Question below

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

\[\frac{ \cos A - 2 \cos^3A }{ 2\sin^3A - sinA }\]

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

Prove the above identity.

Parth (parthkohli):

So you have to prove that this is \(\cot A\), right?

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

yes.

Parth (parthkohli):

OK, not bad.\[\frac{\cos A (1 - 2 \cos ^2 A)}{\sin A (2 \sin^2 A - 1 )}\]\[= \frac{\cos A}{\sin A} \times \frac{1-2\cos^2 A}{2 \sin^2 A - 1}\]\[= \cot A \times \frac{1 - 2 \cos ^2 A}{2 \sin^2 A - 1}\]It is very easy to prove that the fraction is 1.

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

Im stuck at the last step..

Parth (parthkohli):

Hint: write \(\cos^2 A\) in terms of \(\sin^2 A\) through an identity.

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

take cos n sin common na

Parth (parthkohli):

Wo toh le liye. Aur kya common lega?

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

arre u read my q wrong its raise to 3 not 2

Parth (parthkohli):

\[= \cot A \times\boxed{ \frac{1 - 2 \cos ^2 A}{2 \sin^2 A - 1}} \]

Parth (parthkohli):

No I haven't read it wrong. Read my answer carefully.

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

its 2 cos^3 A n 2 sin^3 A

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

firse explain kar

Parth (parthkohli):

Can you write the expression like this?\[\frac{\cos A (1 - 2 \cos ^2 A)}{\sin A (2 \sin^2 A - 1 )}\]

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

yes

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

OH I GET IT

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

But the remaing part is >_>

Parth (parthkohli):

So have you got it till\[\cot A \times \frac{1 - 2\cos^2 A}{2\sin^2 A - 1}\]

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

yep .now im stuck

Parth (parthkohli):

Good, now if you compare \[\cot A \times \frac{1 - 2 \cos^2 A}{2 \sin^2 A - 1}\]with the RHS \(\cot A\), you will get a hint that\[\frac{1 - 2 \cos^2 A}{2 \sin^2 A - 1}=1\]But how can you prove that?

Parth (parthkohli):

In 10th, you are only supposed to know three simple identities and one of those involves \(\cos^2 \theta\) and \(\sin^2 \theta\).

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

cos ^2 A + sin^2 A is 1

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes, correct. Now use that identity in this form:\[\cos^2 A = 1 -\sin ^2 A\]Replace \(\cos^2 A\) in your expression with \(1 - \sin^2 A\).

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

\[1- 2(1 - \sin^2 A)\]

Parth (parthkohli):

Simplify that further and ...

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

how to... ?

Parth (parthkohli):

Just open the brackets etc.

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

1 - 2 - 2sin^A

Parth (parthkohli):

That's a little wrong.

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

whats wrong..?

Parth (parthkohli):

\[1 - 2 \color{red}+ 2 \sin^2 A \]

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

okay! what next..?

Parth (parthkohli):

\[= \cot A \frac{2\sin^2 A - 1}{2\sin^2 A - 1}\]

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

Thanks man..!! I have 3 more ques...

Parth (parthkohli):

Please try them on your own.

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

They are not trig.. n tried these first my ans not matching

Parth (parthkohli):

Achcha.
