NCERT solutions for class 11 maths chapter 3 trigonometric functions-Exercise: 3.3

Question:1 Prove that \small \sin ^{2} \left ( \frac{\pi }{6} \right ) + \cos ^{2}\left ( \frac{\pi }{3} \right ) - \tan ^{2}\left ( \frac{\pi }{4} \right ) = -\frac{1}{2}

Answer:

We know the values of sin (30 degree), cos (60 degree) and tan (45 degree). That is:


\sin \left ( \frac{\pi}{6} \right ) = \left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )\\ \\ \cos \left ( \frac{\pi}{3} \right ) = \left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )\\ \\ \tan \left ( \frac{\pi}{4} \right ) = 1
\sin^{2}\frac{\pi}{6}+\cos^{2}\frac{\pi}{3}-\tan^{2}\frac{\pi}{4}= \left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )^{2}+ \left ( \frac {1}{2} \right )^{2}-1^{2}

= \frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}-1= -\frac{1}{2}
= R.H.S.

Question:2 Prove that \small 2\sin ^{2}\left ( \frac{\pi }{6} \right ) + cosec ^{2}\left ( \frac{7\pi }{6} \right )\cos ^{2}\frac{\pi }{3} = \frac{3}{2}

Answer:

The solutions for the given problem is done as follows.

\sin\frac{\pi}{6} = \frac {1}{2}\\ \\ cosec\frac{7\pi}{6} = cosec\left ( \pi + \frac{\pi}{6} \right ) = -cosec \frac{\pi}{6}=-2\\ \\ \cos \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{1}{2}
2\sin^{2}\frac{\pi}{6} +cosec^{2}\frac{7\pi}{6}\cos^{2}\frac{\pi}{3} = 2\left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )^{2}+\left ( -2 \right )^{2}\left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )^{2}\\ \\ \Rightarrow 2\times\frac{1}{4} + 4\times\frac{1}{4} = \frac {1}{2} + 1= \frac{3}{2}
R.H.S.

Question:3 Prove that \small \cot ^{2}\left ( \frac{\pi }{6} \right ) + \csc \left ( \frac{5\pi }{6} \right ) + 3\tan ^{2}\left ( \frac{\pi }{6} \right ) = 6

Answer:

We know the values of cot(30 degree), tan (30 degree) and cosec (30 degree)

\cot \frac{\pi}{6} = \sqrt{3}\\ \\ cosec\frac{5\pi}{6} = cosec\left ( \pi - \frac{\pi}{6} \right )=cosec\frac{\pi}{6} = 2\\ \\ \tan\frac{\pi}{6}= \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}

\cot^{2}\frac{\pi}{6} + cosec\frac{5\pi}{6} +3\tan^{2}\frac{\pi}{6} = \left ( \sqrt(3) \right )^{2} + 2 + 3\times\left ( \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \right )^{2}\\ \\ \Rightarrow 3+2+1 = 6
R.H.S.

Question:4 Prove that \small 2\sin ^{2}\left ( \frac{3\pi }{4} \right ) + 2\cos ^{2}\left ( \frac{\pi }{4} \right ) + 2\sec ^{2}\left ( \frac{\pi }{3} \right ) = 10

Answer:

\sin \frac{3\pi}{4} = \sin\left ( \pi-\frac{\pi}{4} \right ) = \sin \frac{\pi}{4}= \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\\ \\ \cos \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\\ \\ \sec\frac{\pi}{3}= 2
Using the above values

2\sin^{2}\frac{3\pi}{4} +2\cos^{2}\frac{\pi}{4}+2\sec^{2}\frac{\pi}{3} = 2\times\left ( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right )^{2}+2\times\left ( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right )^{2}+2\left ( 2 \right )^{2}\\ \\ \Rightarrow 1+1+8=10
R.H.S.

Question:5(i) Find the value of \small (i) \sin 75\degree

Answer:

\sin 75\degree = \sin(45\degree + 30\degree)
We know that
(sin(x+y)=sinxcosy + cosxsiny)
Using this idendity

\sin 75\degree = \sin(45\degree + 30\degree) = \sin45\degree\cos30\degree + \cos45\degree\sin30\degree\\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\times\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\times\frac{1}{2}\\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2\sqrt{2}}

Question:5(ii) Find the value of
\small (ii) \tan 15\degree

Answer:

\tan 15\degree = \tan (45\degree - 30\degree)
We know that,

\left [ \tan(x-y)= \frac{\tan x - \tan y}{1+\tan x\tan y} \right ]
By using this we can write

\tan (45\degree - 30\degree)= \frac{\tan 45\degree - tan30\degree}{1+\tan45\degree\tan30\degree}\\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}{1+1\left ( \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \right )} = \frac{\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{3}}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{3}}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{3}+1}=\frac{\left ( \sqrt{3}-1 \right )^{2}}{\left ( \sqrt{3}+1 \right )\left ( \sqrt{3} -1\right )}=\frac{3+1-2\sqrt{3}}{\left ( \sqrt{3} \right )^{2}-\left ( 1 \right )^{2}}\\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac {4-2\sqrt{3}}{3-1}=\frac{2\left ( 2-\sqrt{3} \right )}{2}= 2-\sqrt{3}

Question:6 Prove the following: \small \cos \left ( \frac{\pi }{4}-x \right )\cos \left ( \frac{\pi }{4}-y \right ) - \sin \left ( \frac{\pi }{4} -x\right )\sin \left ( \frac{\pi }{4}-y \right ) =\sin (x+y)

Answer:

\cos\left ( \frac{\pi}{4}-x \right )\cos\left ( \frac{\pi}{4}-y \right ) - \sin\left ( \frac{\pi}{4}-x \right )\sin\left ( \frac{\pi}{4}-y \right )

Multiply and divide by 2 both cos and sin functions
We get,

\frac{1}{2}\left [2 \cos\left ( \frac{\pi}{4}-x \right )\cos\left ( \frac{\pi}{4}-y \right ) \right ] + \frac{1}{2}\left [- 2\sin\left ( \frac{\pi}{4}-x \right )\sin\left ( \frac{\pi}{4}-y \right ) \right ]

Now, we know that

2cosAcosB = cos(A+B) + cos(A-B) -(i)
-2sinAsinB = cos(A+B) - cos(A-B) -(ii)
We use these two identities

In our question A = \left (\frac{\pi}{4}-x \right )

B = \left (\frac{\pi}{4}-y \right )
So,

\frac{1}{2}\left [ \cos \left \{ \left ( \frac{\pi}{4}-x \right) +\left ( \frac{\pi}{4}-y \right ) \right \} + \cos \left \{ \left ( \frac{\pi}{4}-x \right) -\left ( \frac{\pi}{4}-y \right ) \right \} \right ] +\\ \\ \frac{1}{2}\left [ \cos \left \{ \left ( \frac{\pi}{4}-x \right) +\left ( \frac{\pi}{4}-y \right ) \right \} - \cos \left \{ \left ( \frac{\pi}{4}-x \right) +\left ( \frac{\pi}{4}-y \right ) \right \} \right ]

\Rightarrow 2 \times \frac{1}{2} \left [ \cos \left \{ \left ( \frac{\pi}{4}-x \right )+\left ( \frac{\pi}{4}-y \right ) \right \} \right ]

= \cos \left [ \frac{\pi}{2}-(x+y) \right ]

As we know that

(\cos \left ( \frac{\pi}{2} - A \right ) = \sin A)
By using this

= \cos \left [ \frac{\pi}{2}-(x+y) \right ] =\sin(x+y)

R.H.S

Question:7 Prove the following \small \frac{\tan \left ( \frac{\pi }{4}+x \right )}{\tan \left ( \frac{\pi }{4} -x\right )} = \left ( \frac{1+\tan x}{1-\tan x} \right )^{2}

Answer:

As we know that

(\tan (A +B ) = \frac {\tan A + \tan B}{1- \tan A\tan B}) and \tan (A-B) = \frac {\tan A - \tan B }{1+ \tan A \tan B}

So, by using these identities

\frac{\tan \left ( \frac{\pi}{4}+x \right )}{\tan \left ( \frac{\pi}{4}-x \right )} = \frac{\frac{\tan \frac {\pi}{4} + \tan x}{1- \tan \frac{\pi}{4}\tan x}} {\frac{\tan \frac {\pi}{4} - \tan x}{1+ \tan \frac{\pi}{4}\tan x}} =\frac{ \frac {1+\tan x }{1- \tan x}} { \frac {1-\tan x }{1+ \tan x}} = \left ( \frac{1 + \tan x}{1 - \tan x} \right )^{2}
R.H.S

Question:8 Prove the following \small \frac{\cos (\pi +x)\cos (-x)}{\sin (\pi -x)\cos \left ( \frac{\pi }{2}+x \right )} = \cot ^{2} x

Answer:

As we know that,
\cos(\pi+x) = -\cos x , \sin (\pi - x ) = \sin x , \cos \left ( \frac{\pi}{2} + x\right ) = - \sin x
and
\cos (-x) = \cos x

By using these our equation simplify to

\frac{\cos x \times -\cos x}{sin x \times - \sin x} = \frac{- \cos^{2}x}{-\sin^{2}x} = \cot ^ {2}x (\because \cot x = \frac {\cos x}{\sin x})
R.H.S.

Question:9 Prove the following \small \cos \left ( \frac{3\pi }{2} +x\right )\cos (2\pi +x)\left [ \cot \left ( \frac{3\pi }{2}-x \right ) +\cot (2\pi +x)\right ] = 1

Answer:

We know that

\cos \left ( \frac{3\pi}{2}+x \right ) = \sin x\\ \\ \cos (2\pi +x)= \cos x\\ \\ \cot\left ( \frac{3\pi}{2} -x\right ) = \tan x\\ \\ \cot (2\pi + x) = \cot x

So, by using these our equation simplifies to

\cos \left ( \frac{3\pi }{2} +x\right )\cos (2\pi +x)\left [ \cot \left ( \frac{3\pi }{2}-x \right ) +\cot (2\pi +x)\right ] \\=\sin x\cos x [\tan x + \cot x] = \sin x\cos x [\frac {\sin x}{\cos x} + \frac{\cos x}{\sin x}]\\ \\ \Rightarrow \sin x\cos x\left [ \frac{\sin^{2}x+\cos^{2}x}{\sin x\cos x } \right ] =\sin^{2}x+\cos^{2}x = 1 R.H.S.

Question:10 Prove the following \small \sin (n+1)x\sin(n+2)x + \cos(n+1)x\cos(n+2)x =\cos x

Answer:

Multiply and divide by 2

= \frac {2\sin(n+1)x \sin(n+2)x + 2\cos (n+1)x\cos(n+2)x}{2}

Now by using identities

-2sinAsinB = cos(A+B) - cos(A-B)
2cosAcosB = cos(A+B) + cos(A-B)

\frac{\left \{ -\left (\cos(2n+3)x - \cos (-x) \right ) + \left ( \cos(2n+3) +\cos(-x) \right )\right \}}{2}\\ \\ \left ( \because \cos(-x) = \cos x \right )\\ \\ = \frac{2\cos x}{2} = \cos x

R.H.S.

Question:11 Prove the following \small \cos \left ( \frac{3\pi }{4}+x \right ) - \cos\left ( \frac{3\pi }{4} -x\right ) = -\sqrt{2} \sin x

Answer:

We know that

[ cos(A+B) - cos (A-B) = -2sinAsinB ]

By using this identity

\cos \left ( \frac {3\pi}{4}+x \right ) - \cos \left ( \frac {3\pi}{4}-x \right ) = -2\sin\frac{3\pi}{4}\sin x = -2\times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\sin x\\ \\ = -\sqrt{2}\sin x R.H.S.

Question:12 Prove the following \small \sin^{2}6x - \sin^{2}4x = \sin2x\sin10x

Answer:

We know that
a^{2} - b^{2} = (a+b)(a-b)

So,
\sin^{2}6x - \sin^{2}4x =(\sin6x + \sin4x)(\sin6x - \sin4x)

Now, we know that

\sin A + \sin B = 2\sin \left ( \frac{A+B}{2} \right )\cos\left ( \frac{A-B}{2} \right )\\ \\ \sin A - \sin B = 2\cos \left ( \frac{A+B}{2} \right )\sin\left ( \frac{A-B}{2} \right )
By using these identities
sin6x + sin4x = 2sin5x cosx
sin6x - sin4x = 2cos5x sinx

\Rightarrow \sin^{2}6x - \sin^{2}4x = (2\cos5x\sin5x)(2\sin x\cos x)

Now,

2sinAcosB = sin(A+B) + sin(A-B)
2cosAsinB = sin(A+B) - sin(A-B)

by using these identities

2cos5x sin5x = sin10x - 0
2sinx cosx = sin2x + 0

hence
\sin^{2}6x-\sin^{2}4x = \sin2x\sin10x

Question:13 Prove the following \small \cos^{2}2x - \cos^{2}6x = \sin4x\sin8x

Answer:

As we know that

a^{2}-b^{2} =(a-b)(a+b)

\therefore \cos^{2}2x -\cos^{2}6x = (\cos2x-\cos6x)(\cos2x+\cos6x)
Now
\cos A - \cos B = -2\sin\left ( \frac{A+B}{2} \right )\sin\left ( \frac{A-B}{2} \right )\\ \\ \cos A + \cos B = 2\cos\left ( \frac{A+B}{2} \right )\cos\left ( \frac{A-B}{2} \right )
By using these identities

cos2x - cos6x = -2sin(4x)sin(-2x) = 2sin4xsin2x ( \because sin(-x) = -sin x
cos(-x) = cosx)
cos2x + cos 6x = 2cos4xcos(-2x) = 2cos4xcos2x

So our equation becomes

R.H.S.

Question:14 Prove the following \small \sin2x +2\sin4x + \sin6x = 4\cos^{2}x\sin4x

Answer:

We know that
\sin A+ \sin B = 2\sin \left ( \frac{A+B}{2} \right )\cos\left ( \frac{A-B}{2} \right )
We are using this identity
sin2x + 2sin4x + sin6x = (sin2x + sin6x) + 2sin4x

sin2x + sin6x = 2sin4xcos(-2x) = 2sin4xcos(2x) ( \because cos(-x) = cos x)

So, our equation becomes
sin2x + 2sin4x + sin6x = 2sin4xcos(2x) + 2sin4x
Now, take the 2sin4x common
sin2x + 2sin4x + sin6x = 2sin4x(cos2x +1) ( \because \cos2x = 2\cos^{2}x - 1 )
=2sin4x( 2\cos^{2}x - 1 +1 )
=2sin4x( 2\cos^{2}x )
= 4\sin4x\cos^{2}x
R.H.S.

Question:15 Prove the following \small \cot4x(\sin5x + \sin3x) = \cot x(\sin5x - \sin3x)

Answer:

We know that
\sin x + \sin y = 2\sin\left ( \frac{x+y}{2} \right )\cos\left (\frac{x-y}{2} \right )
By using this , we get

sin5x + sin3x = 2sin4xcosx

\frac{\cos4x}{\sin4x}\left ( 2\sin4x\cos x \right ) = 2\cos4x\cos x\\ \\

now nultiply and divide by sin x

\\\ \\ \frac{2\cos4x\cos x \sin x}{\sin x } \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \\ \\ =\cot x (2\cos4x\sin x) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \left ( \because \frac{\cos x}{\ sin x} = \cot x \right )\\ \\

Now we know that

\\ 2\cos x\sin y = \sin(x+y) - \sin(x-y)\\ \\

By using this our equation becomes

\\ \\=\cot x (\sin5x - sin3x)\\
R.H.S.

Question:16 Prove the following \small \frac{\cos 9x - \cos 5x}{\sin17x - \sin3x} = -\frac{\sin2x}{\cos10x}

Answer:

As we know that

\\ \cos x - \cos y = -2\sin\frac{x+y}{2}\sin\frac{x-y}{2 }\\ \\ \cos 9x - \cos 5x = -2\sin 7x \sin2x \\ \\ \sin x - \sin y = 2\cos\frac{x+y}{2}\sin\frac{x-y}{2 }\\ \\ \sin 17x - \sin 3x = 2\cos10x \sin7x\\ \\ \frac{\cos 9x - \cos 5x}{\sin 17x - \sin 3x} =\frac{-2\sin 7x \sin2x}{2\cos10x \sin7x} = -\frac{\sin 2x}{\cos10x}
R.H.S.

Question:17 Prove the following \small \frac{\sin5x + \sin3x}{\cos5x + \cos3x} = \tan4x

Answer:

We know that

\\ \sin A + \sin B = 2\sin\frac{A+B}{2}\cos\frac{A-B}{2}\\and\\ \\ \cos A + \cos B = 2\cos\frac{A+B}{2}\cos\frac{A-B}{2} \\

We use these identities

\\ \sin5x + \sin3x = 2\sin4x\cos x\\ \cos5 x + \cos 3x = 2\cos4x\cos x \\ \\ \frac{\sin5x + \sin3x}{\cos5 x + \cos 3x} = \frac{ 2\sin4x\cos x}{2\cos4x\cos x} = \frac{\sin4x}{\cos 4x} = \tan 4x
R.H.S.

Question:18 Prove the following \small \frac{\sin x - \sin y}{\cos x+\cos y} = \tan \frac{(x-y)}{2}

Answer:

We know that
\sin x - \sin y = 2\cos\frac{x+y}{2 }\sin\frac{x-y}{2}\\and \\ \\ \cos x +\cos y = 2\cos\frac{x+y}{2 }\cos\frac{x-y}{2}\\

We use these identities

\\ We \ use \ these \ identities\\ \\ \frac{\sin x - \sin y}{\cos x +\cos y} =\frac{2\cos\frac{x+y}{2 }\sin\frac{x-y}{2}}{ 2\cos\frac{x+y}{2 }\cos\frac{x-y}{2}} = \frac{\sin\frac{x-y}{2}}{\cos\frac{x-y}{2}} = \tan \frac{x-y}{2}

R.H.S.

Question:19 Prove the following \small \frac{\sin x + \sin 3x}{\cos x + \cos3x} = \tan2x

Answer:

We know that

\\ \sin x + \sin y = 2\sin\frac{x+y}{2}\cos\frac{x-y}{2}\\and\\ \\ \cos x + \cos y = 2\cos\frac{x+y}{2}\cos\frac{x-y}{2}\\ \\ We \ use \ these \ equations \\ \\ \sin x + \sin3x = 2\sin2x\cos(-x) = 2\sin2x\cos x \ \ \ \ \ (\because \cos(-x) = \cos x)\\ \\ \cos x + \cos3x = 2\cos2x\cos(-x) =2\cos2x\cos x \ \ \ \ \ (\because \cos(-x) = \cos x)\\ \\ \frac{\sin x + \sin3x}{\cos x + \cos3x} = \frac {2\sin2x\cos x}{2\cos2x\cos x}= \frac{\sin2x}{\cos2x} = \tan2x R.H.S.

Question:20 Prove the following \small \frac{\sin x - \sin 3x}{\sin^{2}x-\cos^{2}x} = 2\sin x

Answer:
We know that

\sin3x = 3\sin x - 4\sin^{3}x \ \ \ , \ \ \cos^{2}-\sin^{2}x = \cos2x \\and \\ \cos2x = 1 - 2\sin^{2}x \\

We use these identities

\sin x - \sin3x = \sin x - (3\sin x - 4\sin^{3}x) = 4\sin^{3}x - 2\sin x\\ . \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = 2\sin x (2\sin^{2}x - 1)\\ \\ \cos^{2}x- \sin^{2} = \cos2x\\ \cos2x = 1 - 2\sin^{2}x \sin x - \sin3x = \sin x - (3\sin x - 4\sin^{3}x) = 4\sin^{3}x - 2\sin x\\ . \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = 2\sin x (2\sin^{2}x - 1)\\ \\ \sin^{2}-\cos^{2}x = - \cos2x \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (\cos2x = 1 - 2\sin^{2}x)\\ \sin^{2}-\cos^{2}x = -( 1 - 2\sin^{2}x) = 2\sin^(2)x - 1\\ \\ \frac{\sin x - \sin3x}{\sin^{2}-\cos^{2}x } = \frac{ 2\sin x (2\sin^{2}x - 1)}{ 2\sin^(2)x - 1} = 2\sin x \sin x - \sin3x = \sin x - (3\sin x - 4\sin^{3}x) = 4\sin^{3}x - 2\sin x\\ . \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = 2\sin x (2\sin^{2}x - 1)\\ \\ \sin^{2}-\cos^{2}x = - \cos2x \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (\because \cos2x = 1 - 2\sin^{2}x)\\ \sin^{2}-\cos^{2}x = -( 1 - 2\sin^{2}x) = 2\sin^(2)x - 1\\ \\ \frac{\sin x - \sin3x}{\sin^{2}-\cos^{2}x } = \frac{ 2\sin x (2\sin^{2}x - 1)}{ 2\sin^{2}x - 1} = 2\sin x
R.H.S.

Question:21 Prove the following \small \frac{\cos 4x + \cos 3x + \cos 2x}{\sin 4x + \sin 3x + \sin 2x} = \cot 3x

Answer:

We know that

\cos x + \cos y = 2\cos\frac{x+y}{2}\cos\frac{x-y}{2}\\ and \\ \sin x + \sin y = 2\sin\frac{x+y}{2}\cos\frac{x-y}{2}
We use these identities

\frac{(\cos4x + \cos2x) + \cos3x}{(\sin4x+\sin2x)+\sin3x} = \frac{2\cos3x\cos x + \cos3x}{2\sin3x\cos x+\sin3x} = \frac{2\cos3x(1+\cos x)}{2\sin3x(1+\cos x)}\\ \ \ \\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = cot 3x

=RHS

Question:22 prove the following \small \cot x \cot2x - \cot2x\cot3x - \cot3x\cot x =1

Answer:

cot x cot2x - cot3x(cot2x - cotx)
Now we can write cot3x = cot(2x + x)

and we know that

cot(a+b) = \frac{\cot a \cot b - 1}{\cot a + \cot b}
So,
cotx\ cot2x-\frac{\cot 2x \cot x - 1}{\cot 2x + \cot x}(cot2x+cotx)
= cotx cot2x - (cot2xcotx -1)
= cotx cot2x - cot2xcotx +1
= 1 = R.H.S.

Question:23 Prove that \small \tan4x = \frac{4\tan x(1-\tan^{2}x)}{1-6 \tan^{2}x+\tan^{4}x}

Answer:

We know that

tan2A=\frac{2\tan A}{1 - \tan^{2}A}

and we can write tan 4x = tan 2(2x)
So, tan4x=\frac{2\tan 2x}{1 - \tan^{2}2x} = \frac{2( \frac{2\tan x}{1 - \tan^{2}x})}{1 - (\frac{2\tan x}{1 - \tan^{2}x})^{2}}


= \frac{2 (2\tan x)(1 - \tan^{2}x)}{(1-\tan x)^{2} - (4\tan^{2} x)}

= \frac{(4\tan x)(1 - \tan^{2}x)}{(1)^{2}+(\tan^{2} x)^{2} - 2 \tan^{2} x - (4\tan^{2} x)}

= \frac{(4\tan x)(1 - \tan^{2}x)}{1^{2}+\tan^{4} x - 6 \tan^{2} x } = R.H.S.

Question:24 Prove the following \small \cos4x = 1 - 8\sin^{2}x\cos^{2}x

Answer:

We know that
cos2x=1-2\sin^{2}x
We use this in our problem
cos 4x = cos 2(2x)
= 1-2\sin^{2}2x
= 1-2(2\sin x \cos x)^{2} (\because \sin2x = 2\sin x \cos x)
= 1-8\sin^{2}x\cos^{2}x = R.H.S.

Question:25 Prove the following \small \cos6x = 32\cos^{6}x -48\cos^{4}x + 18\cos^{2}x-1

Answer:

We know that
cos 3x = 4 \cos^{3}x - 3cos x
we use this in our problem
we can write cos 6x as cos 3(2x)
cos 3(2x) = 4 \cos^{3}2x - 3 cos 2x
= 4(2\cos^{2}x - 1)^{3} - 3(2\cos^{2}x - 1) (\because \cos 2x = 2\cos^{2}x - 1)
= 4[(2cos^{2}x)^{3} -(1)^{3} -3(2cos^{2}x)^{2}(1) + 3(2cos^{2}x)(1)^{2}] -6\cos^{2}x + 3 (\because (a-b)^{3} = a^{3} - b^{3} - 3a^{2}b+ 3ab^{2})
= 32 cos^{6}x - 4 - 48 cos^{4}x + 24 cos^{2}x - 6\cos^{2}x + 3
= 32 cos^{6}x - 48 cos^{4}x + 18 cos^{2}x - 1 = R.H.S.
