Ex 8.3, 1 Express the trigonometric ratios sin A, sec A and tan A in terms of cot A. tan A We know that tan A = ๐/๐๐๐โก๐จ cosec A We know that 1 + cot2 A = cosec2 A cosec2 A = 1 + cot2 A cosec A = ยฑ โ(1+๐๐๐ก2 ๐ด) Here, A is acute angle (i.e. less than 90ยฐ) & cosec A is positive when A is acute โด cosec A = โ(๐+๐๐๐๐ ๐จ) sin A sin A = 1/(๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ด) Putting value of cosec A found above = ๐/(โ(๐ + ๐๐๐^๐ ๐จ) ) sec a We know that 1 + tan2 A = sec2 A sec2 A = 1 + tan2 A sec A = ยฑ โ((1+๐ก๐๐2 ๐ด)) Here, A is acute angle(i.e. less than 90ยฐ) & sec A is positive when A is acute โด sec A = โ((1+๐ก๐๐2 ๐ด)) Converting tan A to cot A = โ((๐+๐/(๐๐๐๐ ๐จ))) = โ(((๐๐๐ก2 ๐ด + 1)/(๐๐๐ก2 ๐ด)) ) = โ(ใ๐๐๐ใ^๐โก๐จ + ๐)/๐๐๐โก๐จ
