Trigonometric Functions

EXERCISE 5.1 PAGE NO: 5.18


Prove the following identities:
1. sec4 x – sec2 x = tan4 x + tan2 x
Solution:
Let us consider LHS: sec4 x – sec2 x
(sec2 x)2 – sec2 x
By using the formula, sec2 θ = 1 + tan2 θ.
(1 + tan2 x) 2 – (1 + tan2 x)
1 + 2tan2 x + tan4 x – 1 - tan2 x
tan4 x + tan2 x
= RHS
∴ LHS = RHS
Hence proved.

2. sin6 x + cos6 x = 1 – 3 sin2 x cos2 x


Solution:
Let us consider LHS: sin6 x + cos6 x
(sin2 x) 3 + (cos2 x) 3
By using the formula, a3 + b3 = (a + b) (a2 + b2 – ab)
(sin2 x + cos2 x) [(sin2 x) 2 + (cos2 x) 2 – sin2 x cos2 x]
By using the formula, sin2 x + cos2 x = 1 and a2 + b2 = (a + b) 2 – 2ab
1 × [(sin2 x + cos2 x) 2 – 2sin2 x cos2 x – sin2 x cos2 x
12 - 3sin2 x cos2 x
1 - 3sin2 x cos2 x
= RHS
∴ LHS = RHS
Hence proved.

3. (cosec x – sin x) (sec x – cos x) (tan x + cot x) = 1


Solution:
Let us consider LHS: (cosec x – sin x) (sec x – cos x) (tan x + cot x)
By using the formulas
cosec θ = 1/sin θ;
sec θ = 1/cos θ;
tan θ = sin θ / cos θ;
cot θ = cos θ / sin θ
Now,

1 = RHS
∴ LHS = RHS
Hence proved.

4. cosec x (sec x – 1) – cot x (1 – cos x) = tan x – sin x


Solution:
Let us consider LHS: cosec x (sec x – 1) – cot x (1 – cos x)
By using the formulas
cosec θ = 1/sin θ;
sec θ = 1/cos θ;
tan θ = sin θ / cos θ;
cot θ = cos θ / sin θ
Now,

By using the formula, 1 – cos2x = sin2x;

By using the formula, a3 - b3 = (a - b) (a2 + b2 + ab)

By using the formula,


cosec θ = 1/sin θ,
sec θ = 1/cos θ;
cosec x × sec x + 1
sec x cosec x + 1
=RHS
∴ LHS = RHS
Hence Proved.

7.

Solution:
Let us consider LHS:

By using the formula a3 ± b3 = (a ± b) (a2 + b2∓ ab)

2
= RHS
∴ LHS = RHS
Hence Proved.

8. (sec x sec y + tan x tan y)2 – (sec x tan y + tan x sec y)2 = 1
Solution:
Let us consider LHS:
(sec x sec y + tan x tan y)2 – (sec x tan y + tan x sec y)2
Expanding the above equation we get,
[(sec x sec y)2 + (tan x tan y)2 + 2 (sec x sec y) (tan x tan y)] – [(sec x tan y)2 + (tan x sec
y)2 + 2 (sec x tan y) (tan x sec y)]
[sec2 x sec2 y + tan2 x tan2 y + 2 (sec x sec y) (tan x tan y)] – [sec2 x tan2 y + tan2 x sec2 y
+ 2 (sec2 x tan2 y) (tan x sec y)]
sec2 x sec2 y - sec2 x tan2 y + tan2 x tan2 y - tan2 x sec2 y
sec2 x (sec2 y - tan2 y) + tan2 x (tan2 y - sec2 y)
sec2 x (sec2 y - tan2 y) - tan2 x (sec2 y - tan2 y)
We know, sec2 x – tan2 x = 1.
sec2 x × 1 – tan2 x × 1
sec2 x – tan2 x
1 = RHS
∴ LHS = RHS
Hence proved.

13. (1 + tan α tan β) 2 + (tan α – tan β) 2 = sec2 α sec2 β


Solution:
Let us consider LHS: (1 + tan α tan β) 2 + (tan α – tan β) 2
1+ tan2 α tan2 β + 2 tan α tan β + tan2 α + tan2 β – 2 tan α tan β
1 + tan2 α tan2 β + tan2 α + tan2 β

(1 + tan2 β) (1 + tan2 α)
We know, 1 + tan2 θ = sec2 θ
So,
sec2 α sec2 β
