Competition practiceTrigonometry
  • A2
  • B0
  • C−4
  • D−2

Step-by-Step Solution

Each fraction pairs complementary angles: sin20° = cos70° and sin31° = cos59°, so both fractions equal 1. Also 8sin30° = . The value is 1 + 1 − 4 = −2.

In a right triangle the two acute angles are in the ratio 2 : 1. The sine of the larger…If x = cosecθ + cotθ, then (x² − 1)/(x² + 1) equals:If tan(A + B) = √3 and tan(A − B) = 1/√3, where 0° < A + B ≤ 90° and A > B, then:The product (1 + cotθ − cosecθ)(1 + tanθ + secθ) simplifies to:If sinθ = 1/3, then the value of sin3θ is:
