Find the value of sin π₯/2 , cos π₯/2 and tan π₯/2 in each of the following :
tanβ‘π₯ = β 4/3 , π₯ in quadrant II
Given that x is in Quadrant II
So,
90Β° < x < 180Β°
Dividing by 2 all sides
(90Β°)/2 < π₯/2 < (180Β°)/2
45Β° < π/π < 90Β°
So, π/π lies in Ist quadrant
In 1st quadrant,
sin , cos & tan are positive
β΄ sin π₯/2 , cos π₯/2 and tan π₯/2 are positive
Given
tan x = (β4)/3
We know that
tan 2x = (π πππβ‘π)/(π β πππππ)
Replacing x with π₯/2
tan (2π₯/2) = (2 π‘ππβ‘(π₯/2))/(1 β π‘ππ2(π₯/2) )
tan x = (2 π‘ππβ‘(π₯/2))/(1 β π‘ππ2(π₯/2) )
(π πππβ‘(π/π))/(π β ππππ(π/π) ) = βπ/π
β4/3 = (2 tanβ‘(π₯/2))/(1 β π‘ππ2(π₯/2) )
β4(2π₯/2) = 3Γ 2 tan (π₯/2)
β4 Γ 1 β (β4) Γ tan2 (π₯/2) = 6 tan (π₯/2)
β4 Γ 1 β (β4) Γ tan2 (π₯/2) = 6 tan (π₯/2)
β4 + 4 tan2 (π₯/2) = 6 tan (π₯/2)
β4 + 4 tan2 (π/π) β 6 tan (π/π) = 0
Replacing tan π/π by a
Our equation becomes
β4 + 4a2 β 6a = 0
4a2 β 6a β 4 = 0
4a2 β 8a + 2a β 4 = 0
4a(a β 2) + 2 (a β 2) = 0
(4a + 2) (a β 2) = 0
Hence
4a + 2 = 0
4a = β2
a = (β2)/( 4)
a = (βπ)/π
a β 2 = 0
a = 2
So, a = (β1)/2 or a = 2
Hence,
tan π₯/2 = (β1)/2 or tan π₯/2 = 2
Since, π₯/2 lies in Ist quadrant
tan π/π is positive,
β΄ tan π/π = 2
Now,
We know that
1 + tan2 x = sec2 x
Replacing x with π₯/2
1 + tan2 π/π = sec2 π/π
1 + (2)2 = sec2 π₯/2
1 + 4 = sec2 x/2
1 + 4 = sec2 x/2
5 = sec2 π₯/2
sec2 π₯/2 = 5
sec π/π = Β± βπ
Since π₯/2 lie on the 1st Quadrant,
sec π/π is positive in the 1st Quadrant
So, sec π/π = βπ
Therefore,
cos π/π = π/βπ
Now,
We know that
sin2x + cos2x = 1
Replacing x with π₯/2
sin2 π/π + cos2 π/π = 1
sin2 π₯/2 = 1 β cos2 π₯/2
Putting cos π₯/2 = β5/5
sin2 π₯/2 = 1 β (β5/5)2
sin2 π₯/2 = 1 β 5/25
sin2 π₯/2 = 1 β 1/5
sin2 π₯/2 = (5 β 1)/5
sin2 π₯/2 = 4/5
sin π₯/2 = Β± β(4/5)
sin π₯/2 = Β± β4/β5
sin π₯/2 = Β± 2/β5
sin π₯/2 = Β± 2/β5 Γ β5/β5
sin π/π = Β± (πβπ)/π
Since π₯/2 lies on the 1st Quadrant
sin π/π is positive in the 1st Quadrant
So, sin π/π = (πβπ)/π
Therefore,
tan π₯/2 = 2 , cos π/π = βπ/π & sin π/π = (πβπ)/π
