`rArr tan^(2)alpha=(2)/(3)`
Now `8 cosec^(6)alpha+27sec^(6)alpha`
`8(1+cot^(2)alpha)^(3)+27(1+tan^(2)alpha)^(3)`
`=8(1+(3)/(2))^(3)+27(1+(2)/(3))^(3)`

`sin theta + sin phi = a`,`cos theta + cos phi=b`then prove `tan [(theta -phi)/2]=+-sqrt[(4-a^2-b^2)/(a^2+b^2)]`

Answer» `sqrt((4-(a^2 + b^2))/(a^2 + b^2))`
`= sqrt(4/(a^2 + b^2) -1)`
let `a^2 + b^2 = (sin theta + sin phi)^2 + (cos theta + cos phi)^2`
`= sin^2 theta + sin^2 phi + 2 sin theta sin phi + cos^2 theta + cos^2 phi + 2 cos theta cos phi`
`1 + 1 + 2[cos theta cos phi + sin theta sin phi]`
`= 2 + 2 cos ( theta - phi)`
`= 2[ 1+ cos( theta - phi)]`
`= 2[ 1 + (1- tan^2((theta - phi)/2))/(1 + tan^2((theta - phi)/2))]`
`= 2[(1 + tan^2 ((theta - phi)/2) + 1 - tan^2((theta - phi)/2))/(1 + tan^2((theta - phi)/2))]`
`a^2 + b^2 = 4/(1 + tan^2((theta - phi)/2))`
`1 + tan^2 ( (theta - phi)/2) = 4/(a^2 + b^2)`
`tan( (theta - phi)/2) = +- sqrt(4/(a^2 + b^2) - 1)`
`= +- sqrt((4 - a^2 - b^2)/(a^2 + b^2))`

If `sinx=3/5,cosy=-(12)/(13),`where x and y both lie in second quadrant, find the value of `sin (x + y)dot`

Answer» Here, `sin x = 3/5`
So, `cosx = sqrt(1-(3/5)^2)=+-4/5`

A variable triangle `A B C`is circumscribed about a fixed circle of unit radius. Side `B C`always touches the circle at D and has fixed direction. If B and C vary insuch a way that (BD) (CD)=2, then locus of vertex Awill be a straight line.parallel to side BCperpendicular to side BCmaking an angle `(pi/6)`with BCmaking an angle `sin^(-1)(2/3)`with `B C`

Answer» Here, `BD = s-b`
`CD = s-c`
`BD*CD = (s-b)(s-c)`
`=>2 = (s-b)(s-c)`
`=>2s(s-a) = s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)`
`=>2s(s-a) = Delta^2`
`=>Delta^2/s^2 = (2(s-a))/s`
`=>r^2 = 2-(2a)/s`
As, `r` is constant, so `a/s` will be constant.
Let `H_a` is the distance of `A` from `BC`.
Then, `Delta = 1/2*a*H_a`
`=>Delta/s = 1/(2s)aH_a`
It is given that circle is of unit radius,
` :. 1 = a/(2s)H_a`
`=>H_a = (2s)/a`
It means `H_a` will be constant as `a/s` is a constant.
So, locus of vertex `A` will be a straight line parallel to `BC`.
So, option `(a)` is the correct option.

If `tanA=(1)/(2) and tanB=(1)/(3)`, then `tan(2A+B)` is equal toA. 1B. 2C. 3D. 4

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Given that, `tanA=(1)/(2) and tanB=(1)/(3)`
Now, `" "tan(2A+B)=(tan2A+tanB)/(1-tan2A*tanB)" "...(i)`
`Also, " "tan2A=(2tanA)/(1-tan^(2)A)=(2*(1)/(2))/(1-(1)/(4))=(4)/(3)`
From Eq. (i), ` tan(2A+B)=((4)/(3)+(1)/(3))/(1-(4)/(3)*(1)/(3))=((4)/(3)+(1)/(3))/((9-4)/(9))=((5)/(3))/((5)/(9))=3`
