If $\cos\text{x}-\sin\text{x}=\text{a}^3, \sec\text{x}-\cos\text{x}=\text{b}^3,$ than proved that $a^2b^2 (a^2 + b^2) = 1.$
AnswerGiven: $\text{cosec }\text{x}-\sin\text{x}=\text{a}^3,\sec\text{x}-\cos\text{x}=\text{b}^2$
To show: $\text{a}^2\text{b}^2(\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2)=1$
Since, $\text{cosec }\text{x}-\sin\text{x}=\text{a}^3$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\sin\text{x}}-\sin\text{x}=\text{a}^3$ $\Big(\because\text{cosec }\text{x}=\frac{1}{\sin\text{x}}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1-\sin^2\text{x}}{\sin\text{x}}=\text{a}^3$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\cos^2\text{x}}{\sin\text{x}}=\text{a}^3$ $(\because1-\sin^2\text{x}=\cos^2\text{x})$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}=\frac{\cos\frac{2}{3}\text{x}}{\sin\frac{1}{3}\text{x}}$
Since, $\frac{1}{\cos\text{x}}-\cos\text{x}=\text{b}^3$ $\Big(\because\sec\text{x}=\frac{1}{\cos\text{x}}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1-\cos^2\text{x}}{\cos\text{x}}=\text{b}^3$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\sin^2\text{x}}{\cos\text{x}}=\text{b}^3$ $(\because1-\cos^2\text{x}=\sin^2\text{x})$
$\Rightarrow\text{b}=\frac{\sin\frac{2}{3}\text{x}}{\cos\frac{1}{3}\text{x}}$
Now, $\text{a}^2\text{b}^2 \text{(a}^2 +\text{ b}^2)$
$=\frac{\cos\frac{4}{3}\text{x}}{\sin\frac{2}{3}\text{x}}\times\frac{\sin\frac{4}{3}\text{x}}{\cos\frac{2}{3}\text{x}}\Bigg(\frac{\cos\frac{4}{3}\text{x}}{\sin\frac{2}{3}\text{x}}+\frac{\sin\frac{4}{3}\text{x}}{\cos\frac{2}{3}\text{x}}\Bigg)$
$=\cos\frac{2}{3}\text{x}\times\sin\frac{2}{3}\text{x}\frac{\Big(\cos\frac{6}{3}\text{x}+\sin\frac{6}{3}\text{x}\Big)}{\sin\frac{2}{3}\text{x}.\cos\frac{2}{3}\text{x}}$

If $\text{a}=\frac{2\sin\text{x}}{1+\cos\text{x}+\sin\text{x}},$ then proved that $\frac{1-\cos\text{x}+\sin\text{x}}{1+\sin\text{x}}$ is also equal to a.
AnswerWe have, $\frac{2\sin\alpha}{1\cos\alpha+\sin\alpha}=\text{y}$
Now, $\frac{1-\cos\alpha+\sin\alpha}{1+\sin\alpha}=\frac{(1-\cos\alpha+\sin\alpha)}{(1+\sin\alpha)}.\frac{(1+\cos\alpha+\sin\alpha)}{(1+\cos\alpha+\sin\alpha)}$

If $\sin\text{x}+\cos\text{x}=0$ and x lies in the fourth quadrant, find $\sin \text{x } $and $\cos\text{x}.$
AnswerWe have:$\sin\text{x} +\cos\text{x} = 0$
$\Rightarrow \sin \text{x} = - \cos\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\sin\text{x}}{\cos\text{x}} = -1$$\Rightarrow \tan\text{x} = - 1$
Now, x is in the fourth quadrant. In the fourth quadrant, $\cos\text{x}$ and $\sec\text{x}$ are positive and all the other four T - ratios are$\therefore\ =\sqrt{ 1+\tan^2\text{x}} = \sqrt{1+(-1)^2}=\sqrt2$
$\cos\text{x} = \frac{1}{\sec\text{x}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}$
And, $\sin\text{x}= -\sqrt{1-\cos^2\text{x}} = \sqrt{1-\Big(\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\Big)^2} =\frac{-1}{\sqrt2}$$\therefore\sin\text{x}= \frac{-1}{\sqrt2}$ and $\cos\text{x}= \frac{1}{\sqrt2}$

If $\sin\text{x}=\frac{12}{13}$ and x lies in the second quadrant, find the value of $\sec\text{x}+\tan\text{x}.$
AnswerWe have: $\sin\text{x}=\frac{12}{13}$ and x lie in the second quadrant.In the second quadrant, $\sin\text{x}$ and $\text{cosec}\text{ x}$ are positive and all the other four T ratios.$\therefore\cos\text{x}=-\sqrt{1-\sin^2\text{x}}\\$
$=-\sqrt{1-\Big(\frac{12}{13}\Big)^2}$
$=\frac{-5}{13}$
$\tan\text{x}=\frac{\sin\text{x}}{\cos\text{x}}$
$=\frac{\frac{12}{13}}{\frac{-5}{13}}$ $=\frac{-12}{5}$ And, $\sec\text{x}=\frac{1}{\cos\text{x}}$$=\frac{1}{\frac{-5}{13}}$
$=\frac{-13}{5}$
$\therefore\sec\text{x}+\tan\text{x}=\frac{-13}{5}+\frac{-12}{5}$
$ = - 5$

If $\sin\text{x}+\sin\cos\text{x}=\text{m},$ then prove that $\sin^6\text{x}+\cos^6\text{x}=\frac{4-3(\text{m}^2-1)^2}{4},$ where $\text{m}^2\leq2$
AnswerTo show: $\sin^6\text{x}+\cos^6\text{x}=\frac{4-3(\text{m}^2-1)^2}{4},$ $\text{ where m}^2\leq2$
Since, $\sin\text{x}+\cos\text{x}=\text{m}\cdots(\text{i})$
$\Rightarrow(\sin\text{x}+\cos\text{x})^2=\text{m}^2$
$\Rightarrow\sin^2\text{x}+\cos^2\text{x}+2\sin\text{x}\cos\text{x}=\text{m}^2$
$\Rightarrow1+2\sin\text{x}\cos\text{x}=\text{m}^2$ $(\because\sin^2\text{x}+\cos^2\text{x}=1)$
$\Rightarrow2\sin\text{x}\cos\text{x}=\text{m}^2-1$
$\Rightarrow\sin\text{x}\cos\text{x}=\frac{\text{m}^2-1}{2}\cdots(\text{ii})$
$\therefore\text{L.H.S}=\sin^6\text{x}+\cos^2\text{x}$
$=(\sin^2\text{x})^3+(\cos^3\text{x})^3$
$=(\sin^2\text{x}+\cos^2\text{x})(\sin^2\text{x})^2+(\cos^2\text{x})^2-\sin^2\text{x}\cos^2\text{x}$
