A teacher asked his students to draw a right triangle $ABC$ with $AB = 8$ cm, $\angle B = 90^\circ$ and $BC = 15$ cm. Based on the above, answer the following :
(i) Evaluate $(\sin^2 A - \cos^2 A)$
(ii) Evaluate $(\frac{1}{\cos^2 A} - \frac{1}{\cot^2 A})$
(iii) (a) Evaluate $\frac{2 \tan A}{1 + \tan^2 A}$ and prove that it is equal to $2 \sin A \cos A$.
OR
(iii) (b) Evaluate : $\frac{\tan^2 A - \sec^2 A}{\cot^2 A - \csc^2 A}$.
Show SolutionHide Solution
(i) Hypotenuse $AC = 17$ cm $\implies \sin^2 A - \cos^2 A = (\frac{15}{17})^2 - (\frac{8}{17})^2 = \frac{161}{289}$
(ii) $\frac{1}{\cos^2 A} - \frac{1}{\cot^2 A} = \frac{17^2}{8^2} - \frac{15^2}{8^2} = 1$
(iii) (a) $\frac{2 \tan A}{1 + \tan^2 A} = \frac{2 \times \frac{15}{8}}{1 + \frac{15^2}{8^2}} = \frac{240}{289}$
$2 \sin A \cos A = 2 \times \frac{15}{17} \times \frac{8}{17} = \frac{240}{289}$ Hence they are equal
Note : Marks should be awarded to the alternate solution as well : $\frac{2 \tan A}{\sec^2 A} = \frac{2 \times \frac{\sin A}{\cos A}}{\frac{1}{\cos^2 A}} = 2 \sin A \cos A$
OR

Triangle ABC is an isosceles right triangle, right angled at B. Find the value of $\sin^2 A + \cos^2 C$.
Show SolutionHide Solution
(a) $\triangle ABC$ is an isosceles right triangle
$\therefore \angle A = \angle C = 45^\circ$ (1/2 Mark)
$\sin^2 A + \cos^2 C = \sin^2 45^\circ + \cos^2 45^\circ$

If $\sin A + \sin^2 A = 1$, find the value of $\cos^2 A + \cos^4 A$. Also, using the above, prove that $\tan^2 A \cdot \sec^2 A = 1$.
Show SolutionHide Solution
$\sin A + \sin^2 A = 1$
$\implies \sin A = \cos^2 A$ (1/2 Mark)
$\sin^2 A = \cos^4 A$ (On squaring both sides) (1/2 Mark)
$1 - \cos^2 A = \cos^4 A \implies \cos^2 A + \cos^4 A = 1$ (1 Mark)
LHS $= \tan^2 A \cdot \sec^2 A = \frac{\sin^2 A}{\cos^2 A} \times \frac{1}{\cos^2 A} = \frac{\sin^2 A}{\sin^2 A} \times 1 = 1 = \text{RHS}$ ($:: \cos^4 A = \sin^2 A$) (1 Mark)

If $1 + \sin^2 \theta = 3 \sin \theta \cos \theta$, then prove that $\tan \theta = 1$ or $\frac{1}{2}$.
Show SolutionHide Solution
$1 + \sin^2 \theta = 3 \sin \theta \cos \theta$
$\Rightarrow (\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2\theta) + \sin^2 \theta – 3 \sin \theta \cos \theta = 0$
$\Rightarrow 2 \sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta – 3 \sin \theta \cos \theta = 0$
Dividing by $\cos^2 \theta$, we get
$2 \tan^2 \theta - 3 \tan \theta + 1 = 0$
$\Rightarrow (2 \tan \theta – 1)( \tan \theta – 1) = 0$
$\therefore \tan \theta = \frac{1}{2}$ or $1$
