Exercise Topic Map

Exercise 3.1π rad=180°; arc=rθ; area=½r²θ; convert angles
Exercise 3.2Standard values 0°–90°; ASTC; allied angles 90°±θ etc.
Exercise 3.325 identity proofs using compound/double/half/sum-product
MiscellaneousMulti-step identity chains; range analysis; combined problems

Key Formulae

\(\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta = 1\)
\(\sin(A \pm B) = \sin A\cos B \pm \cos A\sin B\)
\(\cos 2A = 1 - 2\sin^2 A\)
\(\sin C + \sin D = 2\sin\!\tfrac{C+D}{2}\cos\!\tfrac{C-D}{2}\)
\(\sin\theta = \sin\alpha \Rightarrow \theta = n\pi + (-1)^n\alpha\)

NCERT Solving Method

Step 1 — Ex 3.3 proofs: work on ONE side only; reduce to sin and cos. Step 2 — Never work both sides simultaneously. Step 3 — Ex 3.4 equations: isolate the trig ratio first, then apply the general solution formula. Step 4 — Check specific solutions: substitute n=0,±1,±2 and verify the interval condition.
