Solution
Given: θ = 30°
cos2θ = cos2 x 30° = cos60° = `(1)/(2)`
`(1 - tan^2 θ )/(1 + tan^2 θ )`
= `(1 - tan^2 30°)/(1 + tan^2 30°)`
= `(1 - (1/sqrt(3))^2)/(1 + (1/sqrt(3))^2)`
= `(1 - 1/3)/(1 + 1/3)`
= `(2/3)/(4/3)`
= `(1)/(2)`
cos4θ - sin4θ = cos430° - sin430°
= `(sqrt(3)/2)^4 - (sqrt(1)/2)^4`
= `(9)/(16) - (1)/(16)`
= `(8)/(16)`
= `(1)/(2)`
2cos2θ - 1 = 2cos230° - 1
= `2(sqrt(3)/2)^2 - 1`
= `2 xx (3)/(4) - 1`
= `(3)/(2) - 1`
= `(1)/(2)`
1 - 2sin2θ = 1 - 2sin230°
= `1 - 2(1/2)^2`
= `1 - 2 xx (1)/(4)`
= `1 - (1)/(2)`
= `(1)/(2)`
⇒ cos2θ
= `(1 - tan^2 θ)/(1 + tan^2 θ)`
= cos4θ - sin4θ
= 2cos2θ - 1
= 1 - 2sin2θ .
