- Reciprocal trigonometric ratio.
Solution
In this problem, the given expression needs to only contain .
The following is the given expression.
This is the required answer.
If 3 cot θ = 2, find the value of :
3 cot θ = 2 can be written as cot θ = 2/3 [reason : by cross multiplication]
Now, we know that according to the square relations :
- cosec² θ - cot² θ = 1
Putting the value of cot θ we get
- cosec² θ - (2/3)² = 1
- cosec² θ - 4/9 = 1
Transposing - 4/9 to the other side we get + 4/9
- cosec² θ = 1 + 4/9
- cosec² θ = 13/9
- cosec θ = √13/3
Now, we know that sin θ = 1/cosec θ
sin θ = 3/√13
Again, tan θ = 1/cot θ
tan θ = 3/2
Now using quotient relations we get
Putting the values of tan θ and sin θ we get
By cross multiplication we see
Therefore, cos θ = 2/√13
Now, according to the given condition which is :
Putting the values we get
According to the BODMAS RULE multiplication is followed first then addition is done
So, multiplication here then addition
So 1/3 is the answer
