Verify the following equalities.

(i) sin230° + cos230° = 1


(ii) 1 + tan245° = sec245°


(iii) cos 60° = 1 – 2sin2 30° = 2cos2 30° – 1


(iv) cos 90° = 1 – 2 sin2 45° = 2cos2 45° – 1


(v)


(vi)


(vii)


(viii) tan260° – 2tan245° – cot230° + 2sin2


(ix) 4cot245° – sec260° + sin2 60° = 1


(x) sin30° cos60° + cos30° sin60° = sin 90°


(i) We know sin 30° = (1/2) and cos 30° = (√3/2) (From the table)


Putting the values in the left hand side:




1


Which is equal to the right hand side.


Hence verified.


(ii) We know tan 45° = 1 and sec 45° = √2 (From the table)


Putting the values in the left hand side:


1 + (1)2


1 + 1


2


Putting the values in the right hand side:


(2)2


2


LHS = RHS


Hence verified.


(iii) We know sin 30° = cos 60° = (1/2) and cos 30° = (√3/2) (From the table)


So the leftmost function = cos60° = (1/2)


Putting values in the middle function:
1 – 2×



1/2


Putting values in the rightmost function:
2×



1/2


Therefore, all simplify to 1/2 and are equal.


Hence verified.


(iv) We know sin 45° = cos 45° = (1/√ 2) and cos 90° = 0 (From the table)


So the leftmost function = cos90° = 0


Putting values in the middle function:
1 – 2×



0


Putting values in the rightmost function:
2×



0


Therefore, all simplify to 0 and are equal.


Hence verified.


(v) We know sin 60° = (√3/2) (From the table)


cos 60° = (1/2)


tan 60° = √3


and sec 30° = 2


Putting values in the left hand side:




Putting values in the right hand side:


Therefore, left hand side and right hand side are equal.


Hence verified.


(vi) We know cos 60° = (1/2) (From the table)


tan 60° = √3


Putting values in the left hand side:




Putting values in the right hand side:





Therefore, left hand side and right hand side are equal.


Hence verified.


(vii) We know sec 60° = (2/√3) (From the table)


tan 30° = (1/√3)


sin 30° = (1/2)


Putting values in the left hand side:



3


Putting values in the right hand side:



3


Therefore, left hand side and right hand side are equal.


Hence verified.


(viii) We know sin 30° = (1/2) (From the table)


cot 30° = √3


cosec 45° = √2


tan 60° = √3


and tan 45° = 1


Putting the values in the left hand side:




0


Which is equal to the right hand side.


Hence verified.


(ix) We know cos 60° = (1/2) (From the table)


sin 60° = (√3/2)


sec 60° = 2


and cot 45° = 1


Putting the values in the left hand side:




1


Which is equal to the right hand side.


Hence verified.


(x) We know sin 30° = cos 60° = (1/2) (From the table)


Cos 30° = sin 60° = (√3/2)


Sin 90° = 1


So the right hand side = sin 90° = 1


Putting the values in the left hand side:




1


Which is equal to the right hand side.


Hence verified.
