Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Which of these is the identity of Sin 2x?

    • A.

      Cos^2 x + Sin^2 x

    • B.

      2SinxCosx

    • C.

      SinxCosx + CosxSin x

    • D.

      Sin^2 x

    • E.

      Sin x + Sinx

    Correct Answer
    B. 2SinxCosx
    Explanation
    Sin 2x = Sin ( x + y )
    = Sin ( x + x )
    = SinxCosx + CosxSinx
    = 2SinxCosx

    Rate this question:

  • 2. 

    Is Sec2x =                1               an identity?                 ( 1 - Sinx )( 1 + Sinx)  

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    • C.

      Maybe

    • D.

      It depends

    Correct Answer
    A. True
  • 3. 

    True or false, Tanx   +          TanySecx         =  Tan ( x + y ) ?                                    Cosx + TanySinx

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    • C.

      Maybe

    • D.

      It depends

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The given equation is "Tanx + TanySecx = Tan(x + y)". However, the correct equation should be "Tanx + TanySecx = Tan(x + y) + Cosx + TanySinx". Therefore, the answer is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Is Sin^2 x + Sin^2 ( x + y ) + 2SinxCosxSin ( x + y ) = Sin^2 y ?

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    • C.

      Maybe

    • D.

      It depends

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given equation is true. This can be proven by using the trigonometric identity: Sin^2(x) + Cos^2(x) = 1. By substituting Sin^2(x) with (1 - Cos^2(x)) in the equation, we can simplify it to: (1 - Cos^2(x)) + Sin^2(x + y) + 2Sin(x)Cos(x)Sin(x + y) = Sin^2(y). Simplifying further, we get: 1 + Sin^2(x + y) + 2Sin(x)Cos(x)Sin(x + y) = Sin^2(y). Since 1 + Sin^2(x + y) is equal to Sin^2(y) according to the trigonometric identity, the equation is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    What is ( Sinx + Cosy )^2 ?

    • A.

      Sin^2x + Cos^2x

    • B.

      1

    • C.

      2SinxCosy

    • D.

      SinxCosy + CosxSiny

    • E.

      Sin^2x + 2SinxCosy + Cos^2y

    Correct Answer
    E. Sin^2x + 2SinxCosy + Cos^2y
    Explanation
    The given expression is (Sin x + Cos y)^2. When we expand this expression, we get Sin^2 x + 2Sin x Cos y + Cos^2 y. Therefore, the correct answer is Sin^2 x + 2Sin x Cos y + Cos^2 y.

    Rate this question:

  • 6.

    • A.

      1

    • B.

      Sinx + Cosx

    • C.

      Cos^2 xSin^2 x

    • D.

      2

    • E.

      ______1________ SecxCscx

    Correct Answer
    B. Sinx + Cosx
    Explanation
    The given expression is Sinx + Cosx. This is the correct answer because it matches with the expression provided in the question.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Is 2Sec^2 xCos^2 x = 2 an identity?

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    • C.

      Maybe

    • D.

      It depends

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given expression, 2Sec^2 xCos^2 x, simplifies to 2, which is a constant value regardless of the value of x. Therefore, the expression is an identity, meaning it holds true for all values of x.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which of the following is not an identity with Cos2x?

    • A.

      1 - Sin^2 x

    • B.

      2Cosx - 1

    • C.

      Cos^2 x - Sin^2 x

    • D.

      1 - 2Sin^2 x

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 - Sin^2 x
    Explanation
    The given expression is 1 - Sin^2 x. This can be simplified using the identity Cos^2 x = 1 - Sin^2 x. By substituting this identity into the expression, we get 1 - Sin^2 x = Cos^2 x, which is an identity with Cos2x. Therefore, the correct answer is 1 - Sin^2 x, as it is not an identity with Cos2x.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Is Sinx + Cosx  = 1 an identity?

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    • C.

      Maybe

    • D.

      it depends

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The equation Sinx + Cosx = 1 is not an identity because it is not true for all values of x. There are certain values of x for which the equation holds true, but there are also values for which it does not hold true. Therefore, it cannot be considered an identity.
