Q7(i):
If $\cot \theta = \frac{7}{8}$, evaluate : (i) $\frac{(1 + \sin \theta) (1 - \sin \theta)}{(1 + \cos \theta) (1 - \cos \theta)}$
Solution :
Given: $\cot \theta = \frac{7}{8}$
To find: The value of $\frac{(1 + \sin \theta) (1 - \sin \theta)}{(1 + \cos \theta) (1 - \cos \theta)}$
Step 1: Define the trigonometric ratio in terms of sides.
In a right-angled triangle, $\cot \theta = \frac{\text{Adjacent side}}{\text{Opposite side}}$.
Given $\cot \theta = \frac{7}{8}$, let the adjacent side $AB = 7k$ and the opposite side $BC = 8k$, where $k$ is a positive constant.
Step 2: Calculate the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean Theorem.
According to the Pythagorean Theorem: $AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2$.
$AC^2 = (7k)^2 + (8k)^2$
$AC^2 = 49k^2 + 64k^2$
$AC^2 = 113k^2$
$AC = \sqrt{113}k$
Step 3: Determine $\sin \theta$ and $\cos \theta$.
$\sin \theta = \frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Hypotenuse}} = \frac{8k}{\sqrt{113}k} = \frac{8}{\sqrt{113}}$
$\cos \theta = \frac{\text{Adjacent}}{\text{Hypotenuse}} = \frac{7k}{\sqrt{113}k} = \frac{7}{\sqrt{113}}$
Step 4: Simplify the expression using algebraic identities.
The expression is $\frac{(1 + \sin \theta) (1 - \sin \theta)}{(1 + \cos \theta) (1 - \cos \theta)}$.
Using the algebraic identity $(a+b)(a-b) = a^2 - b^2$:
Numerator: $(1 + \sin \theta)(1 - \sin \theta) = 1 - \sin^2 \theta$
Denominator: $(1 + \cos \theta)(1 - \cos \theta) = 1 - \cos^2 \theta$
Expression = $\frac{1 - \sin^2 \theta}{1 - \cos^2 \theta}$
Step 5: Substitute the values and calculate.
$1 - \sin^2 \theta = 1 - (\frac{8}{\sqrt{113}})^2 = 1 - \frac{64}{113} = \frac{113 - 64}{113} = \frac{49}{113}$
$1 - \cos^2 \theta = 1 - (\frac{7}{\sqrt{113}})^2 = 1 - \frac{49}{113} = \frac{113 - 49}{113} = \frac{64}{113}$
Expression = $\frac{49/113}{64/113} = \frac{49}{113} \times \frac{113}{64} = \frac{49}{64}$
Final Answer: \frac{49}{64}

Top Tutors who teach Introduction to Trigonometry
I am a teacher of Mathematics and Physics. I have been teaching since my college days. After completing my college I ran a coaching institute in my home town Nainital. During that time I got selected in Income Tax department through Staff Selection Commission. As teaching has always been my passion so I continued teaching students online. Currently, I give tuitions to CBSE/ICSE students of Class IX & X on one-on-one and batch bases. I prepare students for competitive Exams like SSC CGL, Banks, Railways etc. Since Mathematics and Science of IX & X standard play a significant role in cracking competitive exams. Every student no matter from what stream has to face that competition in future. Therefore, I prepare and polish student in a way which help them a lot in a future of competitive environment. Apart from this I also take classes for Vedic Maths and Fast calculating tricks.
Akshay is an excellent teacher. He has taught my son in 10 th standard science , with which he understood the concepts clearly and he also gave so many past question papers for my son to work out, all these made my son score 95 in board exams . I would definitely recommend Akshay for students who want to improve and get good scores in science .
im having good experince in teaching with make them understand the concepts better
Classes are much interactive so useful to assess the students understanding capacity during the class itself.
I am good at teaching Mathematics. I have been teaching Mathematics for CBSE, state and ICSE syllabi. I mentor students for IIT foundation as well as academic syllabus (based on student requirement). I follow a systematic teaching methodology to make students thorough at the subject. 1. Explanation of basic concepts 2. Correlating the concepts with applications 3. Practice exercises and explanation 4. Home work 5. Assessment at the end of each chapter/topic 6. Teaching files are accessible to download anytime for future reference as I conduct online classes. My objective is to make student strong at fundamentals & confident in solving any difficulty level problem from the subject.
Private teacher. Classes will be taken for science also but only for Physics and Chemistry. I have been teaching for Class 10 for the past 15 years. Focus will be given to each student regarding their difficult concepts. Previous year question papers will be discussed, along with practice worksheets that will be given for each chapter. Coaching will be given to score good marks in respective board exams by giving them tricks to manage the timings
