Since , tan θ + tan 2θ + tan 3θ = tan θ ∙ tan 2θ ∙ tan 3θ,
we get, tan (θ + 2θ + 3θ) = θ

II: Solve the following
Question 1.
Find the principal solutions of the following equations :
(i) sin2θ = \(-\frac{1}{2}\)
Solution:
sin2θ = \(-\frac{1}{2}\)
Since, θ ∈ (0, 2π), 2∈ ∈ (0, 4π)

(ii) tan3θ = -1
Solution:
Since, θ ∈ (0, 2π), 3∈ ∈ (0, 6π)

… [∵ tan(π – θ) = tan(2π – θ) = tan(3π – θ)
= tan (4π – θ) = tan (5π – θ) = tan (6π – θ) = -tan θ]
∴ tan3θ = tan\(\frac{3 \pi}{4}\) = tan\(\frac{7 \pi}{4}\) = tan\(\frac{11 \pi}{4}\) = tan\(\frac{15 \pi}{4}\)

(iii) cotθ = 0
Solution:
cotθ = 0
Since θ ∈ (0, 2π),
cotθ = 0 = cot \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) = cot (π + \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) …[∵ cos(π + θ) = cotθ]
∴ cotθ = cot\(\frac{\pi}{2}\) = cot\(\frac{3 \pi}{2}\)
∴ θ = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) or θ = \(\frac{3 \pi}{2}\)
Hence, the required principal solutions are \(\left\{\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3 \pi}{2}\right\}\)

Question 2.
Find the principal solutions of the following equations :
(i) sin2θ = \(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
Solution:

(ii) tan5θ = -1
Solution:

(iii) cot2θ = 0
Solution:

Question 3.
Which of the following equations have no solutions ?
(i) cos 2θ = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
Solution:
cos 2θ = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
Since \(\frac{1}{3}\) ≤ cosθ ≤ 1 for any θ
cos2θ = \(\frac{1}{3}\) has solution

(ii) cos² θ = -1
Solution:
cos2θ = -1
This is not possible because cos2θ ≥ 0 for any θ.
∴ cos2θ = -1 does not have any solution.

(iii) 2 sinθ = 3
Solution:
2 sin θ = 3 ∴ sin θ = \(\frac{3}{2}\)
This is not possible because -1 ≤ sin θ ≤ 1 for any θ.
∴ 2 sin θ = 3 does not have any solution.

(iv) 3 sin θ = 5
Solution:
3 sin θ = 5
∴ sin θ = \(\frac{5}{3}\)
This is not possible because -1 ≤ sin θ ≤ 1 for any θ.
∴ 3 sin θ = 5 does not have any solution.

Question 4.
Find the general solutions of the following equations :
(i) tanθ = \(-\sqrt {x}\)
Solution:
The general solution of tan θ = tan ∝ is
θ = nπ + ∝, n ∈ Z.
Now, tanθ = \(-\sqrt {x}\)
∴ tanθ = tan\(\frac{\pi}{3}\) …[∵ tan\(\frac{\pi}{3}\) = \(\sqrt {3}\)]
∴ tanθ = tan\(\left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{3}\right)\) …[∵ tan(π – θ) = -tanθ]
∴ tanθ = tan\(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\)
∴ the required general solution is
θ = nπ + \(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\), n ∈ Z.

(ii) tan²θ = 3
Solution:
The general solution of tan²θ = tan²∝ is
θ = nπ ± ∝, n ∈ Z.
Now, tan²θ = 3 = (\(\sqrt {x}\))²
∴ tan²θ = (tan\(\frac{\pi}{3}\))² …[∵ tan\(\frac{\pi}{3}\) = \(\sqrt {3}\)]
∴ tan²θ = tan²\(\frac{\pi}{3}\)
∴ the required general solution is
θ = nπ ± \(\frac{\pi}{3}\), n ∈ Z.

(iii) sin θ – cosθ = 1
Solution:
∴ cosθ – sin θ = -1

(iv) sin²θ – cos²θ = 1
Solution:
sin²θ – cos²θ = 1
∴ cos²θ – sin²θ = -1
∴ cos2θ = cosπ …(1)
The general solution of cos θ = cos ∝ is
θ = 2nπ ± ∝, n ∈ Z
∴ the general solution of (1) is given by
2θ = 2nπ ± π, n ∈ Z
∴ θ = nπ ± \(\frac{\pi}{2}\), n ∈ Z

Question 5.
In ∆ABC prove that cos \(\left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{a+b}{c}\right)\) sin \(\frac{C}{2}\)
Solution:
By the sine rule,

Question 6.
With usual notations prove that \(\frac{\sin (A-B)}{\sin (A+B)}=\frac{a^{2}-b^{2}}{c^{2}}\).
Solution:
By the sine rule,
\(\frac{a}{\sin \mathrm{A}}\) = \(\frac{b}{\sin \mathrm{B}}\) = \(\frac{c}{\sin \mathrm{C}}\) = k
∴ a = ksinA, b = ksinB, c = ksinC

Question 7.
In ∆ABC prove that (a – b)² 2cos²\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) + (a + b)² sin²\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) = c².
Solution:
LHS (a – b)² 2cos²\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) + (a + b)² sin²\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\)
= (a² + b² – 2ab) cos²\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) + (a² + b² + 2ab) sin\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\)²
= (a² + b²) cos²\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) – 2ab cos²\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) + (a² + b²) sin²\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) + 2ab sin²\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\)
= (a² + b²) (cos²\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) + sin²\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\)) – 2ab(cos²\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) – sin²\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\))
= a² + b² – 2ab cos C
= c² = RHS.

Question 8.
In ∆ABC if cosA = sin B – cos C then show that it is a right angled triangle.
Solution:
cos A= sin B – cos C
∴ cos A + cos C = sin B

∴ A – C = B
∴ A = B + C
∴ A + B + C = 180° gives
A + A = 180°
∴ 2A = 180 ∴ A = 90°
∴ ∆ ABC is a rightangled triangle.

Question 9.
If \(\frac{\sin A}{\sin C}=\frac{\sin (A-B)}{\sin (B-C)}\) then show that a², b², c², are in A.P.
Solution:
By sine rule,
\(\frac{\sin \mathrm{A}}{a}\) = \(\frac{\sin \mathrm{B}}{b}\) = \(\frac{\sin \mathrm{C}}{c}\) = k
∴ sin A = ka, sin B = kb,sin C = kc
Now, \(\frac{\sin A}{\sin C}=\frac{\sin (A-B)}{\sin (B-C)}\)
∴ sinA∙sin(B – C) = sinC∙sin(A -B)
∴ sin [π – (B + C)] ∙ sin (B – C)
= sin [π – (A + B)]∙sin (A – B) … [∵ A + B + C = π]
∴ sin(B + C) ∙ sin(B – C) = sin (A + B) ∙ sin (A – B)
∴ sin²B – sin²C = sin²A – sin²B
∴ 2 sin²B = sin²A + sin²C
∴ 2k²b² = k²a² + k²c²
∴ 2b² = a² + c²
Hence, a², b², c² are in A.P.

Question 10.
Solve the triangle in which a = (\(\sqrt {3}\) + 1), b = (\(\sqrt {3}\) – 1) and ∠C = 60°.
Solution:
Given : a = \(\sqrt {3}\) + 1, b = \(\sqrt {3}\) – 1 and ∠C = 60°.
By cosine rule,
c² = a² + b² – 2ab cos C
= (\(\sqrt {3}\) + 1)² + (\(\sqrt {3}\) – 1)² – 2(\(\sqrt {3}\) + 1)(\(\sqrt {3}\) – 1)cos60°
= 3 + 1 + 2\(\sqrt {3}\) + 3+ 1 – 2\(\sqrt {3}\) – 2(3 – 1)\(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\)
= 8 – 2 = 6
∴ c = \(\sqrt {6}\) …[∵ c > 0)
By sine rule,

∴ sin A = sin 60° cos 45° + cos 60° sin 45°
and sin B = sin 60° cos 45° – cos 60° sin 45°
∴ sin A = sin (60° + 45°) – sin 105°
and sin B = sin (60° – 45°) = sin 15°
∴ A = 105° and B = 15°
Hence, A = 105°, B 15° and C = \(\sqrt {6}\) units.

Question 11.
In ∆ABC prove the following :
(i) a sin A – b sin B = c sin (A – B)
Solution:
By sine rule,
\(\frac{a}{\sin \mathrm{A}}\) = \(\frac{b}{\sin \mathrm{B}}\) = \(\frac{c}{\sin \mathrm{C}}\) = k
∴ a = ksinA, b = ksinB, c = ksinC,
LHS = a sin A – b sinB
= ksinA∙sinA – ksinB∙sinB
= k (sin²A – sin²B)
= k (sin A + sin B)(sin A – sin B)

= k × sin (A + B) × sin (A – B)
= ksin(π – C)∙sin(A – B) … [∵ A + B + C = π]
= k sinC∙sin (A – B)
= c sin (A – B) = RHS.

(ii) \(\frac{c-b \cos A}{b-c \cos A}=\frac{\cos B}{\cos C}\).
Solution:

(iii) a² sin (B – C) = (b² – c²) sinA
Solution:
By sine rule,
\(\frac{a}{\sin \mathrm{A}}\) = \(\frac{b}{\sin \mathrm{B}}\) = \(\frac{c}{\sin \mathrm{C}}\) = k
∴ a = ksinA, b = ksinB, c = ksinC
RHS = (b² – c²) sin A
= (k²sin²B – k²sin²C)sin A
= k²(sin²B – sin²C) sin A
= k²(sin B + sin C)(sin B – sin C) sin A

= k² × sin (B + C) × sin (B – C) × sin A
= k²∙sin(π – A)∙sin(B – C)∙sinA … [∵ A + B + C = π]
= k²sin A∙sin (B – C)∙sin A
= (k sin A)²∙sin (B – C)
= a²sin (B – C) = LHS.

(iv) ac cos B – bc cos A = (a² – b²).
Solution:
LHS = ac cos B – bc cos A
= ac\(\left(\frac{c^{2}+a^{2}-b^{2}}{2 c a}\right)\) – bc\(\left(\frac{b^{2}+c^{2}-a^{2}}{2 b c}\right)\)
=\(\frac{1}{2}\)(c² + a² – b²) – \(\frac{1}{2}\)(b² + c² – a²)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\)(c² + a² – b² – b² – c² + a²)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\)(2a² – 2b²) = a² – b2 = RHS.

(v) \(\frac{\cos A}{a}+\frac{\cos B}{b}+\frac{\cos C}{c}=\frac{a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}}{2 a b c}\) .
Solution:

(vi) \(\frac{\cos 2 \mathrm{~A}}{a^{2}}-\frac{\cos 2 \mathrm{~B}}{b^{2}}=\frac{1}{a^{2}}-\frac{1}{b^{2}}\).
Solution:
By sine rule,
\(\frac{\sin \mathrm{A}}{a}=\frac{\sin \mathrm{B}}{b}\)

(vii) \(\frac{b-c}{a}=\frac{\tan \frac{B}{2}-\tan \frac{C}{2}}{\tan \frac{B}{2}+\tan \frac{C}{2}}\)
Solution:
By sine rule,

Question 12.

Solution:
a, b, c, are in A.P.
∴ 2b = a + c …(1)

Question 13.
In ∆ABC if ∠C = 90º then prove that sin(A – B) = \(\frac{a^{2}-b^{2}}{a^{2}+b^{2}}\)
Solution:
In ∆ABC, if ∠C = 90º
∴ c² = a² + b² …(1)
By sine rule,

Question 14.
In ∆ABC if \(\frac{\cos A}{a}=\frac{\cos B}{b}\), then show that it is an isosceles triangle.
Solution:
Given : \(\frac{\cos A}{a}=\frac{\cos B}{b}\) ….(1)
By sine rule,

∴ sin A cos B = cos A sinB
∴ sinA cosB – cosA sinB = 0
∴ sin (A – B) = 0 = sin0
∴ A – B = 0 ∴ A = B
∴ the triangle is an isosceles triangle.

Question 15.
In ∆ABC if sin²A + sin²B = sin²C then prove that the triangle is a right angled triangle.
Question is modified
In ∆ABC if sin²A + sin²B = sin²C then show that the triangle is a right angled triangle.
Solution:
By sine rule,
\(\frac{\sin \mathrm{A}}{a}\) = \(\frac{\sin \mathrm{B}}{b}\) = \(\frac{\sin \mathrm{C}}{c}\) = k
∴ sin A = ka, sinB = kb, sin C = kc
∴ sin²A + sin²B = sin²C
∴ k²a² + k²b² = k²c²
∴ a² + b² = c²
∴ ∆ABC is a rightangled triangle, rightangled at C.

Question 16.
In ∆ABC prove that a²(cos²B – cos²C) + b²(cos²C – cos²A) + c²(cos²A – cos²B) = 0.
Solution:
By sine rule,
\(\frac{a}{\sin \mathrm{A}}\) = \(\frac{b}{\sin \mathrm{B}}\) = \(\frac{c}{\sin \mathrm{C}}\) = k
LHS = a²(cos²B – cos²C) + b²( cos²C – cos²A) + c²(cos²A – cos²B)
= k²sin²A [(1 – sin²B) – (1 – sin²C)] + k²sin²B [(1 – sin²C) – (1 – sin²A)] + k²sin²C[(1 – sin²A) – (1 – sin²B)]
= k²sin²A (sin²C – sin²B) + k²sin²B(sin²A – sin²C) + k²sin²C (sin²B – sin²A)
= k²(sin²A sin²C – sin²Asin²B + sin²A sin²B – sin²B sin²C + sin²B sin²C – sin²A sin²C)
= k²(0) = 0 = RHS.

Question 17.
With usual notations show that (c² – a² + b²) tan A = (a² – b² + c²) tan B = (b² – c² + a²) tan C.
Solution:
By sine rule,
\(\frac{a}{\sin A}\) = \(\frac{b}{\sin B}\) = \(\frac{c}{\sin C}\) = k
∴ a = fksinA, b = ksinB, c = ksinC


From (1), (2) and (3), we get
(c² – a² + b²) tan A = (a² – b² + c²) tan B
= (b² – c² + a²) tan C.

Question 18.
In ∆ABC, if a cos²\(\frac{C}{2}\) + c cos²\(\frac{A}{2}\) = \(\frac{3 b}{2}\), then prove that a , b ,c are in A.P.
Solution:
a cos²\(\frac{C}{2}\) + c cos²\(\frac{A}{2}\) = \(\frac{3 b}{2}\)

∴ a + c + b = 3b …[∵ a cos C + c cos A = b]
∴ a + c = 2b
Hence, a, b, c are in A.P.

∴ tan^-1\(\left(\frac{2 x+3 x}{1-2 x \times 3 x}\right)\) = tan\(\frac{\pi}{4}\), where 2x > 0, 3x > 0
∴ \(\frac{5 x}{1-6 x^{2}}\) = tan\(\frac{\pi}{4}\) = 1
∴ 5x = 1 – 6x²
∴ 6x² + 5x – 1 = 0
∴ 6x² + 6x – x – 1 = 0
∴ 6x(x +1) – 1(x + 1) = 0
∴ (x + 1)(6x – 1) = 0
∴ x = -1 or x = \(\frac{1}{6}\)
But x > 0 ∴ x ≠ -1
Hence, x = \(\frac{1}{6}\)

Question is modified
If |x| < 1 , then prove that 2tan^-1 x = tan^-1\(\left(\frac{2 x}{1-x^{2}}\right)\) = sin^-1\(\left(\frac{2 x}{1+x^{2}}\right)\) = cos^-1\(\left(\frac{1-x^{2}}{1+x^{2}}\right)\)

Question 37.
If x, y, z, are positive then prove that tan^-1\(\frac{x-y}{1+x y}\) + tan^-1\(\frac{y-z}{1+y z}\) + tan^-1\(\frac{z-x}{1+z x}\) = 0
Solution:

Question 38.
If tan^-1 x + tan^-1 y + tan^-1 z = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) then, show that xy + yz + zx = 1
Solution:
tan^-1 x + tan^-1 y + tan^-1 z = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)

∴ 1 – xy – yz – zx = 0
∴ xy + yz + zx = 1.

Question 39.
If cos^-1 x + cos^-1 y + cos^-1 z = π then show that x² + y² + z² + 2xyz = 1.
Solution:
0 ≤ cos^-1x ≤ π and
cos^-1x + cos^-1y+ cos^-1z = 3π
∴ cos^-1x = π, cos^-1y = π and cos^-1z = π
∴ x = y = z = cosπ = -1
∴ x² + y² + z² + 2xyz
= (-1)² + (-1)² + (-1)² + 2(-1)(-1)(-1)
= 1 + 1 + 1 – 2
= 3 – 2 = 1.
