Question

If a sinθ + b cosθ = c, then prove that a cosθ – b sinθ = `sqrt(a^2 + b^2 - c^2)`.

Sum

Solution

Given that,

a sin θ + b cos θ = c

On squaring both sides,

(a . sin θ + cos θ . b)2 = c2

⇒ a2sin2θ + b2cos2θ + 2ab sin θ . cos θ = c2  ...[∵ (x + y)2 = x2 + 2xy + y2]

⇒ a2(1 – cos2θ) + b2(1 – sin2θ) + 2ab sinθ . cosθ = c2  ...[∵ sin2θ + cos2θ = 1]

⇒ a2 – a2 cos2θ + b2 – b2sin2θ + 2ab sinθ . cosθ = c2

⇒ a2 + b2 – c2 = a2cos2θ + b2sin2θ – 2ab sinθ . cosθ

⇒ (a2 + b2 – c2) = (a cos θ – b sin θ)2  ...[∵ a2 + b2 – 2ab = (a – b)2]

⇒ (a cos θ – b sin θ)2 = a2 + b2 – c2

⇒ a cos θ – b sin θ = `sqrt(a^2 + b^2 + c^2)`

Hence proved.
