1. Prove that $\text{si}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}}\text{+co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{3}}\text{-ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{=-}\dfrac{\text{1}}{\text{2}}$

Ans: Substituting the values of  $\text{sin}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}}\text{,cos}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}}\text{,tan}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}$ on left hand side,

$\text{si}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}}\text{+co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{3}}\text{-ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{=}{{\left( \dfrac{\text{1}}{\text{2}} \right)}^{\text{2}}}\text{+}{{\left( \dfrac{\text{1}}{\text{2}} \right)}^{\text{2}}}\text{-}{{\left( \text{1} \right)}^{\text{2}}}$

$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{1}}{\text{4}}\text{+}\dfrac{\text{1}}{\text{4}}\text{-1}$

$=-\dfrac{1}{2}$

$=$ R.H.S.

Hence proved.

2. Prove that $\text{2si}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}}\text{+cose}{{\text{c}}^{\text{2}}}\dfrac{\text{7 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}}\text{co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{3}}\text{=}\dfrac{\text{3}}{\text{2}}$

Ans:

Substituting the values of  $\text{sin}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}}\text{,cosec}\dfrac{\text{7 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}}\text{,cos}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{3}}$ on left hand side,

L.H.S.$\text{=2si}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}}\text{+cose}{{\text{c}}^{\text{2}}}\dfrac{\text{7 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}}\text{co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{3}}$

$\text{=2}{{\left( \dfrac{\text{1}}{\text{2}} \right)}^{\text{2}}}\text{+cose}{{\text{c}}^{\text{2}}}\left( \text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ +}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}} \right){{\left( \dfrac{\text{1}}{\text{2}} \right)}^{\text{2}}}$

$\text{=2 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ }\dfrac{\text{1}}{\text{4}}\text{+}{{\left( \text{-cosec}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}} \right)}^{\text{2}}}\left( \dfrac{\text{1}}{\text{4}} \right)$

$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{1}}{\text{2}}\text{+}{{\left( \text{-2} \right)}^{\text{2}}}\left( \dfrac{\text{1}}{\text{4}} \right)$

Since $\text{cosec x}$ repeat its value after an interval of $\text{2 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }$ , 

we have, $\text{cosec}\dfrac{\text{7 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}}\text{=-cosec}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}}$  

L.H.S  $=\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{4}{4}$

$=\dfrac{3}{2}$ 

$=$ R.H.S.

Hence proved.

3. Prove that $\text{co}{{\text{t}}^{\text{2}}}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}}\text{+cosec}\dfrac{\text{5 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}}\text{+3ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}}\text{=6}$

Ans:

Substituting the values of  $\text{cot}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}}\text{,cosec}\dfrac{\text{5 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}}\text{,tan}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}}$ on left hand side,

L.H.S.$\text{=co}{{\text{t}}^{\text{2}}}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}}\text{+cosec}\dfrac{\text{5 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}}\text{+3ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}}$

$\text{=}{{\left( \sqrt{\text{3}} \right)}^{\text{2}}}\text{+cosec}\left( \text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ -}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}} \right)\text{+3}{{\left( \dfrac{\text{1}}{\sqrt{\text{3}}} \right)}^{\text{2}}}$

$\text{=3+cosec}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}}\text{+3 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ }\dfrac{\text{1}}{\text{3}}$

Since $\text{cosec x}$ repeat its value after an interval of $\text{2 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }$ , 

we have, $\text{cosec}\dfrac{\text{5 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}}\text{=cosec}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{6}}$  

L.H.S $=3+2+1$ 

$=1$ 

$=$ R.H.S.

Hence proved.

4. Prove that $\text{2si}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\dfrac{\text{3 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{+2co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{+2se}{{\text{c}}^{\text{2}}}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{3}}\text{=10}$

Ans:

Substituting the values of  $\text{sin}\dfrac{\text{3 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{,cos}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{,sec}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{3}}$ on left hand side,

L.H.S.$\text{=2si}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\dfrac{\text{3 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{+2co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{+2se}{{\text{c}}^{\text{2}}}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{3}}$

$\text{=2}{{\left\{ \text{sin}\left( \text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ -}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}} \right) \right\}}^{\text{2}}}\text{+2}{{\left( \dfrac{\text{1}}{\sqrt{\text{2}}} \right)}^{\text{2}}}\text{+2}{{\left( \text{2} \right)}^{\text{2}}}$

$\text{=2}{{\left\{ \text{sin}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}} \right\}}^{\text{2}}}\text{+2 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ }\dfrac{\text{1}}{\text{2}}\text{+8}$

Since $\text{sin x}$ repeats its value after an interval of $\text{2 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }$ , 

we have, $\text{sin}\dfrac{\text{3 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{=sin}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}$  

 L.H.S  $=1+1+8$ 

$=10$

$=$ R.H.S.

Hence proved.

5. Find the value of :

(i) Sin 75°

Ans: We have,

Sin 75°= Sin ( 45°+ 30° )

Sin 75°= Sin 45° Cos 30° + Cos 45° Sin 30° 

Since we know that, $\text{sin}\left( \text{x+y} \right)\text{=sin x cos y+cos x sin y}$ 

Therefore we have,

$Sin 75^o = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt 2}\times \dfrac{\sqrt 3}{2}\times+ \dfrac{1}{\sqrt 2}\times\dfrac{1}{2}$

$Sin 75^o = \dfrac{{\sqrt 3}+1}{2\sqrt 2}$

(ii) tan 15°

Ans: We have,

tan 15°= tan ( 45°- 30° )

= $\dfrac{( tan 45°- tan 30° )}{1+( tan 45° tan 30° )}$

Since we know, $\text{tan}\left( \text{x-y} \right)\text{=}\dfrac{\text{tan x-tan y}}{\text{1+tan x tan y}}$

Therefore we have,

$tan 15°=\dfrac{\text{1-}\dfrac{\text{1}}{\sqrt{\text{3}}}}{\text{1+1}\left( \dfrac{\text{1}}{\sqrt{\text{3}}} \right)}$

$\text{=}\dfrac{\dfrac{\sqrt{\text{3}}\text{-1}}{\sqrt{\text{3}}}}{\dfrac{\sqrt{\text{3}}\text{+1}}{\sqrt{\text{3}}}}$

$\text{=}\dfrac{\sqrt{\text{3}}\text{-1}}{\sqrt{\text{3}}\text{+1}}$

$\text{=}\dfrac{{{\left( \sqrt{\text{3}}\text{-1} \right)}^{\text{2}}}}{\left( \sqrt{\text{3}}\text{+1} \right)\left( \sqrt{\text{3}}\text{-1} \right)}$ 

Further computing we have,

$\text{tan1}{{\text{5}}^{\text{o}}}\text{=}\dfrac{\text{3+1-2}\sqrt{\text{3}}}{{{\left( \sqrt{\text{3}} \right)}^{\text{2}}}\text{-}{{\left( \text{1} \right)}^{\text{2}}}}$ 

$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{4-2}\sqrt{\text{3}}}{\text{3-1}}$

$\text{=2-}\sqrt{\text{3}}$

6. Prove that $\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{-x} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{-y} \right)\text{-sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{-x} \right)\text{sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{-y} \right)\text{=sin}\left( \text{x+y} \right)$

Ans: We know that, $\text{cos}\left( \text{x+y} \right)\text{=cos xcos y-sin xsin y}$ 

$\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{-x} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{-y} \right)\text{-sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{-x} \right)\text{sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{-y} \right)\text{=cos}\left[ \dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{-x+}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{-y} \right]$

$\text{=cos}\left[ \dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{2}}\text{-}\left( \text{x+y} \right) \right]$

$\text{=sin}\left( \text{x+y} \right)$ 

L.H.S  $=$ R.H.S.

Hence  proved.

7. Prove that $\dfrac{\text{tan}\left( \dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{+x} \right)}{\text{tan}\left( \dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{-x} \right)}\text{=}{{\left( \dfrac{\text{1+tanx}}{\text{1-tanx}} \right)}^{\text{2}}}$

Ans:

We  know that ,$\text{tan}\left( \text{A+B} \right)\text{=}\dfrac{\text{tan A+tan B}}{\text{1-tan Atan B}}$

and $\text{tan}\left( \text{A-B} \right)\text{=}\dfrac{\text{tan A-tan B}}{\text{1+tan Atan B}}$

L.H.S.$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{tan}\left( \dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{+x} \right)}{\text{tan}\left( \dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{-x} \right)}$

Using the above formula,

$\text{L}\text{.H}\text{.S=}\dfrac{\left( \dfrac{\text{tan}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{+tanx}}{\text{1-tan}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{tanx}} \right)}{\dfrac{\text{tan}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{-tanx}}{\text{1+tan}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{tanx}}}$

$\text{=}\dfrac{\left( \dfrac{\text{1+tan x}}{\text{1-tan x}} \right)}{\left( \dfrac{\text{1-tan x}}{\text{1+tan x}} \right)}$      

Substituting $\text{tan}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{=1}$

$\text{=}{{\left( \dfrac{\text{1+tan x}}{\text{1-tan x}} \right)}^{\text{2}}}$

= R.H.S.

Hence proved.

8.  Prove that  $\dfrac{\text{cos}\left( \text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ +x} \right)\text{cos}\left( \text{-x} \right)}{\text{sin}\left( \text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ -x} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{2}}\text{+x} \right)}\text{=co}{{\text{t}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x}$

Ans: Observe that $\text{cos x}$ repeats the same value after an interval $\text{2 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }$ and $\text{sin x}$ repeat the same value after an interval  $\text{2 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }$.

L.H.S. $\text{=}\dfrac{\text{cos}\left( \text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ +x} \right)\text{cos}\left( \text{-x} \right)}{\text{sin}\left( \text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ -x} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{2}}\text{+x} \right)}$

$\text{=}\dfrac{\left[ \text{-cos x} \right]\left[ \text{cos x} \right]}{\left( \text{sin x} \right)\left( \text{-sin x} \right)}$

$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{-co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x}}{\text{-si}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x}}$

$\text{=co}{{\text{t}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x}$

Hence proved.

9. Prove that,

$\text{Cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{3 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{2}}\text{+x} \right)\text{Cos}\left( \text{2 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ +x} \right)\left[ \text{cot}\left( \dfrac{\text{3 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{2}}\text{-x} \right)\text{+cot}\left( \text{2 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ +x} \right) \right]\text{=1}$

Ans:

We know that $\text{cot x}$  repeats the same value after an interval $2\pi $ .

L.H.S $=Cos\left( \dfrac{3\pi }{2}+x \right)Cos\left( 2\pi +x \right)\left[ cot\left( \dfrac{3\pi }{2}-x \right)+cot\left( 2\pi +x \right) \right]$

$\text{=sin x cos x}\left[ \text{tan x+cot x} \right]$

Substituting $\text{tan x=}\dfrac{\text{sin x}}{\text{cos x}}$ and

$\text{cot x=}\dfrac{\text{cos x}}{\text{sin x}}$ ,

$\text{L}\text{.H}\text{.S=sin xcos x}\left( \dfrac{\text{sin x}}{\text{cos x}}\text{+}\dfrac{\text{cos x}}{\text{sin x}} \right)$

$\text{=}\left( \text{sin x cos x} \right)\left[ \dfrac{\text{si}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x+co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x}}{\text{sin x cos x}} \right]$

$\text{=1}$ 

$\text{=}$ R.H.S.

Hence proved.

10. Prove that $\text{sin}\left( \text{n+1} \right)\text{xsin}\left( \text{n+2} \right)\text{x+cos (n+1)x cos (n+2)x=cos x}$

Ans:

We know that , $\text{cos}\left( \text{x-y} \right)\text{=cosxcosy+sinxsiny}$ 

L.H.S.$\text{=sin}\left( \text{n+1} \right)\text{xsin}\left( \text{n+2} \right)\text{x+cos (n+1)x cos (n+2)x}$

$\text{=cos}\left[ \left( \text{n+1} \right)\text{x-}\left( \text{n+2} \right)\text{x} \right]$ 

$\text{=cos}\left( \text{-x} \right)$ 

$\text{=cosx}$ 

=  R.H.S

11. Prove that $\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{3 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{+x} \right)\text{-cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{3 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{-x} \right)\text{=-}\sqrt{\text{2}}\text{sinx}$

Ans: We  know that , $\text{cos A-cos B=-2sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{A+B}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{.sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{A-B}}{\text{2}} \right)$

$\therefore $ L.H.S.$\text{=cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{3 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{+x} \right)\text{-cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{3 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{-x} \right)$

$\text{=-2sin}\left\{ \dfrac{\left( \dfrac{\text{3 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{+x} \right)\text{+}\left( \dfrac{\text{3 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{-x} \right)}{\text{2}} \right\}\text{.sin}\left\{ \dfrac{\left( \dfrac{\text{3 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{+x} \right)\text{-}\left( \dfrac{\text{3 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{-x} \right)}{\text{2}} \right\}$

$\text{=-2sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{3 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}} \right)\text{sin x}$ 

Since $\text{sin x}$ repeats the same value after an interval $\text{2 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }$ , 

we have, $\text{sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{3 }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}} \right)\text{=sin}\left( \text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ -}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}} \right)$ 

Therefore, $\text{L}\text{.H}\text{.S=-2sin}\dfrac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}{\text{4}}\text{sin x}$ 

$\text{=-2 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ }\dfrac{\text{1}}{\sqrt{\text{2}}}\text{ }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ sinx}$

$\text{=-}\sqrt{\text{2}}\text{sin x}$

= R.H.S

Hence proved.

12. Prove that $\text{si}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{6x-si}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{4x=sin 2x sin 10x}$

Ans: We know that,$\text{sinA+sinB=2sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{A+B}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{A-B}}{\text{2}} \right)$

And $\text{sin A-sin B=2cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{A+B}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{A-B}}{\text{2}} \right)$

$\therefore$ L.H.S $\text{=si}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{6x-si}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{4xa}$

$\text{=}\left( \text{sin 6x+sin 4x} \right)\left( \text{sin 6x-sin 4x} \right)$

$\text{=}\left[ \text{2sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{6x+4x}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{6x-4x}}{\text{2}} \right) \right]\left[ \text{2cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{6x+4x}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{.sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{6x-4x}}{\text{2}} \right) \right]$

$\text{=}\left( \text{2sin 5x cos x} \right)\left( \text{2cos 5x sin x} \right)$

Now we know that, $\text{sin 2x=2sin x cos x}$ ,

Therefore we have,

$\text{L}\text{.H}\text{.S=}\left( \text{2sin 5x cos 5x} \right)\left( \text{2sin x cos x} \right)$ 

$\text{=sin 10x sin 2x}$

= R.H.S.

13. Prove that $\text{co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{2x-co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{6x=sin 4x sin 8x}$

Ans: We  know that,

$\text{cos A+cos B=2cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{A+B}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{A-B}}{\text{2}} \right)$

And $\text{cos A-cos B=-2sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{A+B}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{A-B}}{\text{2}} \right)$

 L.H.S.$\text{=co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{2x-co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{6x}$

$\text{=}\left( \text{cos 2x+cos 6x} \right)\left( \text{cos 2x-6x} \right)$

$\text{=}\left[ \text{2cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{2x+6x}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{2x-6x}}{\text{2}} \right) \right]\left[ \text{-2sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{2x+6x}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{2x-6x}}{\text{2}} \right) \right]$

Further computing, we have,

$\text{L}\text{.H}\text{.S=}\left[ \text{2cos 4x cos}\left( \text{-2x} \right) \right]\left[ \text{-2sin 4xsin}\left( \text{-2x} \right) \right]$

$\text{=}\left[ \text{2cos  4x cos 2x} \right]\left[ \text{-2sin 4x}\left( \text{-sin 2x} \right) \right]$

$\text{=}\left( \text{2sin 4x cos 4x} \right)\left( \text{2sin 2xcos 2x} \right)$

Now we know that, $\text{sin 2x=2sin x cos x}$ 

Therefore we have,                

$\text{L}\text{.H}\text{.S=sin 8x sin 4x}$

=  R.H.S

Hence proved.

14. Prove that $\text{sin 2x+2sin 4x+sin6=4co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{xsin 4x}$

Ans: We know that, $\text{sin A+sin B=2sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{A+B}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{A-B}}{\text{2}} \right)$

L.H.S $\text{=sin 2x+2sin 4x+sin 6x}$

$\text{=}\left[ \text{sin 2x+sin 6x} \right]\text{+2sin 4x}$

$\text{=}\left[ \text{2sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{2x+6x}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{2x-6x}}{\text{2}} \right) \right]\text{+2sin4x}$

$\text{=2sin 4xcos}\left( \text{-2x} \right)\text{+2sin 4x}$

Further computing,

We have, $\text{L}\text{.H}\text{.S=2sin 4x cos 2x+2sin 4x}$ 

$\text{=2sin 4x}\left( \text{cos 2x+1} \right)$ 

Now we know that, $\text{cos 2x+1=2co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x}$ 

Therefore we have,

$\text{L}\text{.H}\text{.S=2sin 4x}\left( \text{2co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x} \right)$ 

$\text{=4co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{xsin 4x}$

= R.H.S.

Hence proved.

15. Prove that $\text{cot 4x}\left( \text{sin 5x+sin 3x} \right)\text{=cot x}\left( \text{sin 5x-sin 3x} \right)$

Ans: We know that, $\text{sin A+sin B=2sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{A+B}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{A-B}}{\text{2}} \right)$

L.H.S.$\text{=cot 4x}\left( \text{sin 5x+sin 3x} \right)$

$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{cot 4x}}{\text{sin 4x}}\left[ \text{2sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{5x+3x}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{5x+3x}}{\text{2}} \right) \right]$

$\text{=}\left( \dfrac{\text{cos 4x}}{\text{sin 4x}} \right)\left[ \text{2sin 4x cos x} \right]$

$\text{=2cos 4x cos x}$

Now also ,we know that, $\text{sin A-sin B=2cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{A+B}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{A-B}}{\text{2}} \right)$

 R.H.S $\text{=cot x}\left( \text{sin 5x-sin 3x} \right)$

$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{cos x}}{\text{sin x}}\left[ \text{2cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{5x+3x}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{5x-3x}}{\text{2}} \right) \right]$

$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{cos x}}{\text{sin x}}\left[ \text{2cos 4x sin x} \right]$

$\text{=2cos 4x cos x}$

Therefore , we can conclude that,

L.H.S = R.H.S

Hence proved.

16. Prove that $\dfrac{\text{cos 9x-cos 5x}}{\text{sin 17x-sin 3x}}\text{=-}\dfrac{\text{sin 2x}}{\text{cos 10x}}$

Ans: We know that,

$\text{cos A-cos B=-2sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{A+B}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{A-B}}{\text{2}} \right)$

And  $\text{sin A-sin B=2cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{A+B}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{A-B}}{\text{2}} \right)$

 L.H.S $\text{=}\dfrac{\text{cos 9x-cos 5x}}{\text{sin 17x-sin 3x}}$

$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{-2sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{9x+5x}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{.sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{9x-5x}}{\text{2}} \right)}{\text{2cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{17x+3x}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{.sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{17x-3x}}{\text{2}} \right)}$                    

(Following the formula)

$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{-2sin 7x}\text{.sin 2x}}{\text{2cos 10x}\text{.sin 7x}}$

$\text{=-}\dfrac{\text{sin 2x}}{\text{cos 10x}}$ 

R.H.S.

Hence proved.

17. Prove that:$\dfrac{\text{sin 5x+sin 3x}}{\text{cos 5x+cos 3x}}\text{=tan 4x}$

Ans: We know that

$\text{sin A+sin B=2sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{A+B}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{A-B}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{,}$

$\text{cos A+cos B=2cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{A+B}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{A-B}}{\text{2}} \right)$

Now , L.H.S.$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{sin 5x+sin 3x}}{\text{cos 5x+cos 3x}}$

$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{2sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{5x+3x}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{5x-3x}}{\text{2}} \right)}{\text{2cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{5x+3x}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{5x-3x}}{\text{2}} \right)}$                  

(Using the formula)

$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{2sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{5x+3x}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{5x-3x}}{\text{2}} \right)}{\text{2cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{5x+3x}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{5x-3x}}{\text{2}} \right)}$

$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{2sin 4x cos x}}{\text{2cos 4x cos x}}$

Further computing we have,

$\text{L}\text{.H}\text{.S=tan 4x}$ 

= R.H.S.

18. Prove that $\dfrac{\text{sin x-sin y}}{\text{cos x+cos y}}\text{=tan}\dfrac{\text{x-y}}{\text{2}}$

Ans: We  know that,

$\text{sin A-sin B=2cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{A+B}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{A-B}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{,}$

$\text{cos A+cos B=2cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{A+B}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{A-B}}{\text{2}} \right)$

L.H.S.$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{sin x-sin y}}{\text{cosx+cosy}}$

$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{2cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{x+y}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{.sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{x-y}}{\text{2}} \right)}{\text{2cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{x+y}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{.cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{x-y}}{\text{2}} \right)}$

$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{x-y}}{\text{2}} \right)}{\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{x-y}}{\text{2}} \right)}$

$\text{=tan}\left( \dfrac{\text{x-y}}{\text{2}} \right)$

$\text{cos A+cos B=2cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{A+B}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{A-B}}{\text{2}} \right)$

Now , L.H.S $\text{=}\dfrac{\text{sinx+sin3x}}{\text{cos x+cos 3x}}$

$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{2sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{x+3x}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{x-3x}}{\text{2}} \right)}{\text{2cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{x+3x}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{x-3x}}{\text{2}} \right)}$

And $\text{co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{A-si}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{A=cos 2A}$

 L.H.S $\text{=}\dfrac{\text{sin x-sin 3x}}{\text{si}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x-co}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x}}$

$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{2cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{x+3x}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{x-3x}}{\text{2}} \right)}{\text{-cos2x}}$

$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{2cos2xsin}\left( \text{-x} \right)}{\text{-cos 2x}}$

$\text{=-2 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ }\left( \text{-sinx} \right)$

Therefore , we have,

$\text{=}\dfrac{\left( \text{cos 4x+cos 2x} \right)\text{+cos 3x}}{\left( \text{sin4x+sin2x} \right)\text{+sin 3x}}$

$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{2cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{4x+2x}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{4x-2x}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{+cos3x}}{\text{2sin}\left( \dfrac{\text{4x+2x}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{cos}\left( \dfrac{\text{4x-2x}}{\text{2}} \right)\text{+sin 3x}}$   

(Using the Formulas)

$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{2cos 3x cos x+cos 3x}}{\text{2sin 3x cos x+sin 3x}}$

Further computing, we obtain,

L.H.S $\text{=}\dfrac{\text{cos 3x}\left( \text{2cos x+1} \right)}{\text{sin 3x}\left( \text{2cos x+1} \right)}$ 

$\text{=cot 3x}$

$\text{=cot x cot 2x-cot 3x}\left( \text{cot 2x+cot x} \right)$

$\text{=cot x cot 2x-cot}\left( \text{2x+x} \right)\left( \text{cot 2x+cot x} \right)$

$\text{=cot x cot 2x-}\left[ \dfrac{\text{cot 2x cot x-1}}{\text{cot x+cot 2x}} \right]\left( \text{cot 2x+cot x} \right)$

Further computing we obtain,

$\text{L}\text{.H}\text{.S=cot x cot 2x-}\left( \text{cot 2x cot x-1} \right)$ 

$\text{=1}$

= R.H.S.

Hence proved.

$\text{=tan2}\left( \text{2x} \right)$

$\text{=}\dfrac{\text{2tan 2x}}{\text{1-ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\left( \text{2x} \right)}$

(Using the formula)

$\text{=}\dfrac{\left( \dfrac{\text{4tan x}}{\text{1-ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x}} \right)}{\left[ \text{1-}\dfrac{\text{4ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x}}{{{\left( \text{1-ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x} \right)}^{\text{2}}}} \right]}$

Further  computing, we obtain,

L.H.S $\text{=}\dfrac{\left( \dfrac{\text{4tan x}}{\text{1-ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x}} \right)}{\left[ \dfrac{{{\left( \text{1-ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x} \right)}^{\text{2}}}\text{4ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x}}{{{\left( \text{1-ta}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{x} \right)}^{\text{2}}}} \right]}$$$$$

And $\text{sin 2x=2sin x cos x}$ 

L.H.S.$\text{=cos 4x}$

$\text{=cos 2}\left( \text{2x} \right)$

$\text{=1-2si}{{\text{n}}^{\text{2}}}\text{2x}$

$\text{=1-2}{{\left( \text{2sin x cos x} \right)}^{\text{2}}}$

Further computing we get,
