Q12. TRUE. Justification: co-function identity — sin ( 90 ° − θ ) = cos θ \sin(90°-\theta)=\cos\theta sin ( 90° − θ ) = cos θ holds for all θ \theta θ . [2]
Q13. FALSE. Justification: sec x \sec x sec x is unbounded (has vertical asymptotes and values ∣ y ∣ ≥ 1 |y|\ge 1 ∣ y ∣ ≥ 1 ); amplitude is undefined. [2]
Q14. TRUE. Justification: half a full revolution; 180 ° = π 180° = \pi 180° = π rad by definition of radian measure. [2]
Q15. FALSE. Justification: quotient identity is tan θ = sin θ cos θ \tan\theta=\dfrac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta} tan θ = cos θ sin θ (the given ratio is cot θ \cot\theta cot θ ). [2]
Q16. TRUE. Justification: adding sin ( A + B ) \sin(A+B) sin ( A + B ) and sin ( A − B ) \sin(A-B) sin ( A − B ) the cos A sin B \cos A\sin B cos A sin B terms cancel, giving 2 sin A cos B 2\sin A\cos B 2 sin A cos B . [2]
Q17. TRUE. Justification: SSA data (two sides + non-included angle) may give 0, 1, or 2 valid triangles — the ambiguous case. [2]
