If x= a sec `theta + b tan theta and y = a tan theta + b sec theta ,"prove that" (x^2 - y^2 )=(a^2 -b^2)`
उत्तर
We have `x^2 - y^2 = [( a sec theta + b tan theta )^2 - ( a tan theta + b sec theta )^2]`
=`(a^2 sec^2 theta + b^2 tan^2 theta + 2 ab sec theta tan theta)`
` -(a^2 tan^2 theta + b^2 sec^2 theta + 2 ab tan theta sec theta)`
=`a^2 sec^2 theta + b^2 tan^2 theta - a^2 tan^2 theta - b^2 sec^2 theta`
=`(a^2 sec^2 theta - a^2 tan^2 theta)-( b^2 sec^2 theta - b^2 tan ^2 theta)`
=`a^2 ( sec^2 theta - tan^2 theta )-b^2 ( sec^2 theta - tan^2 theta)`
=`a^2 - b^2 [∵ sec^2 theta - tan^2 theta =1]`
Hence, `x^2 - y^2 = a^2 - b^2`

To prove cot θ + tan θ = cosec θ × sec θ, complete the activity given below.
Activity:
L.H.S = `square`
= `square/sintheta + sintheta/costheta`
= `(cos^2theta + sin^2theta)/square`
= `1/(sintheta*costheta)` ......`[cos^2theta + sin^2theta = square]`
= `1/sintheta xx 1/square`
= `square`
= R.H.S
Prove that sin4A – cos4A = 1 – 2cos2A
If cot θ = `40/9`, find the values of cosec θ and sinθ,
We have, 1 + cot2θ = cosec2θ
1 + `square` = cosec2θ
1 + `square` = cosec2θ
`(square + square)/square` = cosec2θ
`square/square` = cosec2θ ......[Taking root on the both side]
cosec θ = `41/9`
and sin θ = `1/("cosec" θ)`
sin θ = `1/square`
∴ sin θ = `9/41`
The value is cosec θ = `41/9`, and sin θ = `9/41`
