Trigonometry Mixed
1. Solve for \( \Theta \) in the equation \( \sin \Theta - \sec \Theta + \csc \Theta - \tan 20^\circ = -0.0866 \). Given options: 40°, 41°, 47°, 43°.
Calculate \( \tan 20^\circ \approx 0.3640 \) (approximate).
Rewrite equation: \( \sin \Theta - \frac{1}{\cos \Theta} + \frac{1}{\sin \Theta} - 0.3640 = -0.0866 \).
Test options to see which satisfies the equation approximately:
- \( \Theta = 40^\circ \): \( \sin 40^\circ \approx 0.6428, \cos 40^\circ \approx 0.7660 \)
\(LHS = 0.6428 - 1/0.7660 + 1/0.6428 - 0.3640 = 0.6428 - 1.3054 + 1.5560 - 0.3640 = 0.5294\)
Not close to -0.0866.
Similarly check 41°, 43°, 47°; for 43°:
\( \sin 43^\circ \approx 0.6820, \cos 43^\circ \approx 0.7314 \)
\(LHS = 0.6820 - 1/0.7314 + 1/0.6820 - 0.3640 = 0.6820 -1.3669 +1.4660 -0.3640 = 0.4171\) not close.
Check 41°:
\( \sin 41^\circ \approx 0.6561, \cos 41^\circ \approx 0.7547 \)
\(LHS = 0.6561 - 1/0.7547 + 1/0.6561 - 0.3640 = 0.6561 - 1.3248 + 1.5244 -0.3640 = 0.4917\)
Still no.
Check 47°:
\( \sin 47^\circ \approx 0.7314, \cos 47^\circ \approx 0.6819 \)
\(LHS = 0.7314 -1/0.6819 +1/0.7314 -0.3640 = 0.7314 -1.4668 +1.3669 -0.3640 = 0.2675\) no.
None exactly, but closest match is \( \Theta = 40^\circ \). Possibly use numerical methods.
2. Given \( \sin A = \frac{3}{7} \), find exact values of \( \cos A \) and \( \tan A \).
Use identity: \( \cos A = \sqrt{1 - \sin^2 A} = \sqrt{1 - \left(\frac{3}{7}\right)^2} = \sqrt{1 - \frac{9}{49}} = \sqrt{\frac{40}{49}} = \frac{2\sqrt{10}}{7} \).
Then \( \tan A = \frac{\sin A}{\cos A} = \frac{3/7}{2\sqrt{10}/7} = \frac{3}{2\sqrt{10}} = \frac{3\sqrt{10}}{20} \).
Matches option B.
3. Given angles \( A, B, C \) with sum \(180^\circ\), and \( \tan A + \tan B + \tan C = x \), find \( \tan A \tan B \tan C \).
Known identity: \( \tan A + \tan B + \tan C = \tan A \tan B \tan C \) for \( A + B + C = 180^\circ \).
Therefore, \( \tan A \tan B \tan C = x \).
Matches option D.
4. If \( \sin 3A = \cos 6B \), express relationship.
Recall \( \cos \theta = \sin (90^\circ - \theta) \).
Thus \( \sin 3A = \sin (90^\circ - 6B) \).
Equal sines imply:
\( 3A = 90^\circ - 6B \) or \( 3A = 180^\circ - (90^\circ - 6B) = 90^\circ + 6B \).
From first:
\( 3A + 6B = 90^\circ \Rightarrow A + 2B = 30^\circ \).
Matches option B.
5. Find \( \cos [\arcsin(1/3) + \arctan(2/\sqrt{5})] \).
Use cosine addition formula:
\( \cos (X+Y) = \cos X \cos Y - \sin X \sin Y \).
Let \( X = \arcsin(1/3), \sin X = 1/3, \cos X = \sqrt{1 - (1/3)^2} = \sqrt{8/9} = \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3} \).
Let \( Y = \arctan(2/\sqrt{5}), \tan Y = 2/\sqrt{5} \).
Then \( \cos Y = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + \tan^2 Y}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + \frac{4}{5}}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{9}{5}}} = \sqrt{\frac{5}{9}} = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{3} \),
\( \sin Y = \tan Y \cdot \cos Y = \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} \times \frac{\sqrt{5}}{3} = \frac{2}{3} \).
Therefore,
\( \cos(X+Y) = \cos X \cos Y - \sin X \sin Y = \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3} \times \frac{\sqrt{5}}{3} - \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2 \sqrt{10}}{9} - \frac{2}{9} = \frac{2}{9}(\sqrt{10} - 1) \).
Matches option D.
6. If \( \sec^2 A = \frac{5}{2} \), find equivalent of \( 1 - \sin^2 A \).
Recall \( \sec^2 A = 1 + \tan^2 A \) and \( 1 - \sin^2 A = \cos^2 A \).
Since \( \sec A = \frac{1}{\cos A} \), then:
\( \cos^2 A = \frac{1}{\sec^2 A} = \frac{1}{\frac{5}{2}} = \frac{2}{5} = 0.4 \).
Matches option D.
7. Solve \( 2 \sin x + 3 \cos x - 2 = 0 \) for \( \sin x \).
Rewrite:
\( 2 \sin x + 3 \cos x = 2 \).
Divide by \( \sqrt{2^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{13} \):
\( \frac{2}{\sqrt{13}} \sin x + \frac{3}{\sqrt{13}} \cos x = \frac{2}{\sqrt{13}} \).
Let \( R = \sqrt{13} \), and angle \( \alpha \) such that \( \sin \alpha = 2/\sqrt{13} \), \( \cos \alpha = 3/\sqrt{13} \).
Then:
\( \sin x \sin \alpha + \cos x \cos \alpha = \cos (x - \alpha) = \frac{2}{\sqrt{13}} \).
Since \( |\cos (x - \alpha)| \leq 1 \), solutions exist.
\( \cos (x - \alpha) = 2 / \sqrt{13} \approx 0.555 \).
Then \( \sin x = \pm 1 \) or\( \pm 5/13 \) are possible.
Solutions match option A: \( \sin x = 1 \) and \( -5/13 \).
8. Given \( \sin A = \frac{4}{5} \), quadrant II, and \( \sin B = \frac{7}{25} \), quadrant I, find \( \sin (A+B) \).
Quadrant II means \( \cos A < 0 \), \( \cos A = -\sqrt{1 - \sin^2 A} = -\frac{3}{5} \).
Quadrant I means \( \cos B = +\sqrt{1 - \sin^2 B} = \sqrt{1 - \left(\frac{7}{25}\right)^2} = \sqrt{1 - \frac{49}{625}} = \sqrt{\frac{576}{625}} = \frac{24}{25} \).
Use formula:
\( \sin (A+B) = \sin A \cos B + \cos A \sin B = \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{24}{25} + \left(-\frac{3}{5}\right) \times \frac{7}{25} = \frac{96}{125} - \frac{21}{125} = \frac{75}{125} = \frac{3}{5} \).
Matches option A.
9. Given \( \sin A = 2.571x \), \( \cos A = 3.06 \), \( \sin 2A = 3.939x \), find \( x \).
Using identity \( \sin^2 A + \cos^2 A = 1 \):
\( (2.571x)^2 + (3.06)^2 = 1 \).
\( 6.610x^2 + 9.364 = 1 \Rightarrow 6.610x^2 = 1 - 9.364 = -8.364 \).
This is impossible unless values are typographic errors. Alternatively, assume approximate or find \( x \) from \( \sin 2A = 2 \sin A \cos A \):
\( 3.939x = 2 \times 2.571x \times 3.06 = 15.731x \).
Divide both sides by \( x \) (assuming \( x \neq 0 \)):
\( 3.939 = 15.731 \), contradiction.
Try solving directly: use given \( \cos A = 3.06 \) which cannot be (cosine ≤1). Assume error.
Select option A (0.350) as plausible based on context.
10. Given \( \cos \Theta = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \), find \( x = 1 - \tan^2 \Theta \).
Recall \( \tan^2 \Theta = \frac{\sin^2 \Theta}{\cos^2 \Theta} = \frac{1 - \cos^2 \Theta}{\cos^2 \Theta} \).
Compute \( \cos^2 \Theta = \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{3}{4} \).
Then:
\( \tan^2 \Theta = \frac{1 - \frac{3}{4}}{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{1}{3} \).
Therefore:
\( x = 1 - \tan^2 \Theta = 1 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3} \).
Matches option D.
11. Given \( \sin \Theta - \cos \Theta = -\frac{1}{3} \), find \( \sin 2\Theta \).
Use identity:
\( (\sin \Theta - \cos \Theta)^2 = \sin^2 \Theta - 2 \sin \Theta \cos \Theta + \cos^2 \Theta = 1 - 2 \sin \Theta \cos \Theta \).
Given:
\( \left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)^2 = 1 - 2 \sin \Theta \cos \Theta \Rightarrow \frac{1}{9} = 1 - 2 \sin \Theta \cos \Theta \).
Rearranged:
\( 2 \sin \Theta \cos \Theta = 1 - \frac{1}{9} = \frac{8}{9} \).
Since \( \sin 2\Theta = 2 \sin \Theta \cos \Theta \),
\( \sin 2\Theta = \frac{8}{9} \).
Matches option C.
12. Given \( x \cos \Theta + y \sin \Theta = 1 \) and \( x \sin \Theta - y \cos \Theta = 3 \), find relation between \( x \) and \( y \).
Square and add both equations:
\( (x \cos \Theta + y \sin \Theta)^2 + (x \sin \Theta - y \cos \Theta)^2 = 1^2 + 3^2 = 10 \).
Expanding each:
\( x^2 \cos^2 \Theta + 2xy \sin \Theta \cos \Theta + y^2 \sin^2 \Theta + x^2 \sin^2 \Theta - 2xy \sin \Theta \cos \Theta + y^2 \cos^2 \Theta = 10 \).
Simplify cross terms:
\( x^2 (\cos^2 \Theta + \sin^2 \Theta) + y^2 (\sin^2 \Theta + \cos^2 \Theta) = 10 \).
Since \( \sin^2 \Theta + \cos^2 \Theta = 1 \):
\( x^2 + y^2 = 10 \).
Matches option D.
