प्रश्न
If 4 cos2 A – 3 = 0, show that: cos 3 A = 4 cos3 A – 3 cos A

उत्तर
4 cos2 A – 3 = 0
`=>` 4 cos2 A = 3
`=> cos^2A = 3/4`
`=> cosA = sqrt3/2`
We know cos 30° `= sqrt(3)/2`
So, A = 30°
L.H.S. = cos3 A = cos 90° = 0
R.H.S. = 4 cos3 A – 3 cos A
= 4 cos3 30° – 3 cos 30°
= `4(sqrt3/2)^3 - 3(sqrt3/2)`
= `(3sqrt3)/2 - (3sqrt3)/2`
= 0
L.H.S. = R.H.S.

L.H.S = `square`
= `square (1 - (sin^2theta)/(tan^2theta))`
= `tan^2theta (1 - square/((sin^2theta)/(cos^2theta)))`
= `tan^2theta (1 - (sin^2theta)/1 xx (cos^2theta)/square)`
= `tan^2theta (1 - square)`
= `tan^2theta xx square` .....[1 – cos2θ = sin2θ]

Find the value of sin2θ + cos2θ

Solution:
In Δ ABC, ∠ABC = 90°, ∠C = θ°
AB2 + BC2 = `square` .....(Pythagoras theorem)
Divide both sides by AC2
`"AB"^2/"AC"^2 + "BC"^2/"AC"^2 = "AC"^2/"AC"^2`
∴ `("AB"^2/"AC"^2) + ("BC"^2/"AC"^2) = 1`
But `"AB"/"AC" = square and "BC"/"AC" = square`
∴ `sin^2 theta + cos^2 theta = square`
