Q1:
Express the trigonometric ratios $\sin A$, $\sec A$ and $\tan A$ in terms of $\cot A$.
Solution :
Given: The trigonometric ratios $\sin A$, $\sec A$, and $\tan A$.
To Find: Express $\sin A$, $\sec A$, and $\tan A$ in terms of $\cot A$.
Step 1: Expressing $\tan A$ in terms of $\cot A$
By the definition of reciprocal trigonometric identities, we know that the tangent ratio is the reciprocal of the cotangent ratio.
Formula: $\tan A = \frac{1}{\cot A}$
Thus, $\tan A = \frac{1}{\cot A}$.
Step 2: Expressing $\sin A$ in terms of $\cot A$
We use the trigonometric identity relating $\csc A$ and $\cot A$: $1 + \cot^2 A = \csc^2 A$.
Taking the square root on both sides: $\csc A = \sqrt{1 + \cot^2 A}$.
Since $\sin A = \frac{1}{\csc A}$ [Reciprocal identity], we substitute the expression for $\csc A$:
$\sin A = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + \cot^2 A}}$
Step 3: Expressing $\sec A$ in terms of $\cot A$
We use the trigonometric identity relating $\sec A$ and $\tan A$: $1 + \tan^2 A = \sec^2 A$.
Substitute the expression for $\tan A$ found in Step 1 ($\tan A = \frac{1}{\cot A}$):
$\sec^2 A = 1 + \left(\frac{1}{\cot A}\right)^2$
$\sec^2 A = 1 + \frac{1}{\cot^2 A}$
Find a common denominator:
$\sec^2 A = \frac{\cot^2 A + 1}{\cot^2 A}$
Taking the square root on both sides:
$\sec A = \sqrt{\frac{\cot^2 A + 1}{\cot^2 A}}$
$\sec A = \frac{\sqrt{1 + \cot^2 A}}{\cot A}$
Final Answer:
$\sin A = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + \cot^2 A}}$
$\sec A = \frac{\sqrt{1 + \cot^2 A}}{\cot A}$
$\tan A = \frac{1}{\cot A}$
