Question 2.
Show that:
(i) tan 48° tan 23° tan 42° tan 67° = 1
(ii) cos 38° cos 52° – sin 38° sin 52° = 0
Solution:
(i) LHS = tan 48° tan 23° tan 42° tan 67°
= tan 48° tan 23° tan (90° – 48°) tan (90° – 23°)
= tan 48° tan 23° cot 48° cot 23° = tan 48° tan 23° .1tan48∘⋅1tan23∘
= 1 = RHS

(ii) LHS = cos 38° cos 52° – sin 38° sin 52°
= cos 38° cos (90° – 38°) – sin 38° sin (90° – 38°)
= cos 38° sin 38°- sin 38° cos 38° = 0 = RHS

Question 3.

Question 4.
If tan A = cot B, prove that A + B = 90°.
Solution:
tan A = cot B ⇒ tan A = tan (90° – B) [ ∵ tan (90° – θ) = cot θ]
⇒ A = 90° – B ⇒ A + B = 90° Proved

Question 7.
Express sin 61° + cos 75° in terms of trigonometric ratios of angles between 0° and 45°.
Solution:
sin 67° + cos 75° = sin (90° – 23°) + cos (90° – 15°) = cos 23° + sin 15°
