Misc 9 Find sin π‘₯/2, cos π‘₯/2 and tan π‘₯/2 for cos π‘₯ = βˆ’ 1/3 , π‘₯ in quadrant III Since x is in quadrant III 180Β° < x < 270Β° Dividing by 2 all sides (180Β°)/2 < π‘₯/2 < (270Β°)/2 90Β° < 𝒙/𝟐 < 135Β° So, π‘₯/2 lies in IInd quadrant In IInd quadrant, sin is positive, cos & tan are negative sin π‘₯/2 Positive and cos π‘₯/2 and tan π‘₯/2 negative Given, cos x = βˆ’1/3 2 cos2 𝒙/𝟐 – 1 = βˆ’πŸ/πŸ‘ In IInd quadrant, sin is positive, cos & tan are negative sin π‘₯/2 Positive and cos π‘₯/2 and tan π‘₯/2 negative Given, cos x = βˆ’1/3 2 cos2 𝒙/𝟐 – 1 = βˆ’πŸ/πŸ‘ – 1/3 = 2cos2 π‘₯/2 – 1 1 – 1/3 = 2cos2 π‘₯/2 (3 βˆ’ 1)/3 = 2cos2 π‘₯/2 2/3 = 2cos2 π‘₯/2 2cos2 π‘₯/2 = 2/3 2cos2 π‘₯/2 = 2/3 cos2 π‘₯/2 = 2/3 Γ— 1/2 cos2 π‘₯/2 = 1/3 cos π‘₯/2 = ±√(1/3) cos π‘₯/2 = Β± 1/√3 cos π‘₯/2 = Β± 1/√3 Γ— √3/√3 cos 𝒙/𝟐 = Β± βˆšπŸ‘/πŸ‘ Since π‘₯/2 lies is llnd Quadrant , cos 𝒙/𝟐 is negative So, cos 𝒙/𝟐 = (βˆ’βˆšπŸ‘)/πŸ‘ We know that sin2x + cos2x = 1 Replacing x with π‘₯/2 sin2 𝒙/𝟐 + cos2 𝒙/𝟐 = 1 sin2 π‘₯/2 = 1 – cos2 π‘₯/2 Putting cos π‘₯/2 = (βˆ’1)/√3 sin2 π‘₯/2 = 1 – ((βˆ’1)/√3)2 sin2 π‘₯/2 = 1 – 1/3 sin2 π‘₯/2 = (3 βˆ’ 1)/3 sin2 π‘₯/2 = 2/3 sin π‘₯/2 = Β± √(2/3) sin π‘₯/2 = Β± √2/√3 Γ— √3/√3 sin π‘₯/2 = Β± √(2 Γ— 3)/3 sin 𝒙/𝟐 = Β± βˆšπŸ”/πŸ‘ Since π‘₯/2 lie on the llnd Quadrant, sin 𝒙/𝟐 is positive in the llnd Quadrant So, sin 𝒙/𝟐 = βˆšπŸ”/πŸ‘ We know that tan x = sin⁑π‘₯/π‘π‘œπ‘ β‘π‘₯ Replacing x with π‘₯/2 tan 𝒙/𝟐 = π’”π’Šπ’β‘γ€– 𝒙/πŸγ€—/〖𝒄𝒐𝒔 〗⁑〖𝒙/πŸγ€— tan π‘₯/2 = (√6/3)/(βˆ’ √3/3) = √6/3 Γ— (βˆ’ 3)/√3 = – √6/√3 = – √(6/3) = – √2 Hence, tan 𝒙/𝟐 = – √𝟐 Therefore, tan π‘₯/2 = – √2 , cos π‘₯/2 = βˆ’βˆš3/3 & sin π‘₯/2 = √6/3
