Question: Prove that \[2{\sin ^2}\theta + 3{\cos ^2}\theta = 2 + {\cos ^2}\theta \]...
Prove that 2sin2θ+3cos2θ=2+cos2θ
Solution
In this question, we have to prove that the given relation is equal or not. The given problem is the relation to prove. By using the trigonometry relations in the given relation we will prove the required result. We have to apply the formula of sin2θ+cos2θ=1
Complete step-by-step answer:
It is stated in the question 2sin2θ+3cos2θ….(i)
Now we have to apply the formula of sin2θ+cos2θ=1 from we here we can write sin2θ=1−cos2θ which we have to put in the above equation (i)
2sin2θ+3cos2θ
By using the relation sin2θ+cos2θ=1 we get,
=2(1−cos2θ)+3cos2θ
Multiplying the terms we get,
=2−2cos2θ+3cos2θ
Simplifying we get,
=2+cos2θ
∴ We have proved 2sin2θ+3cos2θ=2+cos2θ.
Note: For solving this questions of trigonometry you have to remember the formulas for all like if you have to find out the value of sinθ or Cosθ you can apply the formula sin2θ+cos2θ=1 if you have the value of either of them
Next if you need to find out the value of secθ or tanθ then you can apply the formula sec2θ−tan2θ=1, if you have the value of either of them
Now if you want to find out the value of cotθ or cosecθ, then you can apply the formula cosec2θ−cot2θ=1, but for this you must know the value of either of them.
Besides these there are some other formulas which are necessary for solving the questions of trigonometry like sinθ=cosecθ1, tanθ=cotθ1 and cosθ=secθ1
In some cases there are some questions where we have to find out the value of θ by applying those formula like sinθ=cos(90∘−θ), tanθ=cot(90∘−θ) sand secθ=cosec(90∘−θ)
