Question 2.
State the signs of:
i. cosec 520°
ii. cot 1899°
iii. sin 986°
Solution:
i. 520° =360° + 160°
∴ 520° and 160° are co-terminal angles.
Since 90° < 160° < 180°,
160° lies in the 2nd quadrant.
∴ 520° lies in the 2nd quadrant,
∴ cosec 520° is positive.
ii. 1899° = 5 x 360° + 99°
∴ 1899° and 99° are co-terminal angles.
Since 90° < 99° < 180°,
99° lies in the 2nd quadrant.
∴ 1899° lies in the 2nd quadrant.
∴ cot 1899° is negative.
iii. 986° = 2x 360° + 266°
∴ 986° and 266° are co-terminal angles.
Since 180° < 266° < 270°,
266° lies in the 3rd quadrant.
∴ 986° lies in the 3rd quadrant.
∴ sin 986° is negative.
Question 3.
State the quadrant in which 6 lies if
i. tan θ < 0 and sec θ > 0
ii. sin θ < 0 and cos θ < 0
iii. sin θ > 0 and tan θ < 0
Solution:
i. tan θ < 0 tan θ is negative in 2nd and 4th quadrants, sec θ > 0
sec θ is positive in 1st and 4th quadrants.
∴ θ lies in the 4th quadrant.
ii. sin θ < 0
sin θ is negative in 3rd and 4th quadrants, cos θ < 0
cos θ is negative in 2nd and 3rd quadrants.
.’. θ lies in the 3rd quadrant.
iii. sin θ > 0
sin θ is positive in 1st and 2nd quadrants, tan θ < 0
tan θ is negative in 2nd and 4th quadrants.
∴ θ lies in the 2nd quadrant.
Question 4.
Which is greater?
sin (1856°) or sin (2006°)
Solution:
1856° = 5 x 360° + 56°
∴ 1856° and 56° are co-terminal angles.
Since 0° < 56° < 90°, 56° lies in the 1st quadrant.
∴ 1856° lies in the 1st quadrant,
∴ sin 1856° >0 …(i)
2006° = 5 x 360° + 206°
∴ 2006° and 206° are co-terminal angles.
Since 180° < 206° < 270°,
206° lies in the 3rd quadrant.
∴ 2006° lies in the 3rd quadrant,
∴ sin 2006° <0 …(ii)
From (i) and (ii),
sin 1856° is greater.
Question 5.
Which of the following is positive?
sin(-310°) or sin(310°)
Solution:
Since 270° <310° <360°,
310° lies in the 4th quadrant.
∴ sin (310°) < 0
-310° = -360°+ 50°
∴ 50° and – 310° are co-terminal angles.
Since 0° < 50° < 90°, 50° lies in the 1st quadrant.
∴ – 310° lies in the 1st quadrant.
∴ sin (- 310°) > 0
∴ sin (- 310°) is positive.
Question 6.
Show that 1 – 2sin θ cos θ ≥ 0 for all θ ∈ R.
Solution:
1 – 2 sin θ cos θ
= si θ + co θ – 2sin θ cos θ

Question 7.
Show that ta θ + co θ ≥ 2 for all θ ∈ R.
Solution:
Question 8.
Question 9.
θ lies in the 4th quadrant.
∴ tan θ < 0
∴ tan θ = -1
Question 10.
Prove the following:
Solution:
Solution:
= 2(1)
= 2 = R.H.S.
∴ (cosec θ – cot θ) (cosec θ + cot θ) = 1
∴ tan θ. tanθ = (sec θ + 1)(sec θ – 1)
∴ cot θ . cot θ = (cosec θ + 1)(cosec θ – 1)
Alternate Method:
∴ cot θ.cot θ = (cosec θ + 1) (cosec θ – 1)
