Sample questions

  1. 1.Which of the following correctly proves the identity: $\frac{1}{1 - \sin A} + \frac{1}{1 + \sin A} = 2 \sec^2 A$?
    • A.$\frac{1}{1 - \sin A} + \frac{1}{1 + \sin A} = \frac{2}{1 - \sin^2 A} = \frac{2}{\cos^2 A} = 2 \sec^2 A$
    • B.$\frac{1}{1 - \sin A} + \frac{1}{1 + \sin A} = \frac{2}{1 + \sin^2 A} = \frac{2}{\cos^2 A} = 2 \sec^2 A$
    • C.$\frac{1}{1 - \sin A} + \frac{1}{1 + \sin A} = \frac{2\sin A}{1 - \sin^2 A} = 2 \sec A \tan A$
    • D.$\frac{1}{1 - \sin A} + \frac{1}{1 + \sin A} = \frac{2}{1 - \sin A} = 2 \csc^2 A$
  2. 2.Using tables, find the acute angle θ, when sin θ = 0.8229.
    • A.55° 18'
    • B.55° 23'
    • C.55° 28'
    • D.54° 23'
  3. 3.(i) Using tables, find the acute angle θ, when sin θ = 0.36.
    • A.21° 6'
    • B.15° 42'
    • C.36°
    • D.21.6°
  4. 4.Which of the following correctly proves the identity $\sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos A}{1 - \cos A}} = (\csc A + \cot A)$?
    • A.$\sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos A}{1 - \cos A}} = \sqrt{\frac{(1 + \cos A)^2}{1 - \cos^2 A}} = \frac{1 + \cos A}{\sin A} = \csc A + \cot A$
    • B.$\sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos A}{1 - \cos A}} = \sqrt{\frac{1 - \cos^2 A}{(1 - \cos A)^2}} = \frac{\sin A}{1 - \cos A} = \sec A + \tan A$
    • C.$\sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos A}{1 - \cos A}} = \frac{1 + \cos A}{\sqrt{1 - \cos^2 A}} = \frac{1 + \cos A}{\sin A} = \csc A - \cot A$
    • D.$\sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos A}{1 - \cos A}} = \sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos A}{1 - \cos A} \cdot \frac{1 - \cos A}{1 - \cos A}} = \frac{1 - \cos A}{\sin A} = \csc A - \cot A$
  5. 5.Prove the following trigonometric identity by selecting the correct simplified form of the left-hand side (L.H.S.): $\frac{\tan A}{1 - \cot A} + \frac{\cot A}{1 - \tan A} = ?$
