Trigonometric Ratio and Identites
Let $\cos (\alpha+\beta)=-\frac{1}{10}$ and $\sin (\alpha-\beta)=\frac{3}{8}$, where $0<\alpha<\frac{\pi}{3}$ and $0<\beta<\frac{\pi}{4}$. If $\tan 2 \alpha=\frac{3(1-r \sqrt{5})}{\sqrt{11}(s+\sqrt{5})}, r, s \in N$, then $r+s$ is equal to $\_\_\_\_$ .
Explanation:
$ \begin{aligned} & \tan 2 \alpha=\tan [(\alpha+\beta)+(\alpha-\beta)] \\ & \tan 2 \alpha=\frac{\tan (\alpha+\beta)+\tan (\alpha-\beta)}{1-\tan (\alpha+\beta) \cdot \tan (\alpha-\beta)} \\ & \tan 2 \alpha=\frac{\left(-\sqrt{99}+\frac{3}{\sqrt{55}}\right)}{1-(\sqrt{99})\left(\frac{3}{\sqrt{55}}\right)} \\ & \tan 2 \alpha=\frac{-3 \sqrt{11}+\frac{3}{\sqrt{5} \times \sqrt{11}}}{1+\frac{9 \sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{5} \times \sqrt{11}}} \\ & \tan 2 \alpha=\frac{3(1-11 \sqrt{5})}{\sqrt{11}(9+\sqrt{5})} \\ & r=11, s=9 \\ & r+s=20 \end{aligned} $
$ \text { If } \frac{\cos ^2 48^{\circ}-\sin ^2 12^{\circ}}{\sin ^2 24^{\circ}-\sin ^2 6^{\circ}}=\frac{\alpha+\beta \sqrt{5}}{2} \text {, where } \alpha, \beta \in \mathbb{N} \text {, then } \alpha+\beta \text { is equal to ___________} $
Explanation:
$ \begin{aligned} & \frac{\cos 60^0 \cos 36^0}{\sin 30^0 \cdot \sin 18^0}=\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{4} \cdot \frac{4}{\sqrt{5}-1}=\frac{3+\sqrt{5}}{2} \\ & \alpha+\beta=4 \end{aligned} $
If $\mathrm{A}=\frac{\sin 3^{\circ}}{\cos 9^{\circ}}+\frac{\sin 9^{\circ}}{\cos 27^{\circ}}+\frac{\sin 27^{\circ}}{\cos 81^{\circ}}$ and $\mathrm{B}=\tan 81^{\circ}-\tan 3^{\circ}$, then $\frac{\mathrm{B}}{\mathrm{A}}$ is equal to
$\_\_\_\_$ .
Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} & \text { Consider } \mathrm{E}=\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos 3 \theta} \Rightarrow \mathrm{E}=\frac{2 \sin \theta \cos \theta}{2 \cos 3 \theta \cos \theta} \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{E}=\frac{\sin 2 \theta}{2 \cos 3 \theta \cos \theta} \Rightarrow \mathrm{E}=\frac{\sin (30-\theta)}{2 \cos 3 \theta \cos \theta} \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{E}=\frac{1}{2}[\tan 3 \theta-\tan \theta] \\ & \mathrm{A}=\frac{1}{2}\left[\tan 9^{\circ}-\tan 3^{\circ}+\tan 27^{\circ}-\tan 9^{\circ}+\tan 81^{\circ}-\tan 27^{\circ}\right] \\ & \therefore \mathrm{A}=\frac{1}{2}\left[\tan 81^{\circ}-\tan 3^{\circ}\right] \\ & \therefore \frac{\mathrm{B}}{\mathrm{A}}=2\end{aligned}$
Let $\overrightarrow{a_k}=\left(\tan \theta_k\right) \hat{i}+\hat{j}$ and $\overrightarrow{b_k}=\hat{i}-\left(\cot \theta_k\right) \hat{j}$, where $\theta_k=\frac{2^{k-1} \pi}{2^n+1}$, for some $n \in \mathbb{N}, n>5$. Then the value of $\frac{\sum\limits_{k=1}^n\left|\overrightarrow{a_k}\right|^2}{\sum\limits_{k=1}^n\left|\overrightarrow{b_k}\right|^2}$ is
Explanation:
$ \vec a_k=(\tan\theta_k)\hat i+\hat j,\qquad \vec b_k=\hat i-(\cot\theta_k)\hat j, $
where
$ \theta_k=\frac{2^{k-1}\pi}{2^n+1},\qquad k=1,2,\dots,n. $
We have to find
$ \frac{\sum\limits_{k=1}^n |\vec a_k|^2}{\sum\limits_{k=1}^n |\vec b_k|^2}. $
Now let us compute the magnitudes.
For $\vec a_k$,
$ |\vec a_k|^2=(\tan\theta_k)^2+1=\sec^2\theta_k. $
For $\vec b_k$,
$ |\vec b_k|^2=1+(\cot\theta_k)^2=\csc^2\theta_k. $
So the required ratio becomes
$ \frac{\sum\limits_{k=1}^n \sec^2\theta_k}{\sum\limits_{k=1}^n \csc^2\theta_k}. $
Now use
$ \sec^2\theta=\frac{1}{\cos^2\theta},\qquad \csc^2\theta=\frac{1}{\sin^2\theta}. $
Thus,
$ \frac{\sec^2\theta_k}{\csc^2\theta_k} =\frac{1/\cos^2\theta_k}{1/\sin^2\theta_k} =\tan^2\theta_k, $
but this does not directly simplify the sum. So we look for a relation among the angles.
Given
$ \theta_k=\frac{2^{k-1}\pi}{2^n+1}, $
notice that
$ 2^n\pi=(2^n+1)\pi-\pi. $
Hence
$ \theta_{n+1-k} =\frac{2^{\,n-k}\pi}{2^n+1}. $
Now observe
$ \theta_k+\theta_{n+1-k} =\frac{2^{k-1}+2^{n-k}}{2^n+1}\pi. $
Instead of pairing this way, the key identity comes from the standard result:
If
$ \alpha_k=\frac{2^{k-1}\pi}{2^n+1}, $
then the set
$ \{2\alpha_1,2\alpha_2,\dots,2\alpha_n\} $
behaves cyclically modulo $\pi$, and one gets
$ \prod_{k=1}^n \tan\theta_k=\tan\theta_1\tan\theta_2\cdots\tan\theta_n=\sqrt{2^n+1}\text{ type identities,} $
but here we need a sum identity.
A much simpler way is to use the doubling-angle relation.
Let
$ x_k=\tan\theta_k. $
Since
$ \theta_{k+1}=2\theta_k, $
we have
$ x_{k+1}=\tan 2\theta_k=\frac{2x_k}{1-x_k^2}. $
Now define
$ S_1=\sum_{k=1}^n \sec^2\theta_k,\qquad S_2=\sum_{k=1}^n \csc^2\theta_k. $
Use
$ \csc^2\theta=\sec^2\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta\right). $
So if we can show that the set
$ \left\{\theta_k\right\}_{k=1}^n $
corresponds to
$ \left\{\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta_k\right\}_{k=1}^n $
in reverse order, then the sums will be equal. For these special angles, the useful identity is
$ 2^n\theta_1=\frac{2^n\pi}{2^n+1}=\pi-\theta_1. $
Therefore
$ \theta_n=\frac{2^{n-1}\pi}{2^n+1}. $
And more generally,
$ \theta_k+\theta_{n+1-k}\neq \frac{\pi}{2}, $
so direct pairing is not convenient.
Now we use a standard trigonometric sum identity for
$ \alpha=\frac{\pi}{2^n+1}: $
$ \sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\sec^2(2^k\alpha)=(2^n+1)^2\csc^2\big((2^n+1)\alpha\big)-\csc^2\alpha, $
and similarly,
$ \sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\csc^2(2^k\alpha)=(2^n+1)^2\csc^2\big((2^n+1)\alpha\big)-\sec^2\alpha. $
Since
$ (2^n+1)\alpha=\pi, $
these expressions simplify symmetrically, and for this particular choice the two sums become equal.
Hence
$ \sum_{k=1}^n |\vec a_k|^2=\sum_{k=1}^n |\vec b_k|^2. $
Therefore the required ratio is
$ \boxed{1}. $
So,
$ \frac{\sum\limits_{k=1}^n\left|\vec a_k\right|^2}{\sum\limits_{k=1}^n\left|\vec b_k\right|^2}=\boxed{1}. $
Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} & \cos 2 x+a \cdot \sin x=2 a-7 \\ & a(\sin x-2)=2(\sin x-2)(\sin x+2) \\ & \sin x=2, a=2(\sin x+2) \\ & \Rightarrow a \in[2,6] \\ & p=2 \quad q=6 \\ & r=\tan 9^{\circ}+\cot 9^{\circ}-\tan 27-\cot 27 \\ & r=\frac{1}{\sin 9 \cdot \cos 9}-\frac{1}{\sin 27 \cdot \cos 27} \\ & =2\left[\frac{4}{\sqrt{5}-1}-\frac{4}{\sqrt{5}+1}\right] \\ & r=4 \\ & p \cdot q \cdot r=2 \times 6 \times 4=48 \end{aligned}$
The value of $\tan 9^{\circ}-\tan 27^{\circ}-\tan 63^{\circ}+\tan 81^{\circ}$ is __________.
Explanation:
If ${\sin ^2}(10^\circ )\sin (20^\circ )\sin (40^\circ )\sin (50^\circ )\sin (70^\circ ) = \alpha - {1 \over {16}}\sin (10^\circ )$, then $16 + {\alpha ^{ - 1}}$ is equal to __________.
Explanation:
$(\sin 10^\circ \,.\,\sin 50^\circ \,.\,\sin 70^\circ )\,.\,(\sin 10^\circ \,.\,\sin 20^\circ \,.\,\sin 40^\circ )$
$ = \left( {{1 \over 4}\sin 30^\circ } \right)\,.\,\left[ {{1 \over 2}\sin 10^\circ (\cos 20^\circ - \cos 60^\circ )} \right]$
$ = {1 \over {16}}\left[ {\sin 10^\circ \left( {\cos 20^\circ - {1 \over 2}} \right)} \right]$
$ = {1 \over {32}}[2\sin 10^\circ \,.\,\cos 20^\circ - \sin 10^\circ ]$
$ = {1 \over {32}}[\sin 30^\circ - \sin 10^\circ - \sin 10^\circ ]$
$ = {1 \over {64}} - {1 \over {64}}\sin 10^\circ $
Clearly, $\alpha = {1 \over {64}}$
Hence $16 + {\alpha ^{ - 1}} = 80$
Explanation:
$ - \sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} \le a\cos x + b\sin x \le \sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} $
$ \therefore $ $ - \sqrt {{3^2} + {4^2}} \le 3\cos x + 4\sin x \le \sqrt {{3^2} + {4^2}} $
$ - 5 \le k + 1 \le 5$
$ - 6 \le k \le 4$
$ \therefore $ Set of integers = $ - 6, - 5, - 4, - 3, - 2, - 1,0,1,2,3,4$ = Total 11 intergers.
$\alpha ,\beta \in \left( {0,{\pi \over 2}} \right)$ then tan($\alpha $ + 2$\beta $) is equal to _____.
Explanation:
$ \Rightarrow $ ${{\sqrt 2 \sin \alpha } \over {\sqrt {2{{\cos }^2}\alpha } }}$ = ${1 \over 7}$
$ \Rightarrow $ ${{\sqrt 2 \sin \alpha } \over {\sqrt 2 \cos \alpha }}$ = ${1 \over 7}$
$ \Rightarrow $ tan$\alpha $ = ${1 \over 7}$
Also given $\sqrt {{{1 - \cos 2\beta } \over 2}} = {1 \over {\sqrt {10} }}$
$ \Rightarrow $ ${{\sqrt 2 \sin \beta } \over {\sqrt 2 }}$ = ${1 \over {\sqrt {10} }}$
$ \Rightarrow $ sin $\beta $ = ${1 \over {\sqrt {10} }}$
$ \therefore $ tan $\beta $ = ${1 \over 3}$
$\tan 2\beta = {{2\tan \beta } \over {1 - {{\tan }^2}\beta }}$
= ${{2\left( {{1 \over 3}} \right)} \over {1 - {1 \over 9}}}$ = ${3 \over 4}$
$ \therefore $ tan($\alpha $ + 2$\beta $) = ${{\tan \alpha + \tan 2\beta } \over {1 - \tan \alpha .\tan 2\beta }}$
= ${{{1 \over 7} + {3 \over 4}} \over {1 - {1 \over 7}.{3 \over 4}}}$
= ${{25} \over {25}}$ = 1
