Ex 8.1, 11 State whether the following are true or false. Justify your answer. (i) The value of tan A is always less than 1. tan A = (π πππ πππππ ππ‘π π΄ )/(π πππ ππππππππ‘ π΄) = π©πͺ/π¨π© Assuming BC >π¨π© Example: Let AB = 10 cm and BC = 15 cm Hence, tan A = π΅πΆ/π΄π΅ = 15/10 = 1.5 Therefore, tan A = 1.5 > 1 Hence tan A can be greater than 1 So, answer is false. Ex 8.1, 11 State whether the following are true or false. Justify your answer. (ii) sec A = 12/5 for some value of angle A. This statement is True As value of sec A > 1 Explanation sec A = π/ππ¨π¬β‘π¨ = 1/((ππππ ππππππππ‘ π‘π β π΄ )/π»π¦πππ‘πππ’π π) = π―πππππππππ/(πΊππ π ππ ππππππ ππ β π¨) As Hypotenuse will be the largest side, β΄ sec A > 1 As Hypotenuse will be the largest side, β΄ sec A > 1 Ex 8.1, 11 State whether the following are true or false. Justify your answer. (iii) cos A is the abbreviation used for the cosecant of angle A. This statement is False Because cos A means cosine of angle A cosec A means cosecant of angle A Ex 8.1, 11 State whether the following are true or false. Justify your answer. (iv) cot A is the product of cot and A. This statement is False Because cot A = 1/tanβ‘γ π΄γ =(πππ π ππ ππππππ π¨ )/(πππ π ππππππππ π¨) cot A is a single term and cot without A does not have any meaning Ex 8.1, 11 State whether the following are true or false. Justify your answer. (v) sin ΞΈ = 4/3 for some angle ΞΈ. sin ΞΈ = (πππ π ππππππππ π½)/π―πππππππππ Since hypotenuse is largest side, denominator will be always more than numerator . Hence, sin ΞΈ will always be always be less than 1 Thus, sin ΞΈ = 4/3 is false
