Practice Questions on Trigonometry

1. Evaluate the following without using a calculator:


i. 2 sin 30˚ + 3 cos 60˚ – 3 tan 45˚ [ANS: – 0.5]
ii. 3(cos 30˚)2 + 2 (sin 30˚)2 [ANS: 2.75]
iii. Sin 45o tan 45o + tan 30o sin 60o [ANS: 1]
√ √
iv. Cos 30o sin 45o + sin 30o tan 30o [ANS: ]
2. Prove the following identities

i. Sin x cot x ≡ cos x


ii. (1 + tan2 x) cos2 x ≡ 1
iii. (1 + tan2 x)(1 – sin2 x) ≡ 1
iv. Sec x – cos x ≡ sin x tan x
v. Cos2 x – sin2 x ≡ 1 – 2 sin2 x
vi. (Cosec x – cot x)2 ≡
vii. Sec4 x- sec2 x ≡ tan2 x + tan4 x
viii. Sec x + tan x ≡
ix. ≡ tan2x

3. Solve the following trigonometric equations angles 0o ≤ ϴ ≤ 360o


i. cos 2ϴ = 0.8
ii. sin (ϴ – 90o) = 0.75
iii. 3 tan2 ϴ = 1
iv. 3 sin ϴ – 4 cos ϴ = 0
v. sin ϴ + 2 cos ϴ = 0
vi. 3 sin ϴ + cos ϴ = 0
vii. tan2 ϴ – 3 tan ϴ + 2 = 0
viii. 6 cos2 ϴ + sin ϴ = 5
ix. 2 sin2 ϴ + 5 cos ϴ + 1= 0
x. Sec2 ϴ = 3 – tan ϴ

4. Using a pencil draw the graph of the function y = cos x for 0o ≤ x ≤ 360o or radian equivalent

On the same graph paper but different graph draw and label the graph of

i. y1 = cos 2x

ii. y2 = cos ( )

iii. y3 = |cos x|

The end
