Imagine standing at the center of a giant clock and walking around its edge; every step you take changes the angle and direction you are facing. This is what we are going to deal with in this chapter Trigonometric functions. Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that examines the relationships between the angles and sides of triangles. It helps us understand how angles and lengths are connected and are used in many fields like engineering, architecture, navigation, etc.

The NCERT Solutions for Exercise 3.3 will ease your preparation by offering detailed calculations that will simplify complex problems. These NCERT solutions are designed to improve your speed, accuracy and confidence to tackle all kind of questions. In this exercise of NCERT, you will go beyond the basic angles and explore how trigonometric functions behave for all types of angles including those greater than 360° or even negative!
Question 1: Prove that
Answer:
We know the values of sin (30 degree), cos (60 degree) and tan (45 degree). That is:
= R.H.S.
Question 3: Prove that
Answer:
We know the values of cot(30 degree), tan (30 degree) and cosec (30 degree)
R.H.S.
Question 5:(i) Find the value of
Answer:
We know that
(sin(x+y)=sinxcosy + cosxsiny)
Using this idendity
Question 6: Prove the following:
Answer:
Multiply and divide by 2 both cos and sin functions
We get,
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 =
B =
So,
As we know that
By using this
R.H.S
Question 8: Prove the following
Answer:
As we know that,
and
By using these our equation simplify to
R.H.S.
Question 9: Prove the following
Answer:
We know that
So, by using these our equation simplifies to
Question 10: Prove the following
Answer:
Multiply and divide by 2
Now by using identities
-2sinAsinB = cos(A+B) - cos(A-B)
2cosAcosB = cos(A+B) + cos(A-B)
R.H.S.
Question 11: Prove the following
Answer:
We know that
[ cos(A+B) - cos (A-B) = -2sinAsinB ]
By using this identity
Question 12: Prove the following
Answer:
We know that
So,
Now, we know that
By using these identities
sin6x + sin4x = 2sin5x cosx
sin6x - sin4x = 2cos5x sinx
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
Question 13: Prove the following
Answer:
As we know that
Now
By using these identities
cos2x - cos6x = -2sin(4x)sin(-2x) = 2sin4xsin2x (
cos(-x) = cosx)
cos2x + cos 6x = 2cos4xcos(-2x) = 2cos4xcos2x
So our equation becomes
R.H.S.
Question 14: Prove the following
Answer:
We know that
We are using this identity
sin2x + 2sin4x + sin6x = (sin2x + sin6x) + 2sin4x
sin2x + sin6x = 2sin4xcos(-2x) = 2sin4xcos(2x) (
So, our equation becomes
sin2x + 2sin4x + sin6x = 2sin4xcos(2x) + 2sin4x
Now, take the 2sin4x common
sin2x + 2sin4x + sin6x = 2sin4x(cos2x +1) (
=2sin4x(
=2sin4x(
=
R.H.S.
Question 15: Prove the following
Answer:
We know that
By using this , we get
sin5x + sin3x = 2sin4xcosx
now multiply and divide by sin x
Now we know that
By using this our equation becomes
R.H.S.
Question 22: prove the following
Answer:
cot x cot2x - cot3x(cot2x - cotx)
Now we can write cot3x = cot(2x + x)
and we know that
So,
= cotx cot2x - (cot2xcotx -1)
= cotx cot2x - cot2xcotx +1
= 1 = R.H.S.
Question 23: Prove that
Answer:
We know that
and we can write tan 4x = tan 2(2x)
So,
=
=
=
Question 24: Prove the following
Answer:
We know that
We use this in our problem
cos 4x = cos 2(2x)
=
=
=
Question 25: Prove the following
Answer:
We know that
cos 3x = 4
we use this in our problem
we can write cos 6x as cos 3(2x)
cos 3(2x) = 4
=
=
= 32
= 32
