Question
Without using trigonometric identity , show that :
`sin(50^circ + θ) - cos(40^circ - θ) = 0`
Advertisements
Solution
`sin(50^circ + θ) - cos(40^circ - θ) = 0`
`sin(50^circ + θ) = cos[90^circ - (50^circ + θ)] = cos(40^circ - θ)`
`sin(50^circ + θ) - cos(40^circ - θ)`
= `cos(40^circ - θ) - cos(40^circ - θ)`
= 0
