Question

In ∆ABC, prove that `(cos 2"A")/"a"^2 - (cos 2"c")/"c"^2 = 1/"a"^2 - 1/"c"^2`

Sum

Solution

Consider L.H.S. = `(cos 2"A")/"a"^2 - (cos 2"c")/"c"^2`

= `(1 - 2sin^2 "A")/"a"^2 - (1 - 2sin^2"C")/"c"^2`

= `1/"a"^2 - 2  (sin^2"A")/"a"^2 - 1/"c"^2 + 2  (sin^2"C")/"c"^2`

= `1/"a"^2 - 2"k"^2 - 1/"c"^2 + 2"k"^2`  .......[By since rule]

= `1/"a"^2 - 1/"c"^2`

= R.H.S.
