Question

If Cos A + sin A= 2 cos A show that Cos A-sinA= 2 Sin A.

Open in App
Solution

CosA +sinA = √2cosA
squaring
⇒(cosA + sin A)² = (√2cosA)²
⇒cos²A + sin²A + 2sinAcosA = 2cos²A
⇒1 - sin²A + 1 - cos²A + 2sinAcosA = 2cos²A
⇒2 - 2cos²A = cos²A + sin²A - 2sinAcosA
⇒2(1 - cos²A)= (cosA - sinA)²
⇒ cosA - sinA = √[2sin²A]
⇒cosA-sinA = √2sinA
hence proved
