Question

cos (36° - A) cos (36° + A) + cos(54° + A) cos (54° - A) = ?

Options

  • cos A

  • cos 2A

  • sin A

  • sin 2A

MCQ

Solution

cos 2A

Explanation:

We have,

cos(36°- A)cos(36°+ A) + cos(54°+ A) cos (54°- A)

We know that,

cos(A + B) cos(A - B) = cos2 A - sin2 B

∴ cos (36°- A)cos(36°+ A) + cos(54°+ A) cos(54°- A)

= cos2 36° - sin2 A + cos2 54° - sin2 A

= cos2 36° + cos2 54° - 2 sin2 A

= cos2 36° + sin2 36° - 2 sin2 A [∵ cos 54° = sin 36°]

= 1 - 2 sin2 A

= cos 2A
