Question

If a cos θ – b sin θ = c, then prove that (a sin θ + b cos θ) = `±  sqrt("a"^2 + "b"^2 -"c"^2)`

Sum

Solution

Given a cos θ – b sin θ = c

Squaring on both sides

(a cos θ – b sin θ)2 = c2

a2 cos2 θ + b2 sin2 θ – 2 ab cos θ sin θ = c2

a2 (1 – sin2 θ) + b2 (1 – cos2 θ) – 2 ab cos θ sin θ = c2

a2 – a2 sin2 θ + b2 – b2 cos2 θ – 2 ab cos θ sin θ = c

– a2 sin2 θ – B2 – cos2 θ – 2 ab cos θ sin θ  = – a2 – b2 + c2

a2 sin2 θ + b2 cos2 θ + 2 ab cos θ sin θ = a2 + b2 – c2

(a sin θ + b cos θ)2 – a2 + b2 – c

a sin θ + b cos θ = `±  sqrt("a"^2 + "b"^2 -"c"^2)`

Hence it is proved.
