Question
Find x , if `cos(2x - 6) = cos^2 30^circ - cos^2 60^circ`
Advertisements
Solution
`cos(2x - 6) = cos^2 30^circ - cos^2 60^circ`
⇒ `cos(2x - 6) = cos^2 (90^circ - 60^circ) - cos^2 60^circ`
⇒ `cos(2x - 6) = sin^2 60^circ - cos^2 60^circ`
⇒ `cos(2x - 6) = 1 - 2cos^2 60^circ = 1 - 2(1/2)^2 = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2`
⇒ `cos(2x - 6) = 1/2`
⇒ `cos(2x - 6) = cos60^circ`
⇒ `(2x - 6) = 60^circ`
⇒ `2x = 66^circ`
⇒ `x = 33^circ`

Activity: L.H.S. = cotθ + tanθ
= `cosθ/sinθ + square/cosθ`
= `(square + sin^2theta)/(sinθ xx cosθ)`
= `1/(sinθ xx cosθ)` ....... ∵ `square`
= `1/sinθ xx 1/cosθ`
= `square xx secθ`
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
