Prove that 2sin2θ+3cos2θ=2+cos2θ2{\sin ^2}\theta + 3{\cos ^2}\theta = 2 + {\cos ^2}\theta

Explanation

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{\sin ^2}\theta + {\cos ^2}\theta = 1

Complete step-by-step answer:
It is stated in the question 2sin2θ+3cos2θ2{\sin ^2}\theta + 3{\cos ^2}\theta ….(i)(i)
Now we have to apply the formula of sin2θ+cos2θ=1{\sin ^2}\theta + {\cos ^2}\theta = 1 from we here we can write sin2θ=1cos2θ{\sin ^2}\theta = 1 - {\cos ^2}\theta which we have to put in the above equation (i)(i)
2sin2θ+3cos2θ2{\sin ^2}\theta + 3{\cos ^2}\theta
By using the relation sin2θ+cos2θ=1{\sin ^2}\theta + {\cos ^2}\theta = 1 we get,
=2(1cos2θ)+3cos2θ= 2(1 - {\cos ^2}\theta ) + 3{\cos ^2}\theta
Multiplying the terms we get,
=22cos2θ+3cos2θ= 2 - 2{\cos ^2}\theta + 3{\cos ^2}\theta
Simplifying we get,
=2+cos2θ= 2 + {\cos ^2}\theta
\therefore We have proved 2sin2θ+3cos2θ=2+cos2θ2{\sin ^2}\theta + 3{\cos ^2}\theta = 2 + {\cos ^2}\theta .

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\sin \theta or Cosθ\operatorname{Cos} \theta you can apply the formula sin2θ+cos2θ=1{\sin ^2}\theta + {\cos ^2}\theta = 1 if you have the value of either of them
Next if you need to find out the value of secθ\sec \theta or tanθ\tan \theta then you can apply the formula sec2θtan2θ=1{\sec ^2}\theta - {\tan ^2}\theta = 1, if you have the value of either of them
Now if you want to find out the value of cotθ\cot \theta or cosecθ\cos ec\theta , then you can apply the formula cosec2θcot2θ=1\cos e{c^2}\theta - {\cot ^2}\theta = 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=1cosecθ\sin \theta = \dfrac{1}{{\cos ec\theta }}, tanθ=1cotθ\tan \theta = \dfrac{1}{{\cot \theta }} and cosθ=1secθ\cos \theta = \dfrac{1}{{\sec \theta }}
In some cases there are some questions where we have to find out the value of θ\theta by applying those formula like sinθ=cos(90θ)\sin \theta = \cos ({90^ \circ } - \theta ), tanθ=cot(90θ)\tan \theta = \cot ({90^ \circ } - \theta ) sand secθ=cosec(90θ)\sec \theta = \cos ec({90^ \circ } - \theta )
