Question below
\[\frac{ \cos A - 2 \cos^3A }{ 2\sin^3A - sinA }\]
Prove the above identity.
So you have to prove that this is \(\cot A\), right?
yes.
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.
Im stuck at the last step..
Hint: write \(\cos^2 A\) in terms of \(\sin^2 A\) through an identity.
take cos n sin common na
Wo toh le liye. Aur kya common lega?
arre u read my q wrong its raise to 3 not 2
\[= \cot A \times\boxed{ \frac{1 - 2 \cos ^2 A}{2 \sin^2 A - 1}} \]
No I haven't read it wrong. Read my answer carefully.
its 2 cos^3 A n 2 sin^3 A
firse explain kar
Can you write the expression like this?\[\frac{\cos A (1 - 2 \cos ^2 A)}{\sin A (2 \sin^2 A - 1 )}\]
yes
OH I GET IT
But the remaing part is >_>
So have you got it till\[\cot A \times \frac{1 - 2\cos^2 A}{2\sin^2 A - 1}\]
yep .now im stuck
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?
In 10th, you are only supposed to know three simple identities and one of those involves \(\cos^2 \theta\) and \(\sin^2 \theta\).
cos ^2 A + sin^2 A is 1
Yes, correct. Now use that identity in this form:\[\cos^2 A = 1 -\sin ^2 A\]Replace \(\cos^2 A\) in your expression with \(1 - \sin^2 A\).
\[1- 2(1 - \sin^2 A)\]
Simplify that further and ...
how to... ?
Just open the brackets etc.
1 - 2 - 2sin^A
That's a little wrong.
whats wrong..?
\[1 - 2 \color{red}+ 2 \sin^2 A \]
okay! what next..?
\[= \cot A \frac{2\sin^2 A - 1}{2\sin^2 A - 1}\]
Thanks man..!! I have 3 more ques...
Please try them on your own.
They are not trig.. n tried these first my ans not matching
Achcha.
