2+y^2=(0)^2+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2=0+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{4}$

$\therefore r=\frac{1}{2} \ldots[\because r>0]$

$\cos \theta=\frac{x}{r}=\frac{0}{(1 / 2)}=0$

and $\sin \theta=\frac{y}{r}=\frac{(1 / 2)}{(1 / 2)}=1$

Since, the point lies on the positive side of Y-axis and 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π

$\cos \theta=0=\cos \frac{\pi}{2}$ and $\sin \theta=1=\sin \frac{\pi}{2}$

$\therefore \theta=\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\therefore$ the polar coordinates of the given point are $\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$.

Question 442 Marks
Find the of the polar co-ordinates point whose Cartesian co-ordinates are. :

$(\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{2})$

Answer
Here $x=\sqrt{2}$ and $y=\sqrt{2}$

∴ the point lies in the first quadrant.

Let the polar coordinates be (r, θ)

Then, $r^2=x^2+y^2=(\sqrt{2})^2+(\sqrt{2})^2=2+2=4$

$\therefore r=2 \ldots[\because r>0]$

$\cos \theta=\frac{x}{r}=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

and $\sin \theta=\frac{y}{r}=\frac{\sqrt{ } 2}{2}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

$\therefore \tan \theta=1$

Since the point lies in the first quadrant and

$0 \leq \theta \leq 2 \pi, \tan \theta=1=\tan \frac{\pi}{4}$

$\therefore \theta=\frac{\pi}{4}$

$\therefore$ the polar coordinates of the given point are $\left(2, \frac{\pi}{4}\right)$.

Question 462 Marks
Find the principal solutions of the following equations :

$\cot \theta=\sqrt{3}$

Answer
The given equation is $\cot \theta=\sqrt{3}$ which is same as $\tan \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$.

We know that,

$\begin{aligned} & \tan \frac{\pi}{6}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \text { and } \tan (\pi+\theta)=\tan \theta \\ & \therefore \tan \frac{\pi}{6}=\tan \left(\pi+\frac{\pi}{6}\right)=\tan \frac{7 \pi}{6}\end{aligned}$

$\therefore \tan \frac{\pi}{6}=\tan \frac{7 \pi}{6}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$, where

$\begin{aligned} & 0<\frac{\pi}{6}<2 \pi \text { and } 0<\frac{7 \pi}{6}<2 \pi \\ & \therefore \cot \theta=\sqrt{3}, \text { i.e. } \tan \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \text { gives }\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & \tan \theta=\tan \frac{\pi}{6}=\tan \frac{7 \pi}{6} \\ & \therefore \theta=\frac{\pi}{6} \text { and } \theta=\frac{7 \pi}{6}\end{aligned}$
