    We are given the equation:
    sin θ + sin² θ = 1.

    We need to find the value of cos² θ + cos⁴ θ.

    Step 1: Express sin² θ in terms of sin θ
    Rearrange the given equation:
    sin² θ = 1 – sin θ.

    Step 2: Use the Pythagorean identity
    From the Pythagorean identity, we know:
    sin² θ + cos² θ = 1.

    Substitute sin² θ = 1 – sin θ into the identity:
    (1 – sin θ) + cos² θ = 1.

    Simplify:
    cos² θ = sin θ.

    Step 3: Express cos⁴ θ in terms of cos² θ
    Since cos² θ = sin θ, we can write:
    cos⁴ θ = (cos² θ)² = (sin θ)² = sin² θ.

    Step 4: Substitute into cos² θ + cos⁴ θ
    Now substitute cos² θ = sin θ and cos⁴ θ = sin² θ into the expression cos² θ + cos⁴ θ:
    cos² θ + cos⁴ θ = sin θ + sin² θ.

    From the given equation, we know:
    sin θ + sin² θ = 1.

    Thus:
    cos² θ + cos⁴ θ = 1.

  2. We are given the equations: a cotθ + b cosecθ = p — (1) b cotθ + a cosecθ = q — (2) We need to find the value of p² - q². Step 1: Recall the identity for p² - q² The difference of squares formula states: p² - q² = (p + q)(p - q). Thus, we first calculate p + q and p - q. Step 2: Add equations (1) anRead more

    We are given the equations:
    a cotθ + b cosecθ = p — (1)
    b cotθ + a cosecθ = q — (2)

    We need to find the value of p² – q².

    Step 1: Recall the identity for p² – q²
    The difference of squares formula states:
    p² – q² = (p + q)(p – q).

    Thus, we first calculate p + q and p – q.

    Step 2: Add equations (1) and (2)
    Add the two equations:
    (a cotθ + b cosecθ) + (b cotθ + a cosecθ) = p + q.

    Simplify:
    (a + b)cotθ + (a + b)cosecθ = p + q.

    Factor out (a + b):
    (a + b)(cotθ + cosecθ) = p + q. — (3)

    Step 3: Subtract equation (2) from (1)
    Subtract equation (2) from equation (1):
    (a cotθ + b cosecθ) – (b cotθ + a cosecθ) = p – q.

    Simplify:
    (a – b)cotθ + (b – a)cosecθ = p – q.

    Factor out (a – b):
    (a – b)(cotθ – cosecθ) = p – q. — (4)

    Step 4: Substitute into p² – q²
    Using the identity p² – q² = (p + q)(p – q), substitute the expressions for p + q and p – q from equations (3) and (4):
    p² – q² = [(a + b)(cotθ + cosecθ)] × [(a – b)(cotθ – cosecθ)].

    Simplify:
    p² – q² = (a + b)(a – b) × (cotθ + cosecθ)(cotθ – cosecθ).

    Step 5: Simplify further using the difference of squares
    The term (cotθ + cosecθ)(cotθ – cosecθ) is a difference of squares:
    (cotθ + cosecθ)(cotθ – cosecθ) = cot²θ – cosec²θ.

    From the trigonometric identity:
    cosec²θ – cot²θ = 1,
    we can write:
    cot²θ – cosec²θ = -1.

    Substitute this into the expression for p² – q²:
    p² – q² = (a + b)(a – b) × (-1).

    Simplify:
    p² – q² = -(a + b)(a – b).

    Expand (a + b)(a – b) using the difference of squares:
    (a + b)(a – b) = a² – b².

    Thus:
    p² – q² = -(a² – b²).

  3. We are given the equation: x tan 45° cos 60° = sin 60° cot 60°. Step 1: Substitute the trigonometric values Using standard trigonometric values: - tan 45° = 1, - cos 60° = 1/2, - sin 60° = √3/2, - cot 60° = 1/√3. Substitute these values into the equation: x (1) (1/2) = (√3/2) (1/√3). Step 2: SimplifRead more

    We are given the equation:
    x tan 45° cos 60° = sin 60° cot 60°.

    Step 1: Substitute the trigonometric values
    Using standard trigonometric values:
    – tan 45° = 1,
    – cos 60° = 1/2,
    – sin 60° = √3/2,
    – cot 60° = 1/√3.

    Substitute these values into the equation:

    x (1) (1/2) = (√3/2) (1/√3).

    Step 2: Simplify both sides
    Simplify the left-hand side:
    x (1/2) = x/2.

    Simplify the right-hand side:
    (√3/2) (1/√3) = (√3 / √3) / 2 = 1/2.

    Thus, the equation becomes:
    x/2 = 1/2.

    Step 3: Solve for x
    Multiply through by 2 to isolate x:
    x = 1.

    Step 4: Final Answer
    The value of x is 1.

    The correct answer is:
    a) 1

  4. We are given: 8 tan x = 15. Step 1: Solve for tan x Rearrange the equation to solve for tan x: tan x = 15/8.

    We are given:
    8 tan x = 15.

    Step 1: Solve for tan x
    Rearrange the equation to solve for tan x:
    tan x = 15/8.
    Step 2: Express sin x and cos x in terms of tan x
    Using the identity tan x = sin x / cos x, we can write:
    sin x = 15k and cos x = 8k,
    where k is a positive constant such that sin²x + cos²x = 1 (Pythagorean identity).

    Substitute sin x = 15k and cos x = 8k into the identity:
    (15k)² + (8k)² = 1
    225k² + 64k² = 1
    289k² = 1
    k² = 1/289
    k = √(1/289)
    k = 1/17.

    Thus:
    sin x = 15k = 15/17,
    cos x = 8k = 8/17.

    Step 3: Find sin x – cos x
    Now, calculate sin x – cos x:
    sin x – cos x = (15/17) – (8/17)
    = (15 – 8)/17
    = 7/17.

    Step 4: Final Answer
    The value of sin x – cos x is 7/17.

    The correct answer is:
    d) 7/17

    Finding the Distance of a Point from the x-Axis
    We are given a point P(2,3) and need to find its distance from the x-axis.
    Step 1: Understanding Distance from the x-Axis
    The x-axis is the horizontal axis in the Cartesian plane.
    The distance of any point (x, y) from the x-axis is simply the absolute value of its y-coordinate.
    This is because the x-axis is located at y=0, and the vertical distance from any point to this axis is determined by how far its y-value is from zero.
    Step 2: Applying the Formula
    For a point (x,y), the distance from the x-axis is given by:
    Distance = |y|
    For point P(2, 3), we substitute y = 3:
    Distance = |3| = 3
    Step 3: Final Answer
     Thus, the distance of point P(2,3) from the x-axis is 3.
    Correct Option: (b) 3
