Prove that sin4A – cos4A = 1 – 2 cos2A.
Advertisements
उत्तर
L.H.S. = sin4A – cos4A
= (sin2A)2 – (cos2A)2
= (sin2A + cos2A)(sin2A – cos2A) ...[∵ a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b)]
= (1)(sin2A – cos2A) ...[∵ sin2A + cos2A = 1]
= sin2A – cos2A
= (1 – cos2A) – cos2A ...`[(∵ sin^2A + cos^2A = 1),(∴ 1 - cos^2A = sin^2A)]`
= 1 – 2 cos2A
= R.H.S.
∴ sin4A – cos4A = 1 – 2 cos2A
