Exam questions on Trigonometric identities

  1. The angle θ\theta is obtuse and sin⁡θ=513\sin\theta=\frac{5}{13}.
    Find the exact value of sin⁡θcos⁡θ\sin\theta\cos\theta.2 marks
  2. For all values of xx for which each expression is defined, let A=cos⁡xtan⁡xA=\cos x\tan x and B=sin⁡xtan⁡xB=\frac{\sin x}{\tan x}.
    Show that A2+B2=1A^2+B^2=1.2 marks
