State whether the following are true or false. Justify your answer.
(i) The value of tan A is always less than 1.
(ii) $\sec A=\frac{12}{5}$ for some value of angle $\mathrm{A}$.
(iii) cos A is the abbreviation used for the cosecant of angle A.
(iv) cot A is the product of cot and A.
(v) $\sin \theta=\frac{4}{3}$ for some angle $\theta$.
(i) In $\tan A, \angle A$ is acute an angle
Therefore,
Minimum value of $\angle A$ is $0^{\circ}$ and
Maximum value of $\angle A$ is $90^{\circ}$
We know that $\tan 0^{\circ}=0$ and
$\tan 90^{\circ}=\infty$
Therefore the statement that;
"The value of $\tan A$ is always less than 1 " is false
(ii) $\sec A=\frac{1}{\cos A}$
In $\sec A$ and $\cos A, \angle A$ is acute angle
Therefore,
Minimum value of $\angle A$ is $0^{\circ}$ and
Maximum value of $\angle A$ is $90^{\circ}$
$\cos 90^{\circ}=0$
Now,
$\sec 0^{\circ}=\frac{1}{\cos 0^{\circ}}$
$=\frac{1}{1}$
$=1$
Therefore minimum value of $\sec A$ is $\sec 0^{\circ}=1$.....(1)
Now,
$\sec 90^{\circ}=\frac{1}{\cos 90^{\circ}}$
$=\frac{1}{0}$
$=\infty$
Therefore maximum value of $\sec A$ is $\sec 90^{\circ}=\infty$.....(2)
Now consider the given value
$\sec A=\frac{12}{5}$
Here, $\frac{12}{5}=2.4$
This value $2.4$ lies in between 1 and $\infty$
Now from equation (1) and $(2)$, we can say that the value $\frac{12}{5}=2.4$ lies in between minimum value of $\sec A$ (that is 1 ) and maximum value of sec $A$ (that is $\infty$ )
Hence, $\sec A=\frac{12}{5}$, for some value of angle $\mathrm{A}$ is true
(iii) Cosecant of angle $\mathrm{A}$ is defined as $\operatorname{cosec} A=\frac{1}{\sin A}$
Also, $\sin A$ is defined as $\sin A=\frac{\text { Perpendicular side opposite to } \angle A}{\text { Hypotenuse }}$
Therefore,
$\operatorname{cosec} A=\frac{\text { Hypotenuse }}{\text { Perpendicular side opposite to } \angle A}$.....(1)
And
$\cos A$ is defined as $\cos A=\frac{\text { Base side adjacent to } \angle A}{\text { Hypotenuse }}$......(2)
Therefore from equation (1) and (2), it is clear that $\cos A$ and $\operatorname{cosec} A$ (that is $\operatorname{cosecant}$ of angle A) are two different trigonometric angles
Hence, $\cos A$ is the abbreviation used for cosecant of angle $\mathrm{A}$ is False
(iv) cot A is a trigonometric ratio which means cotangent of angle A
Hence, $\cot A$ is the product of $\cot$ and $\mathrm{A}$ is False
(v) $\sin \theta=\frac{4}{3}$
The value $\frac{4}{3}=1.333$
In $\sin \theta, \angle \theta$ is acute an angle
Therefore,
Minimum value of $\angle \theta$ is $0^{\circ}$ and
Maximum value of $\angle \theta$ is $90^{\circ}$
We know that $\sin 0^{\circ}=0$ and
$\sin 90^{\circ}=1$
Therefore the value of $\sin \theta$ should lie between 0 and 1 and must not exceed 1
Hence the given value for $\sin \theta$ (that is $\frac{4}{3}=1.333$ ) is not possible
Therefore, $\sin \theta=\frac{4}{3}$, for some angle $\theta=$ False
