Page Number: 11.26
Question 1.
Solution:
Consider:

tanx  secx  2 cosx

implies that sinxcosx  1 / cosx  2 cosx
implies that sinx  1/ cosx  2cosx
implies that sinx  1  2cos2 x
implies that sinx  2 cos2 x – 1

implies that 2sin2 x  sinx 1  0

implies that 2sin2 x  2sinx  sinx 1  0

implies that sinx  1  0 or 2sinx  1  0

implies that sinx  1 or sinx  1/ 2

implies that 2sinxsinx  1 1sinx  1  0

implies that sinx  1/ 2sinx 1  0
Now,
sinx  1
implies that sinx  sin3 / 2
implies that x  n  1 / n 3 / 2, n  Z .

Because it contains an odd multiple of  / 2 and we know that tan x and sec x are undefined on
the odd multiple, this value will not satisfy the given equation.
And,
sinx  1/ 2
implies that sinx  sin / 6
implies that x  n   1/ n   / 6, n  Z

Now, For n=0, x=π/6

For n=1, x=11π/6
For other values of n, the condition is not true.
Hence, the given equation has two solutions in 0, 2π.
Question 2.
Solution:
Consider,
4sinx – 3 cosx  7 …(i)
The equation is of the form a sin x  b cos x  c , where a = 4, b = -3 and c = 7.
Now,
Let:
a = r sin α and b = r cos α
Thus, we have:
r  a 2  b2  42  32
5
and
tan  4 / 3
implies that   tan 1  4 / 3
By putting a = 4 = r sin α and b = -3 = r cos α in equation (i), we get:
rsin sinx  rcos cosx =7
implies that rcos  x –    7
implies that 5cos x – tan 1  4 / 3  7
implies that cos x – tan 1  4 / 3   7 / 5
The solution is not possible.
Hence, the given equation has no solution.

Question 3.
Solution:
Consider:
tan 2 x  1
implies that tan2 x  tan  / 4
implies that 2 x  n   / 4
implies that x  n / 2   / 8, n  Z

Hence, the general solution of the equation is n / 2   / 8, n  Z .

Question 4.
Solution:
Consider:
3sin x – cos x  a
implies that 3sinx – cosx 2  a 2
implies that 32 sinx –12 cosx  a 2

implies that cos30sinx – sin30cosx  a 2

implies that sin  x – 30   a 2
implies that x – 30  sin 1a 2
implies that x  sin 1a 2  30

If a = 2 or a =-2,
then the equation will possess a solution.
For no solution, a ∈(-∞, -2) ∪ (2, ∞).

Question 5.
Solution:
Given: cosx  k
If k = 0, then
cosx= 0
implies that cosx  cos  / 2
implies that x   2n  1  / 2, n  Z

Now, x  3 / 2, 5 / 2, 7 / 2,  for n  1, 2, 3, 

If k =1, then
cos x  1
implies that cos x  cos0
implies that x  2 m , m  Z

Now, x  2 , 4 , 6 , 8 ,  for m  1, 2, 3, 4, 

If k =-1, then
cos x  1
implies that cosx  cos
implies that x  2 p   , p  Z
Now
x  2 p   , i.e. x  3 ,5 ,7 , when p  1,2,3,
,…
And x  2 p –  , i.e. x   ,3 ,5 ,7 , when p  1,2,3, 4

Clearly, we can see that for x = π, cosx = k has exactly one solution.
Therefore, k = -1

Question 6.
Solution :
Given curves: 2 y  1 and y  cos x
Now,
2y 1
implies that y  1/ 2
Also,
cosx  y
implies thatcos x  1/ 2
implies that cosx  cos / 3 and cos x  cos4 / 3
implies that x  2 n   / 3 or x  2 n  4 / 3.

By putting n=0, we get: x   / 3 and x  2 / 3

For the other value of n, the value of x will not satisfy the given condition.
Hence, the number of points of intersection of the curves is two, i.e.  / 3 and 4 / 3.
Question 7.
Solution:
(i)
sin2x,1/ 2 and cos2x are in AP.
implies that sin2x  cos2x  2 1/ 2
implies that sin2x  cos2x  11

This equation is of the form asin  bcos  c , where a = 1, b = 1 and c = 1.

Now,
Let:
a  rsin and b  rcos
Thus, we have:
r  a 2  b 2  1 2  12  2
tan  1
implies that    / 4
On putting a  1  rsin and b  1  rcos in equation (1), we get:
rsin sin2 x  rcos cos2 x  1
implies that rcos  2 x –    1
implies that 2cos2 x –  / 4  1
implies that cos2 x   / 4  1/ 2
implies that cos2 x   / 4  cos / 4
implies that 2 x –  / 4  2n   / 4 , n  Z

Taking positive value, we get:

2 x –  / 4  2n   / 4
implies that x  n   / 4

Taking negative value, we get:

2 x –  / 4  2 n –  / 4
implies that 2 x –  / 4  2n –  / 4
implies that x  n , n  Z

For n = 0, the values of x are π/4 and 0

For n = 1, the values of x are 5π/4 and π.
5π/4 does not satisfy the condition.
For the other value of n, the given condition is not true, i.e. [0, π].
Question 8.
Solution:
Consider:
2 y   1 and y  cosec x

Now,
2 y  1
implies that y  1/ 2

Also,
cosecx = y
implies that cosecx  1 / 2
implies that 1 / sinx  1 / 2
implies that sinx  2

The value of sine function lies between -1 and 1.

Therefore, the two curves will not intersect at any point.
Hence, the number of points of intersection of the curves is 0.
Question 9.
Solution:
Consider:

 2cos  1 4cos  5  0

Now, 2 cos  1  0 or 4cos  5  0
implies that cos  1/ 2 or cos  5 / 4

is not possible.
Thus, we have:
cos  1 / 2
implies that cos  cos2 / 3
implies that   2 n  2 / 3
By putting n = 0 and n = 1 in the above equation, we get:

  2 / 3 or   4 / 3 in  0,2 
For the other value of n
θ will not satisfy the given condition.
  2 / 3 and 4 / 3

Question 10
Solution:
Given equation:
sin 2 – cos   1 / 4

Now,
1 – cos2  – cos 14
implies that 4 – 4 cos2 – 4 cos 1
implies that 4 cos2  4 cos – 3  0
implies that 4 cos2  6 cos – 2 cos – 3  0
implies that 2 cos  2 cos  3 –1 2 cos  3  0
implies that  2 cos  3 2 cos –1  0

Here,
2 cos  3  0
implies thatcos   –3 / 2

is not possible.
Or,
2 cos –1 0
implies that cos 1 / 2
implies that cos  cos  / 3
implies that   2n   / 3

Taking positive sign,

  7 / 3, 1 3 / 3,1 9 / 3,...

Taking negative sign,

  5 / 3,1 1 / 3,1 7 / 3,...  5 / 3

and 7π/3will satisfy the given condition, i.e.,

implies that sin 2  3 / 2
implies that sin2  sin / 3
implies that 2  n   1 n / 3, n  Z
implies that   n / 2   1 n / 6, n  Z
To obtain the smallest value of θ, we will put n = 0 in the above equation.
Thus, we have:
θ = π/6
Hence, the smallest value of θ is π/6.

Now
1  rcos , 3  rsin
implies that r  a 2  b 2
 12  32  4  2
And , tan  b / a
implies that tan  3 / 1
implies that tan  3
implies that    / 3
On putting a  1  rcos and b  3  rsin in equation (i), we get:
rcos cos  rsin sin  2
implies that rcos  –    2
implies that 2cos –  / 3  2
implies that cos –  / 3  1
implies that cos –  / 3  cos0
implies that  –  / 3  2n  0

For n = 0, θ= π/3.

Consider:
cos3x tan 5x  sin 7 x
sin  5 x  2 x 
 tan 5 x 
cos  5 x – 2 x 
sin 5 x cos 2 x  cos 5 x sin 2 x
 tan 5 x 
cos 5 x cos 2 x  sin 5 x sin 2 x
sin 5 x sin 5 x cos 2 x  cos 5 x sin 2 x
 
cos 5 x cos 5 x cos 2 x  sin 5 x sin 2 x
 sin 5 x cos 5 x cos 2 x  sin 2 5 x sin 2 x  sin 5 x cos 5 x cos 2 x  cos 2 5 x sin 2 x
 sin 2 5 x sin 2 x  cos 2 5 x sin 2 x
 
 sin 2 5 x  cos 2 5 x sin 2 x  0
  sin 5 x – cos 5 x  sin 5 x  cos 5 x  sin 2 x  0
 sin 5 x – cos 5 x  0,sin 5 x  cos 5 x  0 or sin 2 x  0
sin 5 x sin 5 x
  1,  1 or sin 2 x  0
cos 5 x cos 5 x
Now,
tan5x = 1
⇒ tan5x = tan(π/4)
⇒ 5x = nπ+ π/4, n∈Z
⇒ x = nπ/5+π/20, n∈Z
For n = 0, 1 and 2, the values of x are π/20, π/4 and 9π/20, respectively.
Or,
tan5x = 1
⇒ tan5x = tan 3/π4
⇒ 5x = nπ+3π/4, n ∈Z
⇒ x = nπ/5+3π/20, n ∈Z
For n = 0 and 1, the values of x are 3π/20 and 7π/20, respectively.
And,
sin2x = 0
⇒sin2x = sin0
⇒2x= nπ, n ∈Z
⇒ x= nπ/2, n ∈Z
For n = 0, the value of x is 0.Also, for the odd multiple ofπ2, tanx is not defined.
Hence, there are six solutions.

Now,

 2 cos   3  0 or , 2 cos  – 1  0

And,
y  esin x esin x  2  5
Taking log on both sides, we get:
sin x = loge (2 ± 5)
 sin x  log e 2  
5 or sin x  log e 2 – 5 
 sin x  log e  4.24  or sin x  log e   0.24  log e  4.24   1
And sin x cannot be greater than 1.In the other case, the log of negative term occurs, which is
not defined.

On putting a = 3 = r cos α and b = 4 = r sin α in equation (i), we get:
r cos  cos  sin  sin   6
 r cos  –    6
 5 cos  –    6
6
 cos  –   

From here, we cannot find the value of θ.

Putting a = 3 = r sin α and b = 1 = r cos α in equation (i), we get:
r cos  sin   r sin  cos   2
 r sin      2
 2 sin      2

cos 2  sin   1  0

 1 – sin 2    sin   1  0
 2 – sin 2   sin   0
 sin 2  – sin  – 2  0
 sin 2   2 sin   sin  – 2  0
 sin   sin  – 2   sin 
1 – 2   0
  sin  – 2   sin   1  0
 sin  – 2  0 or sin   1  0
 sin   2 or sin   1
Now, sinθ = 2 is not possible.
And,
sin    1
 sin   sin 3 / 2
n
   n   1 3 / 2
For n = 0, θ = 3π/2, for n = 1, θ = 7π/2 and so on.
Hence, 3π/2 lies in the interval 5π/4, 7π/4

Q20.

Solution:

The correct option is (b)

Consider equation:
cos   1/ 2
 cos   cos 120
   120
Or,
cos   cos 240 
   240 
So, both 120° and 240° lie in 0 < θ < 360°.

Q21.

Solution:
The correct option is (c)
Consider:
3 sin 2 x – 7 sin x  2  0
 3 sin 2 x  6 sin x – sin x  2  0
 3 sin x  sin x – 2   1  sin x – 2   0
  3 sin x  1  sin x – 2   0
 3 sin x – 1  0 or sin x – 2  0
Now, sin x = 2 is not possible, as the value of sin x lies between -1 and 1.
⇒sin x = 1/3
Also, sin x is positive only in first two quadrants. Therefore, sin x is positive twice in the interval
0,  .
Hence, it is positive six times in the interval  0,5  ,  0,   ,  2 ,3  and  4 ,5  .
