If sinα + cosecα = tan (\(\frac{\pi}{3}\))
Find the value of (sin3α + cosec3α)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Formula I → [sinα = \(\frac{1}{cosecα}\)]
Formula II → [If x + \(\frac{1}{x}\) = y and x3 + \(\frac{1}{x^3}\) = y3 - 3y]
So,
⇒sinα + \(\frac{1}{sinα}\) = tan \(\frac{180°}{3}\) = tan60°
⇒ sinα + \(\frac{1}{sinα}\) = \(\sqrt {3}\)
Cubing both sides,
⇒ sin3α + \(\frac{1}{sin^3α}\) = (\(\sqrt {3}\))3 - 3\(\sqrt {3}\)
⇒ sin3α + cosec3α = 0
