Question

Evaluate without using trigonometric tables, 

`sin^2 28^@ + sin^2 62^@ + tan^2 38^@ - cot^2 52^@ + 1/4 sec^2 30^@`

Evaluate

Solution

`sin^2 28^@ + sin^2 62^@ + tan^2 38^@ - cot^2 52^@ + 1/4 sec^2 30^@`

= `sin^2 28^@ + sin^2(90^@ - 28^@) + tan^2 38^@ - cot^2 (90^@ - 38^@) + 1/4 sec^2 30^@`

= `(sin^2 28^@ + cos^2 28^@) + tan^2 38^@ - tan^2 38^@ + 1/4 xx (2/sqrt3)^2`

= `1 + 0 + 1/4 xx 4/3`

= `1 + 1/3`

= `4/3`
