Question
sin4A – cos4A = 1 – 2cos2A. For proof of this complete the activity given below.
Activity:
L.H.S = `square`
= (sin2A + cos2A) `(square)`
= `1 (square)` .....`[sin^2"A" + square = 1]`
= `square` – cos2A .....[sin2A = 1 – cos2A]
= `square`
= R.H.S
Solution
L.H.S = sin4A – cos4A
= (sin2A)2 – (cos2A)2
= (sin2A + cos2A) (sin2A – cos2A) .....[∵ a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b)]
= 1(sin2A – cos2A) .....[∵ sin2A + cos2A = 1]
= sin2A – cos2A
= 1 – cos2A – cos2A .....[sin2A = 1 – cos2A]
= 1 – 2cos2A
= R.H.S
