Question

Simplify the following trionometric function:

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

To solve the problem, you need to know the following information:

Replace the trigonometric functions with these values:

$$\frac{4(\frac{3}{4}$)-(1)}{($\frac{3\sqrt{2}$}{2})}$

$$\frac{2}{(\frac{3\sqrt{2}$}{2})}$

$$\frac{4}{3\sqrt{2}$} = $\frac{4\cdot \sqrt{2}$}{3$\sqrt{2}$\cdot $\sqrt{2}$} = $\frac{4\sqrt{2}$}{6} = $\frac{2\sqrt{2}$}{3}$

Answer

To determine the value of the expression, you must know the following trigonometric values:

$sin $(30^{\circ}$)=\frac{1}{2}$$

Replacing these values, we get:

$$\frac{2}{4}$-$\frac{1}{2}$=\frac{1}{2}$-$\frac{1}{2}$=0$

Question

If $cos\ x=\frac{1}{3}$$ and $sin\ x\neq 0$ , give the value of $\frac{sin\ x+sin\ 2x}{sin\ x-sin\ 2x}$ .

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Based on the double angle formula we have, $sin\ 2x=2(sin\ x)(cos\ x)$ .

$\frac{sin\ x+sin\ 2x}{sin\ x-sin\ 2x}$=\frac{sin\ x+2(sin\ x)(cos\ x)}{sin\ x-2(sin\ x)(cos\ x)}$

$=\frac{sinx(1+2cos\ x )}{sinx(1-2cos\ x )}$=\frac{1+2cos\ x}{1-2cos\ x}$$

$=\frac{1+2(\frac{1}{3}$)}{1-2($\frac{1}{3}$)}=\frac{\frac{3+2}{3}$}{$\frac{3-2}{3}$}=5$

Question

If $x=\frac{\pi}{3}$$ , give the value of $\frac{sin\ x}{sin\ x+cos\ 2x}$ .

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

$x=\frac{\pi}{3}$\Rightarrow sin\ x=sin($\frac{\pi}{3}$)=\frac{\sqrt{3}$}{2}$

Now we can write:

$x=\frac{\pi}{3}$\Rightarrow 2x=2($\frac{\pi}{3}$)=\frac{2\pi}{3}$\Rightarrow cos\ 2x=cos($\frac{2\pi}{3}$)$

$=cos(\pi-$\frac{\pi}{3}$)$

$=-cos ($\frac{\pi}{3}$)$

$=-$\frac{1}{2}$$

Now we can substitute the values:

$$\frac{sin\ x}{sin\ x+cos\ 2x}$=\frac{\frac{\sqrt{3}$}{2}}{$\frac{\sqrt{3}$}{2}-$\frac{1}{2}$}=\frac{\sqrt{3}$}{$\sqrt{3}$-1}=\frac{\sqrt{3}$}{$\sqrt{3}$-1}\times $\frac{{\sqrt{3}$+1}}{{$\sqrt{3}$+1}}=\frac{3+\sqrt{3}$}{2}$

Question

If $cot\ $34^{\circ}$=1.5$ , give the value of $$\frac{2sin\ $326^{\circ}$$+3sin\ $56^{\circ}$}{cos\ $304^{\circ}$}$ .

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Now we can simplify the expression as follows:

$$\frac{2sin\ $326^{\circ}$$+3sin\ $56^{\circ}$}{cos\ $304^{\circ}$}=\frac{-2sin\ $34^{\circ}$$+3cos\ $34^{\circ}$}{sin\ $34^{\circ}$}$

$=-2+3cot\ $34^{\circ}$=-2+3\times 1.5=-2+4.5=2.5$

Question

If $sin\ x\times cos\ x=\frac{1}{2}$$ , what is the value of $(sin\ x+cos\ $x)^2$$ ?

Answer

$(sin\ x+cos\ $x)^2$$=sin^2x$$+cos^2x$+2sin\x cos\ x$

$=1+2(sin\ x)(cos\ x)=1+2($\frac{1}{2}$)=1+1=2$

Question

$tan (x)sin(x) + sec(x)(cos $x)^{2}$ =$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

$tan (x)sin(x) + sec(x)(cos $x)^{2}$ =$

$$\frac{sin (x)}{cos (x)}$* sin(x) + $\frac{1}{cos (x)}$*(cos $x)^{2}$ =$

$$\frac{(sin $x)^{2}$$ + (cos $x)^{2}$}{cos (x)} = $\frac{1}{cos (x)}$ = sec (x)$

Question

Simplify the following expression:

$A=cos($\frac{3\pi}{2}$+x)+sin (\pi+x)+cos($\frac{\pi}{2}$+x)+sin(\pi-x)$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

We need to use the following identities:

$cos($\frac{3\pi}{2}$+x)=sin\ x$

$sin (\pi+x)=-sin\ x$

$cos($\frac{\pi}{2}$+x)=-sin\ x$

$sin(\pi-x)=sin\ x$

Use these to simplify the expression as follows:

$A=cos($\frac{3\pi}{2}$+x)+sin (\pi+x)+cos($\frac{\pi}{2}$+x)+sin(\pi-x)$

$\Rightarrow A=sin\ x-sin\ x-sin\ x+sin\ x = 0$

Question

Give the value of :

$A=\frac{2sin(\frac{\pi}{2}$)+4cos($\frac{\pi}{2}$)}{4sin($\frac{\pi}{2}$)-cos($\frac{\pi}{2}$)}$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

$sin($\frac{\pi}{2}$)=1$

$cos($\frac{\pi}{2}$)=0$

Plug these values in:

$A=\frac{2sin(\frac{\pi}{2}$)+4cos($\frac{\pi}{2}$)}{4sin($\frac{\pi}{2}$)-cos($\frac{\pi}{2}$)}=\frac{2\times 1+4\times 0}{4\times 1-0}$=\frac{2}{4}$=\frac{1}{2}$=0.5$

Question

If $tan\ x = $\frac{1}{4}$$ , solve for

$D=\frac{sin\ x}{sin\ x-cos\ x}$+\frac{sin\ x+cos\ x}{cos\ x}$$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

$tan\ x=\frac{1}{4}$\Rightarrow $\frac{sin\ x}{cos\ x}$=\frac{1}{4}$\Rightarrow cos\ x=4sin\ x$

Substitute $cos\ x=4sin \ x$ into the expression:

$D=\frac{sin\ x}{sin\ x-cos\ x}$+\frac{sin\ x+cos\ x}{cos\ x}$=\frac{sin\ x}{sin\ x-4sin\ x}$+\frac{sin\ x+4sin\ x}{4sin\ x}$$

$\Rightarrow D=\frac{sin\ x}{-3sin\ x}$+\frac{5sin\ x}{4sin\ x}$$

$\Rightarrow D=-$\frac{1}{3}$+\frac{5}{4}$=\frac{-4+15}{12}$=\frac{11}{12}$$

Question

If $cot\ x= 3$ , give the value of :

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

$cot\ x=3\Rightarrow $\frac{cos\ x}{sin\ x}$=3\Rightarrow cos\ x= 3sin\ x$

Now substitute $cos\ x=3sin\ x$ into the expression:

$\Rightarrow $D=\frac{9sin^2x$$}{3sin^2x$}$-$\frac{4sin\ x}{sin\ x}$$

$\Rightarrow D=\frac{9}{3}$-4=3-4=-1$

Question

Which of the following is equivalent to

$\tan\theta\csc\theta$ ?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

In order to evaluate this expression, rewrite the trigonometric identity in terms of sines and cosines. The tangent is equal to the sine over the cosine and the cosecant is the reciprocal of the sine; thus, we can write the following:

$\tan(\theta)\csc(\theta)= $\frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)}$\times$\frac{1}{\sin(\theta)}$$

Now, can simplify. Notice that the sine terms cancel each other out.

$\frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)}$\times$\frac{1}{\sin(\theta)}$= $\frac{1}{\cos(\theta)}$

Remember, that the reciprocal of the cosine is the secant.

$$\frac{1}{\cos(\theta)}$= \sec(\theta)$

Question

Simplify: $\frac{sin(\theta)}{tan(\theta)}$-$\frac{csc(\theta)}{sec(\theta)}$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Rewrite $\frac{sin(\theta)}{tan(\theta)}$-$\frac{csc(\theta)}{sec(\theta)}$ in terms of sines and cosines.

$$\frac{sin(\theta)}{tan(\theta)}$-$\frac{csc(\theta)}{sec(\theta)}$ = $\frac{sin(\theta)}{\frac{sin(\theta)}${cos(\theta)}}-$\frac{\frac{1}{sin(\theta)}$}{$\frac{1}{cos(\theta)}$}$

Simplify the complex fractions.

$\frac{sin(\theta)}{\frac{sin(\theta)}${cos(\theta)}}-$\frac{\frac{1}{sin(\theta)}$}{$\frac{1}{cos(\theta)}$}=sin(\theta)\cdot $\frac{cos(\theta)}{sin(\theta)}$-$\frac{1}{sin(\theta)}$\cdot $\frac{cos(\theta)}{1}$

$=cos(\theta)-$\frac{cos(\theta)}{sin(\theta)}$= cos(\theta)-cot(\theta)$
