Question
Without using trigonometric identity , show that :
`cos^2 25^circ + cos^2 65^circ = 1`
Advertisements
Solution
Consider `cos^2 25^circ + cos^2 65^circ`
⇒ `cos^2(90^circ - 65^circ) + cos^2 65^circ`
⇒ `sin^2 65^circ + cos^2 65^circ = 1`

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