Question
Evaluate the following
cos 60° cos 45° - sin 60° ∙ sin 45°
Advertisements
Solution
cos 60° cos 45° - sin 60° ∙ sin 45° …(i)
By trigonometric ratios we know that,
`cos 60^@ = 1/2 cos 45^@ = 1/sqrt2`
`sin 60^@ = sqrt3/2 sin 45^@ = 1/sqrt2`
By substituting above value in (i), we get
`1/2. 1/sqrt2 - sqrt3/2. 1/sqrt2 => (1 - sqrt3)/(2sqrt2)`

Prove that sec θ + tan θ = `cos θ/(1 - sin θ)`.
Proof: L.H.S. = sec θ + tan θ
= `1/square + square/square`
= `square/square` ......`(∵ sec θ = 1/square, tan θ = square/square)`
= `((1 + sin θ) square)/(cos θ square)` ......[Multiplying `square` with the numerator and denominator]
= `(1^2 - square)/(cos θ square)`
= `square/(cos θ square)`
= `cos θ/(1 - sin θ)` = R.H.S.
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ sec θ + tan θ = `cos θ/(1 - sin θ)`
