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 = š/šššā”šØ cosec A We know that 1 + cot2 A = cosec2 A cosec2 A = 1 + cot2 A cosec A = ± ā(1+ššš”2 š“) Here, A is acute angle (i.e. less than 90°) & cosec A is positive when A is acute ā“ cosec A = ā(š+šššš šØ) sin A sin A = 1/(ššš šš š“) Putting value of cosec A found above = š/(ā(š + ššš^š šØ) ) sec a We know that 1 + tan2 A = sec2 A sec2 A = 1 + tan2 A sec A = ± ā((1+š”šš2 š“)) Here, A is acute angle(i.e. less than 90°) & sec A is positive when A is acute ā“ sec A = ā((1+š”šš2 š“)) Converting tan A to cot A = ā((š+š/(šššš šØ))) = ā(((ššš”2 š“ + 1)/(ššš”2 š“)) ) = ā(ćšššć^šā”šØ + š)/šššā”šØ
