Explanation:

Explanation:

25 cos²θ + 5 cos θ – 12 = 0
∴ (5cos θ + 4) (5 cos θ – 3) = 0
∴ cos θ = or cos θ =
Since < α < π,
cos α < 0
∴ cos α =
sin²α = 1 – cos²α = 1 –
∴ sin α =
Since < α < π sin α > 0
∴ sin α = 3/5

Explanation:
cosec θ + cot θ = …………….(i)
cosec²θ – cot²θ = 1
∴ (cosec θ + cot θ) (cosec θ – cot θ) = 1
∴ (cosec θ – cot θ) = 1
∴ cosec θ – cot θ = …(ii)
Subtracting (ii) from (i), we get
2 cot θ =
∴ cot θ =
∴ tan θ =

Explanation:

Explanation:

cosec θ – cot θ = q ……(i)
cosec²θ – cot²θ = 1
∴ (cosec θ + cot θ) (cosec θ – cot θ) = 1
∴ (cosec θ + cot θ)q = 1
∴ cosec θ + cot θ = 1/q …….(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get
2cot θ =
∴ cot θ =

Explanation:

tan1° tan2° tan3° … tan89°
= (tan 1° tan 89°) (tan 2° tan 88°)
…(tan 44° tan 46°) tan 45°
= (tan 1 ° cot 1 °) (tan 2° cot 2°)
…(tan 44° cot 44°). tan 45°
…tan(∵ 90° – θ) = cot θ]
= 1 x 1 x 1 x … x 1 x tan 45° =1
