Since , tan θ + tan 2θ + tan 3θ = tan θ ∙ tan 2θ ∙ tan 3θ,
we get, tan (θ + 2θ + 3θ) = θ
∴ tan6θ = 0
∴ 6θ = nπ, θ = \(\frac{n \pi}{6}\).]

II: Solve the following
Question 1.
Find the principal solutions of the following equations :
(i) sin2θ = \(-\frac{1}{2}\)
Solution:
sin2θ = \(-\frac{1}{2}\)
Since, θ ∈ (0, 2π), 2∈ ∈ (0, 4π)
Maharashtra-Board-12th-Maths-Solutions-Chapter-3-Trigonometric-Functions-Miscellaneous-Exercise-3-7

(ii) tan3θ = -1
Solution:
Since, θ ∈ (0, 2π), 3∈ ∈ (0, 6π)
Maharashtra-Board-12th-Maths-Solutions-Chapter-3-Trigonometric-Functions-Miscellaneous-Exercise-3-8
… [∵ tan(π – θ) = tan(2π – θ) = tan(3π – θ)
= tan (4π – θ) = tan (5π – θ) = tan (6π – θ) = -tan θ]
∴ tan3θ = tan\(\frac{3 \pi}{4}\) = tan\(\frac{7 \pi}{4}\) = tan\(\frac{11 \pi}{4}\) = tan\(\frac{15 \pi}{4}\)
Maharashtra-Board-12th-Maths-Solutions-Chapter-3-Trigonometric-Functions-Miscellaneous-Exercise-3-9

(iii) cotθ = 0
Solution:
cotθ = 0
Since θ ∈ (0, 2π),
cotθ = 0 = cot \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) = cot (π + \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) …[∵ cos(π + θ) = cotθ]
∴ cotθ = cot\(\frac{\pi}{2}\) = cot\(\frac{3 \pi}{2}\)
∴ θ = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) or θ = \(\frac{3 \pi}{2}\)
Hence, the required principal solutions are \(\left\{\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3 \pi}{2}\right\}\)

Solution:

(iii) cot2θ = 0
Solution:

Question 3.
Which of the following equations have no solutions ?
(i) cos 2θ = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
Solution:
cos 2θ = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
Since \(\frac{1}{3}\) ≤ cosθ ≤ 1 for any θ
cos2θ = \(\frac{1}{3}\) has solution

(ii) cos 2 θ = -1
Solution:
cos2θ = -1
This is not possible because cos2θ ≥ 0 for any θ.
∴ cos2θ = -1 does not have any solution.

(iii) 2 sinθ = 3
Solution:
2 sin θ = 3 ∴ sin θ = \(\frac{3}{2}\)
This is not possible because -1 ≤ sin θ ≤ 1 for any θ.
∴ 2 sin θ = 3 does not have any solution.

(iv) 3 sin θ = 5
Solution:
3 sin θ = 5
∴ sin θ = \(\frac{5}{3}\)
This is not possible because -1 ≤ sin θ ≤ 1 for any θ.
∴ 3 sin θ = 5 does not have any solution.

Question 4.
Find the general solutions of the following equations :
(i) tanθ = \(-\sqrt {x}\)
Solution:
The general solution of tan θ = tan ∝ is
θ = nπ + ∝, n ∈ Z.
Now, tanθ = \(-\sqrt {x}\)
∴ tanθ = tan\(\frac{\pi}{3}\) …[∵ tan\(\frac{\pi}{3}\) = \(\sqrt {3}\)]
∴ tanθ = tan\(\left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{3}\right)\) …[∵ tan(π – θ) = -tanθ]
∴ tanθ = tan\(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\)
∴ the required general solution is
θ = nπ + \(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\), n ∈ Z.

(ii) tan 2 θ = 3
Solution:
The general solution of tan 2 θ = tan 2 ∝ is
θ = nπ ± ∝, n ∈ Z.
Now, tan 2 θ = 3 = (\(\sqrt {x}\)) 2
∴ tan 2 θ = (tan\(\frac{\pi}{3}\)) 2 …[∵ tan\(\frac{\pi}{3}\) = \(\sqrt {3}\)]
∴ tan 2 θ = tan 2 \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)
∴ the required general solution is
θ = nπ ± \(\frac{\pi}{3}\), n ∈ Z.

(iii) sin θ – cosθ = 1
Solution:
∴ cosθ – sin θ = -1

Maharashtra-Board-12th-Maths-Solutions-Chapter-3-Trigonometric-Functions-Miscellaneous-Exercise-3-73

(iv) sin 2 θ – cos 2 θ = 1
Solution:
sin 2 θ – cos 2 θ = 1
∴ cos 2 θ – sin 2 θ = -1
∴ cos2θ = cosπ …(1)
The general solution of cos θ = cos ∝ is
θ = 2nπ ± ∝, n ∈ Z
∴ the general solution of (1) is given by
2θ = 2nπ ± π, n ∈ Z
∴ θ = nπ ± \(\frac{\pi}{2}\), n ∈ Z

Question 6.
With usual notations prove that \(\frac{\sin (A-B)}{\sin (A+B)}=\frac{a^{2}-b^{2}}{c^{2}}\).
Solution:
By the sine rule,
\(\frac{a}{\sin \mathrm{A}}\) = \(\frac{b}{\sin \mathrm{B}}\) = \(\frac{c}{\sin \mathrm{C}}\) = k
∴ a = ksinA, b = ksinB, c = ksinC
Maharashtra-Board-12th-Maths-Solutions-Chapter-3-Trigonometric-Functions-Miscellaneous-Exercise-3-14

Question 7.
In ∆ABC prove that (a – b) 2 2cos 2 \(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) + (a + b) 2 sin 2 \(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) = c 2 .
Solution:
LHS (a – b) 2 2cos 2 \(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) + (a + b) 2 sin 2 \(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\)
= (a 2 + b 2 – 2ab) cos 2 \(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) + (a 2 + b 2 + 2ab) sin\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) 2
= (a 2 + b 2 ) cos 2 \(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) – 2ab cos 2 \(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) + (a 2 + b 2 ) sin 2 \(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) + 2ab sin 2 \(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\)
= (a 2 + b 2 ) (cos 2 \(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) + sin 2 \(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\)) – 2ab(cos 2 \(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\) – sin 2 \(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\))
= a 2 + b 2 – 2ab cos C
= c 2 = RHS.

Question 8.
In ∆ABC if cosA = sin B – cos C then show that it is a right angled triangle.
Solution:
cos A= sin B – cos C
∴ cos A + cos C = sin B
Maharashtra-Board-12th-Maths-Solutions-Chapter-3-Trigonometric-Functions-Miscellaneous-Exercise-3-15
∴ A – C = B
∴ A = B + C
∴ A + B + C = 180° gives
A + A = 180°
∴ 2A = 180 ∴ A = 90°
∴ ∆ ABC is a rightangled triangle.

Question 9.
If \(\frac{\sin A}{\sin C}=\frac{\sin (A-B)}{\sin (B-C)}\) then show that a 2 , b 2 , c 2 , are in A.P.
Solution:
By sine rule,
\(\frac{\sin \mathrm{A}}{a}\) = \(\frac{\sin \mathrm{B}}{b}\) = \(\frac{\sin \mathrm{C}}{c}\) = k
∴ sin A = ka, sin B = kb,sin C = kc
Now, \(\frac{\sin A}{\sin C}=\frac{\sin (A-B)}{\sin (B-C)}\)
∴ sinA∙sin(B – C) = sinC∙sin(A -B)
∴ sin [π – (B + C)] ∙ sin (B – C)
= sin [π – (A + B)]∙sin (A – B) … [∵ A + B + C = π]
∴ sin(B + C) ∙ sin(B – C) = sin (A + B) ∙ sin (A – B)
∴ sin 2 B – sin 2 C = sin 2 A – sin 2 B
∴ 2 sin 2 B = sin 2 A + sin 2 C
∴ 2k 2 b 2 = k 2 a 2 + k 2 c 2
∴ 2b 2 = a 2 + c 2
Hence, a 2 , b 2 , c 2 are in A.P.

Question 10.
Solve the triangle in which a = (\(\sqrt {3}\) + 1), b = (\(\sqrt {3}\) – 1) and ∠C = 60°.
Solution:
Given : a = \(\sqrt {3}\) + 1, b = \(\sqrt {3}\) – 1 and ∠C = 60°.
By cosine rule,
c 2 = a 2 + b 2 – 2ab cos C
= (\(\sqrt {3}\) + 1) 2 + (\(\sqrt {3}\) – 1) 2 – 2(\(\sqrt {3}\) + 1)(\(\sqrt {3}\) – 1)cos60°
= 3 + 1 + 2\(\sqrt {3}\) + 3+ 1 – 2\(\sqrt {3}\) – 2(3 – 1)\(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\)
= 8 – 2 = 6
∴ c = \(\sqrt {6}\) …[∵ c > 0)
By sine rule,
Maharashtra-Board-12th-Maths-Solutions-Chapter-3-Trigonometric-Functions-Miscellaneous-Exercise-3-16
∴ sin A = sin 60° cos 45° + cos 60° sin 45°
and sin B = sin 60° cos 45° – cos 60° sin 45°
∴ sin A = sin (60° + 45°) – sin 105°
and sin B = sin (60° – 45°) = sin 15°
∴ A = 105° and B = 15°
Hence, A = 105°, B 15° and C = \(\sqrt {6}\) units.

Question 11.
In ∆ABC prove the following :
(i) a sin A – b sin B = c sin (A – B)
Solution:
By sine rule,
\(\frac{a}{\sin \mathrm{A}}\) = \(\frac{b}{\sin \mathrm{B}}\) = \(\frac{c}{\sin \mathrm{C}}\) = k
∴ a = ksinA, b = ksinB, c = ksinC,
LHS = a sin A – b sinB
= ksinA∙sinA – ksinB∙sinB
= k (sin 2 A – sin 2 B)
= k (sin A + sin B)(sin A – sin B)
Maharashtra-Board-12th-Maths-Solutions-Chapter-3-Trigonometric-Functions-Miscellaneous-Exercise-3-17
= k × sin (A + B) × sin (A – B)
= ksin(π – C)∙sin(A – B) … [∵ A + B + C = π]
= k sinC∙sin (A – B)
= c sin (A – B) = RHS.

(ii) \(\frac{c-b \cos A}{b-c \cos A}=\frac{\cos B}{\cos C}\).
Solution:
Maharashtra-Board-12th-Maths-Solutions-Chapter-3-Trigonometric-Functions-Miscellaneous-Exercise-3-18

(iii) a 2 sin (B – C) = (b 2 – c 2 ) sinA
Solution:
By sine rule,
\(\frac{a}{\sin \mathrm{A}}\) = \(\frac{b}{\sin \mathrm{B}}\) = \(\frac{c}{\sin \mathrm{C}}\) = k
∴ a = ksinA, b = ksinB, c = ksinC
RHS = (b 2 – c 2 ) sin A
= (k 2 sin 2 B – k 2 sin 2 C)sin A
= k 2 (sin 2 B – sin 2 C) sin A
= k 2 (sin B + sin C)(sin B – sin C) sin A
Maharashtra-Board-12th-Maths-Solutions-Chapter-3-Trigonometric-Functions-Miscellaneous-Exercise-3-19
= k 2 × sin (B + C) × sin (B – C) × sin A
= k 2 ∙sin(π – A)∙sin(B – C)∙sinA … [∵ A + B + C = π]
= k 2 sin A∙sin (B – C)∙sin A
= (k sin A) 2 ∙sin (B – C)
= a 2 sin (B – C) = LHS.

(iv) ac cos B – bc cos A = (a 2 – b 2 ).
Solution:
LHS = ac cos B – bc cos A
= ac\(\left(\frac{c^{2}+a^{2}-b^{2}}{2 c a}\right)\) – bc\(\left(\frac{b^{2}+c^{2}-a^{2}}{2 b c}\right)\)
=\(\frac{1}{2}\)(c 2 + a 2 – b 2 ) – \(\frac{1}{2}\)(b 2 + c 2 – a 2 )
= \(\frac{1}{2}\)(c 2 + a 2 – b 2 – b 2 – c 2 + a 2 )
= \(\frac{1}{2}\)(2a 2 – 2b 2 ) = a 2 – b2 = RHS.

Given : \(\frac{\cos A}{a}=\frac{\cos B}{b}\) ….(1)
By sine rule,
Maharashtra-Board-12th-Maths-Solutions-Chapter-3-Trigonometric-Functions-Miscellaneous-Exercise-3-34
∴ sin A cos B = cos A sinB
∴ sinA cosB – cosA sinB = 0
∴ sin (A – B) = 0 = sin0
∴ A – B = 0 ∴ A = B
∴ the triangle is an isosceles triangle.

Question is modified
In ∆ABC if sin 2 A + sin 2 B = sin 2 C then show that the triangle is a right angled triangle.
Solution:
By sine rule,
\(\frac{\sin \mathrm{A}}{a}\) = \(\frac{\sin \mathrm{B}}{b}\) = \(\frac{\sin \mathrm{C}}{c}\) = k
∴ sin A = ka, sinB = kb, sin C = kc
∴ sin 2 A + sin 2 B = sin 2 C
∴ k 2 a 2 + k 2 b 2 = k 2 c 2
∴ a 2 + b 2 = c 2
∴ ∆ABC is a rightangled triangle, rightangled at C.

Solution:
By sine rule,
\(\frac{a}{\sin \mathrm{A}}\) = \(\frac{b}{\sin \mathrm{B}}\) = \(\frac{c}{\sin \mathrm{C}}\) = k
LHS = a 2 (cos 2 B – cos 2 C) + b 2 ( cos 2 C – cos 2 A) + c 2 (cos 2 A – cos 2 B)
= k 2 sin 2 A [(1 – sin 2 B) – (1 – sin 2 C)] + k 2 sin 2 B [(1 – sin 2 C) – (1 – sin 2 A)] + k 2 sin 2 C[(1 – sin 2 A) – (1 – sin 2 B)]
= k 2 sin 2 A (sin 2 C – sin 2 B) + k 2 sin 2 B(sin 2 A – sin 2 C) + k 2 sin 2 C (sin 2 B – sin 2 A)
= k 2 (sin 2 A sin 2 C – sin 2 Asin 2 B + sin 2 A sin 2 B – sin 2 B sin 2 C + sin 2 B sin 2 C – sin 2 A sin 2 C)
= k 2 (0) = 0 = RHS.

Question 17.
With usual notations show that (c 2 – a 2 + b 2 ) tan A = (a 2 – b 2 + c 2 ) tan B = (b 2 – c 2 + a 2 ) tan C.
Solution:
By sine rule,
\(\frac{a}{\sin A}\) = \(\frac{b}{\sin B}\) = \(\frac{c}{\sin C}\) = k
∴ a = fksinA, b = ksinB, c = ksinC

Maharashtra-Board-12th-Maths-Solutions-Chapter-3-Trigonometric-Functions-Miscellaneous-Exercise-3-36
From (1), (2) and (3), we get
(c 2 – a 2 + b 2 ) tan A = (a 2 – b 2 + c 2 ) tan B
= (b 2 – c 2 + a 2 ) tan C.

Question 18.
In ∆ABC, if a cos 2 \(\frac{C}{2}\) + c cos 2 \(\frac{A}{2}\) = \(\frac{3 b}{2}\), then prove that a , b ,c are in A.P.
Solution:
a cos 2 \(\frac{C}{2}\) + c cos 2 \(\frac{A}{2}\) = \(\frac{3 b}{2}\)
Maharashtra-Board-12th-Maths-Solutions-Chapter-3-Trigonometric-Functions-Miscellaneous-Exercise-3-37
∴ a + c + b = 3b …[∵ a cos C + c cos A = b]
∴ a + c = 2b
Hence, a, b, c are in A.P.

Question 29.
If tan -1 2x + tan -1 3x = \(\frac{\pi}{4}\), then find the value of x.
Question is modified
If tan -1 2x + tan -1 3x = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\), then find the value of x.
Solution:
tan -1 2x + tan -1 3x = \(\frac{\pi}{4}\)
∴ tan -1 \(\left(\frac{2 x+3 x}{1-2 x \times 3 x}\right)\) = tan\(\frac{\pi}{4}\), where 2x > 0, 3x > 0
∴ \(\frac{5 x}{1-6 x^{2}}\) = tan\(\frac{\pi}{4}\) = 1
∴ 5x = 1 – 6x 2
∴ 6x 2 + 5x – 1 = 0
∴ 6x 2 + 6x – x – 1 = 0
∴ 6x(x +1) – 1(x + 1) = 0
∴ (x + 1)(6x – 1) = 0
∴ x = -1 or x = \(\frac{1}{6}\)
But x > 0 ∴ x ≠ -1
Hence, x = \(\frac{1}{6}\)

cos -1 x + cos -1 y+ cos -1 z = 3π
∴ cos -1 x = π, cos -1 y = π and cos -1 z = π
∴ x = y = z = cosπ = -1
∴ x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + 2xyz
= (-1) 2 + (-1) 2 + (-1) 2 + 2(-1)(-1)(-1)
= 1 + 1 + 1 – 2
= 3 – 2 = 1.
