Step 1

= 3 (sin 4θ + cos 4θ) - 2 [ (sin 2θ)3 + (cos2θ)3 } ]

Step 2

= 3 (sin 4θ + cos 4θ) - 2 [ (sin 2θ + cos 2θ) {(sin2θ)2 + (cos2θ)2 - sin2θ cos 2θ } ]

Step 3

Since sin2θ + cos 2θ = 1

=3 (sin4θ + cos 4θ) - 2 {sin 4θ + cos 4θ - sin 2θ cos 2θ }

Step 4

= sin4θ + cos 4θ + 2 sin 2θ cos 2θ

Step 5

= (sin 2θ + cos 2θ)2 = 12 = 1

Step 2
Now divide numerator and denominator of this fraction by cosθ
(7 sinθ - cosθ)/cosθ
⇒S=

(7 sinθ/cosθ - 1)
⇒S=
(7 sinθ/cosθ + 1)
(7 tanθ - 1)
⇒S=

Step 1
It is given that
2sinθ – cosθ = 2
⇒ (2sinθ – cosθ)2 = 22 ....... [On squaring both sides]

Step 2

Now add (sinθ + 2cosθ)2 to both sides of equation

⇒ (2sinθ – cosθ)2 + (sinθ + 2cosθ)2 = 22 + (sinθ + 2cosθ)2
⇒ 4sin2θ + cos 2θ - 4sinθcosθ + sin 2θ + 4cos 2θ + 4sinθcosθ = 4 + (sinθ + 2cosθ) 2
⇒ 5sin2θ + 5cos 2θ + 4sinθcosθ - 4sinθcosθ = 4 + (sinθ + 2cosθ) 2
⇒ 5(sin2θ + cos 2θ) = 4 + (sinθ + 2cosθ) 2
⇒ 5 = 4 + (sinθ + 2cosθ) 2
⇒ (sinθ + 2cosθ)2 = 5 - 4
⇒ (sinθ + 2cosθ)2 = 1
⇒ sinθ + 2cosθ = ± 1

Step 3
Since 2sinθ – cosθ=2, ignore the negative value.
Therefore, sinθ + 2cosθ = 1

(11) 23

Step 1
tan θ + cot θ = 5

Step 2
On squaring both sides,
(tan θ + cot θ) 2 = 52

Step 3

tan2θ + cot 2θ + 2 tanθ cotθ = 25

Step 4

tan2θ + cot 2θ + 2 = 25

Step 5

tan2θ + cot 2θ = 25 - 2 = 23

Step 1
We need to find following product
S = (1 + cotθ + cosecθ) (1 + tanθ - secθ)

Step 2
On multiplying each terms
⇒ S = 1 (1 + tanθ - secθ) + cotθ (1 + tanθ - secθ) + cosecθ (1 + tanθ - secθ)
⇒ S = (1 + tanθ - secθ) + (cotθ + cotθ tanθ - cotθ secθ ) + (cosecθ + cosecθ tanθ - cosecθ secθ)

Step 3
Using identities cotθ tanθ = 1, cotθ secθ = cosecθ and cosecθ tanθ = secθ
⇒ S = (1 + tanθ - secθ) + (cotθ + 1 - cosecθ ) + (cosecθ + secθ - cosecθ secθ)

Step 4
Now positive cosecθ and secθ will cancel each other
⇒ S = (1 + tanθ - secθ) + (cotθ + 1 - cosecθ ) + (cosecθ + secθ - cosecθ secθ)
⇒ S = 2 + tanθ + cotθ - cosecθ secθ

Step 5
Using identities tanθ = sinθ/cosθ, and cotθ = cosθ/sinθ
sinθ cosθ
⇒S=2+ + - cosecθ secθ
cosθ sinθ

sin2θ + cos 2θ
⇒S=2+ - cosecθ secθ
sinθcosθ
1
⇒S=2+ - cosecθ secθ
sinθcosθ
⇒ S = 2 + cosecθ secθ - cosecθ secθ
⇒S=2

(15) True

We know that cotθ is greater than tanθ, if θ < 45°.

Therefore tan 8° - cot 8° will be negative, and statement "tan 8° - cot 8° < 0" is True.
