Prove: cos145+cos11213=cos13365

Open in App
Solution

Let cos145=xcosx=45sinx=1(45)2=35
tanx=34x=tan134
cos145=tan134.....(1)
Now, let cos1512=ycosy=1213siny=513
tany=1213y=tan1512
cos11213=tan1512.....(2)
Let cos13365=zcosz=3365sinz=5665
tanz=5633z=tan15633
cos13365=tan15633.....(3)
Now,
L.H.S. =cos145+cos11213
=tan134+tan1512 [using (1) and (2)]
=tan134+512134.512,[tan1x+tan1y=tan1x+y1xy]
=tan136+204815
=tan15633 [By 3]
= R.H.S.
