52. L.H.S. = 2 cos cos + cos + cos =∂ .
= 2 cos cos + 2 cos cos
= 2 cos cos + 2. cos cos
= 2 cos cos + 2 cos cos [ cos (x) = cosx].
= 2 cos
= 2 cos
= 2 cos
= 2 cos * 2 *cos * cos .
= 2 cos 2* 0*cos
= 0
= R.H.S.

51. We have,
sinx + sin 3x + sin 5x = 0.
(sinx + sin 5x) + sin 3x = 0.
Using sin A + sin B = 2 sin cos .
2 sin cos + sin 3x = 0.
2 sin cos + sin 3x = 0.
2 sin 3xcos (-2x) + sin 3x = 0.
sin 3x [2 cos 2x + 1] = 0 [ cos (-x) = cosx].
sin 3x = 0 or 2 cos 2x + 1 = 0.
3x = nπ, n∈z. or cos 2x = = -cos = cos π -= cos
x= , n∈z or 2x = 2nπ± .
x = nπ± , n∈z.

50. We have,
sec2 2x = 1 tan 2x
1 + tan2 2x = 1 tan 2x [ sec2x = 1 + tan2x]
tan2 2x + tan 2x = 0.
tan 2x (tan 2x + 1) = 0.
tan 2x = 0 or tan 2x + 1 = 0.
2x = nπ, x∈z or tan 2x = -1 = -tan = tan π- = tan
x= , n∈z or 2x = nπ + , n∈z.
x = n∈z

49. We have,
sin 2x + cosx = 0.
2 sin cosx + cosx = 0 ( sin 2x = 2 sin xcosx)
cosx (2 sin x + 1) = 0.
cosx = 0 or 2 sinx + 1 = 0.
x = (2n + 1) , n∈z or sin x = = -sin = sin π + = sin
x = (2n + 1) , x∈z or x= nπ + (-1)n n∈z.

48. We have,
cos 3x + cosx-cos 2x = 0.
(cos 3x + cosx) cos 2x = 0
Using cos A + cos B = 2 cos cos
2 cos cos - cos 2x = 0.
2 cos cos - cos 2x = 0
2 cos 2xcosx - cos 2x = 0
cos 2x. (2 cosx - 1) = 0.
cos 2x = 0 or 2 cosx -1 = 0.
2x = (2n + 1) , n∈z or cosx = = cos
x = (2n + 1) , n∈z or x = 2nx± , n∈z.

47. We have,
cos 4x = cos 2x.
⇒ cos 4x-cos 2x = 0.

⇒ -2 sin sin = 0.
⇒sin sin = 0
⇒sin 3x sin x = 0.
∴sin 3x = 0 or sin x = 0
3x = nπ or x = nπ, n∈z,
⇒x = or x = nπ, n∈z

46. We have cosec x = 2 .i e, cosec x = (-)ve,
So, the principal solution lies in IIInd and IVth quadrent.
Now, cosec x = -2 = -cosec = cosec = cosec
So the principal solution are x = and
= and
= and
As cosec x = cosec ⇒sin x = sin
The general solution has the form,
x = nπ + (-1)n , n∈z.

45. We have, cot x = -√3 i.e., cot x is negative
So, the principal solution lies in IInd and IVth quadrant.

So the principal solution are a = and
= and
= and
As cot x = cot tan x = tan
The general solution has the form.
x = n+ , nz

43. tanx = √3
We have, tan x = √3
Since tan x is (+) ve the principal solution lies in Ist and IIInd quadrant
Now, tan x = √3 = tan . = tan
Principal solution are x = and
= and
= and .
As tan x = tan
The general solution is.
x = np + , n∈z

42. L.H.S. = cos 6x
= cos 3 (2x)
= 4 cos32x – 3 cos 2x [Q cos 3A = 4 cos3A – 3cos A]
= 4 [ (2 cos2x – 1)3] – 3 [ (2 cos2x – 1)] [Q cos 2x = 2 cos2x – 1]
= 4 [ (2 cos2x)3 + 3 [ (2 cos2x)2 (–1) + 3 (2 cos2x) (–1)2 + (–1)3] – 3 (2 cos2x) + 3
{Q (a + b)3= a3 + b3 + 3a2b + 3ab2}
= 4 [8 cos6x – 12 cos4x + 6cos2x – 1] – 6 cos2x + 3.
= 32 cos6x – 48 cos4x + 24 cos2x – 4 – 6cos2x + 3
= 32 cos6x – 48 cos4
