Eliminate θ between the given equations:
x = a cosec θ, y = b cot θ
Show Solution Hide Solution ↓ Given,
x = a cosec θ, y = b cot θ
⇒ cosec θ = $\frac{x}{a}$
⇒ cot θ = $\frac{y}{b}$
Using the identity
cosec2 θ - cot2 θ = 1
Substitute the values:
$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \Big(\frac{x}{a}\Big)^2 - \Big(\frac{y}{b}\Big)^2 = 1 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1\end{aligned}$$

2 Exercise 22B
Eliminate θ between the given equations:
x = a cot θ + b cosec θ, y = a cosec θ + b cot θ
Show Solution Hide Solution ↓ x = a cot θ + b cosec θ .....(1)
y = a cosec θ + b cot θ .....(2)
Subtract equation (2) from (1):
⇒ x - y = a cot θ + b cosec θ - (a cosec θ + b cot θ)
⇒ x - y = a cot θ + b cosec θ - a cosec θ - b cot θ
⇒ x - y = a (cot θ - cosec θ) - b (cot θ - cosec θ)
⇒ x - y = (a - b) (cot θ - cosec θ)
Add equation (2) from (1):
⇒ x + y = a cot θ + b cosec θ + (a cosec θ + b cot θ)
⇒ x + y = a (cot θ + cosec θ) + b (cot θ + cosec θ)
⇒ x + y = (a + b) (cot θ + cosec θ)
Now multiply:
⇒ (x + y)(x - y) = (a + b)(a - b)(cot θ + cosec θ)(cot θ - cosec θ)
⇒ x2 - y2 = (a2 - b2 )(cot2 θ - cosec2 θ)
By identity: cot2 θ − cosec 2 θ = −1
⇒ x2 - y2 = - (a2 - b2 )
⇒ x2 - y2 = b2 - a2
Hence, the required relation is x2 - y2 = b2 - a2 .

⇒ tan2 θ = $\Big(\frac{y}{b}\Big)^\frac{2}{3}$
Using the identity
sec2 θ - tan2 θ = 1
Substitute,
$\Big(\frac{x}{a}\Big)^\frac{2}{3} - \Big(\frac{y}{b}\Big)^\frac{2}{3} = 1$
Hence,the required relation is $\Big(\frac{x}{a}\Big)^\frac{2}{3} - \Big(\frac{y}{b}\Big)^\frac{2}{3} = 1$.

Show Solution Hide Solution ↓ ⇒ x = a sec A cos B
sec A cos B = $\frac{x}{a}$....(1)
⇒ y = b sec A sin B
sec A sin B = $\frac{y}{b}$....(2)
Square and add equations (1) and (2) :
$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = \sec^2 A \cos^2 B + \sec^2 A \sin^2 B \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = \sec^2 A (\cos^2 B + \sin^2 B) \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = \sec^2 A ...(3)\end{aligned}$$
Now,
⇒ z = c tan A
tan A = $\frac{z}{c}$
tan2 A = $\frac{z^2}{c^2}$...(4)
Subtract (4) from (3):
$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} - \frac{z^2}{c^2} = \sec^2 A - \tan^2 A \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} - \frac{z^2}{c^2} = 1.\end{aligned}$$
Hence, proved that $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} - \frac{z^2}{c^2} = 1$.

Solving L.H.S. of cos4 A + cos2 A = 1, we get :

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ Assertion (A) is true.

Reason (R): sec2 θ − tan2 θ = 1
(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A. (b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A. (c) A is true, but R is false. (d) A is false, but R is true.
Show Solution Hide Solution ↓ Given, sec θ + tan θ = p.
We know that sec2 θ − tan2 θ = 1.
⇒ (sec θ + tan θ)(sec θ − tan θ) = 1
⇒ (p)(sec θ − tan θ) = 1
⇒ sec θ − tan θ = $\frac{1}{p}$
Adding sec θ + tan θ = p and sec θ − tan θ = $\frac{1}{p}$ :
⇒ 2 sec θ = p + $\frac{1}{p}$ = $\frac{p^2 + 1}{p}$
⇒ sec θ = $\frac{p^2 + 1}{2p}$.
So the correct value is $\frac{p^2 + 1}{2p}$, not $\frac{2p}{p^2 + 1}$.
∴ Assertion (A) is false.
sec2 θ − tan2 θ = 1 is a standard Pythagorean identity.

(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A. (b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A. (c) A is true, but R is false. (d) A is false, but R is true.
Show Solution Hide Solution ↓ Given, sin θ = cos θ.
⇒ $\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}$ = 1 ⇒ tan θ = 1, which for an acute angle gives θ = 45°.
Also, sin θ = cos θ ⇒ sin2 θ = cos2 θ, and since sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1, we get 2 sin2 θ = 1.
⇒ 2 sin2 θ + tan2 θ = 1 + (1)2 = 1 + 1 = 2.
∴ Assertion (A) is true.
sin (90° − θ) = cos θ is a true complementary-angle identity.
∴ Reason (R) is true.
However, the value 2 sin2 θ + tan2 θ = 2 is obtained using tan θ = 1 and 2 sin2 θ = 1, not from the complementary-angle relation. So R does not explain A.
Hence, option 2 is the correct option.

Assertion (A): If sec θ + tan θ = a and sec θ − tan θ = b then ab = 1.
Reason (R): sec2 θ - tan2 θ = 1
(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A. (b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A. (c) A is true, but R is false. (d) A is false, but R is true.
Show Solution Hide Solution ↓ Given,
⇒ sec θ + tan θ = a
⇒ sec θ − tan θ = b
⇒ ab = (sec θ + tan θ)(sec θ - tan θ)
⇒ ab = sec2 θ - tan2 θ
⇒ ab = 1
So assertion (A) is true.
We know that,
⇒ sec2 θ - tan2 θ = 1
This is a fundamental trigonometric identity.
So reason (R) is true.
Thus, Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
