Prove that: \[\frac{\cos3A-cosA}{\sin3A-sinA}+\frac{\cos2A-\cos4A}{\sin4A-\sin2A}=\frac{sinA}{\cos2Acos3A}\]

namaste aunty :|

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

formulae of cosa-cob and sina - sinb should help you.

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

aunty ji ? there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................^infinity...... count d no of dots......... just joking

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

glad to help. (not joking)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL

OpenStudy (loser66):

\[\frac{\cos3A-cosA}{\sin3A-sinA}+\frac{\cos2A-\cos4A}{\sin4A-\sin2A}=\frac{sinA}{\cos2Acos3A}\] Mark numerator of the first term is (1) , denominator of the first term is (2) , numerator of the second term is (3) , denominator of the second term is (4) . Now, I calculate them, one by one, and then combine later.

OpenStudy (loser66):

\[(1)= cos 3A -cos A = 2sin\frac{3A+A}{2}sin{\frac{A-3A}{2}}\\=2sin 2A sin (-A)\\=-2sin 2Asin A\] because sin (-A)= -sin A

OpenStudy (loser66):

\[(2)=sin 3A - sin A\\=2sin{\frac{3A-A}{2}}cos\frac{3A+A}{2}\\=2sin Acos2A\]

OpenStudy (loser66):

\[\frac{(1)}{(2)}=\frac{-2sin2AsinA}{2sinAcos2A}\\=\frac{-sin2A}{cos2A}\]mark it as (5)

OpenStudy (loser66):

\[(3)=cos2A-cos4A=2sin{\frac{2A+4A}{2}}sin\frac{4A-2A}{2}\\=2sin3AsinA\]

OpenStudy (loser66):

\[(4)=sin4A-sin2A= 2sin{\frac{4A-2A}{2}}cos\frac{4A+2A}{2}\\=2sinAcos3A\]

OpenStudy (loser66):

\[\frac{(3)}{(4)}=\frac{2sin3AsinA}{2sinAcos3A}\\=\frac{sin3A}{cos3A}\]mark it as (6)

OpenStudy (loser66):

(5)+(6) I rearrange the order: \[\frac{sin3A}{cos3A}-\frac{sin2A}{cos2A}\] \[=\frac{sin3Acos2A- sin2Acos3A}{cos2Acos3A}\] the numerator is the form of sin (a -b) = sina cosb -sinb cos a with a = 3A and b = 2A therefore, it is = sin (3A-2A)= sin A BINGO, now combine you have \[\frac{sinA}{cos2Acos3A}\] it's the RHS, right? hehehee.... fiiiiiiiiinaaaaaaallllyyyy
