(a) 2
(b) 23
(c) 23
(d) 1
Solution
To solve the above expression, we are going to use the following trigonometric angle conversions:
sin(180∘+θ)=−sinθ, cos(90∘+θ)=−sinθ, tan(270∘−θ)=cotθ, cot(360∘+θ)=cotθ, sin(360∘+θ)=sinθ, cos(360∘+θ)=cosθ, csc(−θ)=−cscθ and sin(270∘+θ)=−cosθ. Now, substitute these conversions in the given trigonometric expression and then solve that expression. While solving that expression, we need to use the following trigonometric properties also: cotθ=sinθcosθ and cscθ=sinθ1. Hence, this is how we are going to solve the given expression.
Complete step-by-step answer:
The trigonometric expression given in the above problem which we are going to solve is as follows:
sin(360∘+θ)cos(360∘+θ)csc(−θ)sin(270∘+θ)sin(180∘+θ)cos(90∘+θ)tan(270∘−θ)cot(360∘+θ)
To solve the above trigonometric expressions we need to have knowledge of trigonometric angle conversions which we are going to show in the below:
sin(180∘+θ)=−sinθ;cos(90∘+θ)=−sinθ;tan(270∘−θ)=cotθ;cot(360∘+θ)=cotθ;sin(360∘+θ)=sinθ;cos(360∘+θ)=cosθ;csc(−θ)=−cscθ;sin(270∘+θ)=−cosθ
Now, we are going to substitute the above trigonometric angle conversions in the given expression and we get,
sinθcosθ(−cscθ)(−cosθ)−sinθ(−sinθ)cotθcotθ
We know that when we multiply two negative signs then we get positive sign so the two negative signs multiplying in the numerator and the denominator we get,
sinθcosθ(cscθ)(cosθ)sinθ(sinθ)cotθcotθ …………. (1)
Now, we are going to use the following trigonometric conversions of the trigonometric ratios.
cotθ=sinθcosθ;cscθ=sinθ1
Using the above trigonometric relations in (1) we get,
sinθcosθ(sinθ1)(cosθ)sinθ(sinθ)(sinθcosθ)(sinθcosθ)
In the numerator of the above expression, sinθ(sinθ) will be cancelled out and in the denominator of the above expression, sinθ will get cancelled out. Then the above expression will look like:
cosθ(cosθ)cosθ(cosθ)
Now, numerator and denominator is same so both these terms written in the numerator and the denominator will get cancelled out and we get,
1
Hence, the solution of the given expression is 1 and the correct option is 1.
So, the correct answer is “Option (a)”.
Note: The trick to remember the trigonometric conversions which we have done above is that in the first quadrant all sin,cos,tan,csc,sec,cot are positive. In the second quadrant, sin,csc is positive, in the third quadrant tan,cot is positive and in the fourth quadrant cos,sec.
