Prove that \(2cos2A+1\over {2cos2A-1}\) = tan(\(60^{\circ}\) + A)tan(\(60^{\circ}\) – A)

Leave a Comment / Maths Questions, Trigonometry Questions / By

Solution : R.H.S. = tan(\(60^{\circ}\) + A)tan(\(60^{\circ}\) – A) = (\(tan60^{\circ}+tanA\over {1-tan60^{\circ}tanA}\))(\(tan60^{\circ}-tanA\over {1+tan60^{\circ}tanA}\)) = (\(\sqrt{3}+tanA\over {1-\sqrt{3}tanA}\))(\(\sqrt{3}-tanA\over {1+\sqrt{3}tanA}\)) = \(3-tan^2A\over{1-3tan^2A}\) = \(3cos^2A-sin^2A\over {cos^2A-3sin^2A}\) = \(2cos^2A+cos^2A-2sin^2A+sin^2A\over {2cos^2A-2sin^2A-sin^2A-cos^2A}\) = \(2(cos^2A-sin^2A)+cos^2A+sin^2A\over {2(cos^2A-sin^2A)-(sin^2A+cos^2A)}\) = \(2cos2A+1\over {2cos2A-1}\) = L.H.S Similar Questions Evaluate sin78 – sin66 – sin42 + sin6.

Solve : 6 – 10cosx = 3\(sin^2x\)

Leave a Comment / Maths Questions, Trigonometric Equations Questions / By

Solution : we have, 6 – 10cosx = 3\(sin^2x\) \(\therefore\)  6 – 10cosx = 3 – 3\(cos^2x\) \(\implies\)  3\(cos^2x\) – 10cosx + 3 = 0 \(\implies\)  (3cosx-1)(cosx-3) = 0  \(\implies\)  cosx = \(1\over 3\) or cosx = 3 Since cosx = 3 is not possible as -1 \(\le\) cosx \(\le\) 1 \(\therefore\)  cosx = \(1\over …

Leave a Comment / Maths Questions, Statistics Questions / By

Solution : As given \(\bar{x}\) = 4, n = 5 and \({\sigma}^2\) = 5.2. If the remaining observations are \(x_1\), \(x_2\) then \({\sigma}^2\) = \(\sum{(x_i – \bar{x})}^2\over n\) = 5.2 \(\implies\) \({(x_1-4)}^2 + {(x_2-4)}^2 + {(1-4)}^2 + {2-4)}^2 + {(6-4)}^2\over 5\) = 5.2 \(\implies\) \({(x_1-4)}^2 + {(x_2-4)}^2\) = 9  …..(1) Also \(\bar{x}\) = 4 \(\implies\) …
