Trigonometric Functions Exercise 3.2 Solutions

1. Find the values of other five trigonometric functions if cos x = -1/2, x lies in third quadrant.

Solution

Since x lies in the 3rd quadrant, the value of sin x will be negative. 
∴ sin x = -√3/2 

2. Find the values of other five trigonometric functions if sin x = 3/5 x lies in quadrant 

Solution

sin x = 3/5 
cosec x = 1/sin x = 1/(3/5) = 5/3 
sin²x + cos² x = 1 
⇒ cos² x = 1 - sin² x 
⇒ cos² x = 1 - (3/5)² 
⇒ cos² x = 1 - 9/25 
⇒ cos² x = 16/25 
⇒ cos x = ± 4/5 
Since x lies in the 2nd quadrant, the value of cos x will be negative 
∴ cos x = -4/5 

3. Find the values of other five trigonometric functions if cot x = 3/4, x lies in third quadrant.  

Solution 

cot x = 3/4 

1 + tan² x = sec² x 
⇒ 1 + (4/3)² = sec² x 
⇒ 1 + 16/9 = sec² x 
⇒ 25/9 = sec² x 
⇒ sec x = ± 5/3 
Since x lies in the 3rd quadrant, the value of sec x will be negative. 
∴ sec x = -5/3 

4. Find the values of other five trigonometric functions if sec x = 13/5 , x lies in fourth quadrant. 

Solution

sec x = 13/5 

sin²x + cos² x = 1
⇒ sin² x = 1 - cos² x
⇒ sin² x = 1 - (5/13)²
⇒ sin² x = 1 - 25/169 = 144/169
⇒ sin x = ± 12/13
since x lies in the 4th quadrant, the value of sin x will be negative. 

5. Find the values of other five trigonometric functions if tan x = -5/12, x lies in second quadrant. 

Solution

tan x = -5/12 

1 + tan² x = sec² x 

Since x lies in the 2nd quadrant, the value of sec x will be negative. 
∴ sec x = -13/12 

6. find the value of the trigonometric function sin 765°. 

Solution

It is known that the values of sin x repeat after an interval of 2π or 360°.

∴ sin 765° = sin(2×360° + 45°) = sin 45° = 1/√2.

7. Find the value of the trigonometric function cosec (-1410°) 

It is known that the values of cosec x repeat after an interval of 2π or 360° . 
∴ cosec (-1410°) = cosec (-1410° + 4×360°) 
= cosec (-1410° + 1440°)
= cosec 30° = 2

8. Find the value of the trigonometric function tan(19π/3) .

Solution

It is known that the values of tan x repeat after an interval of π or  180° . 

9. Find the value of the trigonometric function sin(-11π/3)

Solution

It is known that the values of sin x repeat after an interval of 2π or 360° . 

10. Find the value of the trigonometric function cot(-15π/4) 

Solution

It is known that the values of cot x repeat after an interval of π or  180° .
