Question 12: Prove that   sin²6x – sin²4x = sin 2x sin 10x

Answer 12:

It is known that

sin A + sin B=2 sin sin A-sin B=2 cos

Therefore L.H.S. = sin²6x – sin²4x

= (sin 6x + sin 4x) (sin 6x – sin 4x)

= (2 sin 5x cos x) (2 cos 5x sin x)

= (2 sin 5x cos 5x) (2 sin x cos x)

Question 13: Prove that   cos²2x – cos²6x = sin 4x sin 8x

Answer 13:

It is known that

cos A + cos B=2 cos cos A-cos B=-2 sin

 ∴ L.H.S. = cos²2x – cos²6x

= (cos 2x + cos 6x) (cos 2x – 6x)

= [2 cos 4x cos(-2x)][-2 sin 4x sin(-2x)]

= [2 cos 4x cos 2x] [–2 sin 4x (–sin 2x)]

= (2 sin 4x cos 4x) (2 sin 2x cos 2x)

= sin 8x sin 4x

= R.H.S.

Question 14:  Prove that

sin 2x + 2sin 4x + sin 6x = 4cos² x sin 4x

Answer 14: L.H.S. = sin 2x + 2 sin 4x + sin 6x

= [sin 2x + sin 6x] + 2 sin 4x

= 2 sin 4x cos (– 2x) + 2 sin 4x

= 2 sin 4x cos 2x + 2 sin 4x

= 2 sin 4x (cos 2x + 1)

= 2 sin 4x (2 cos² x – 1 + 1)

= 2 sin 4x (2 cos² x)

= 4cos² x sin 4x

= R.H.S.

Question 15: Prove that

cot 4x (sin 5x + sin 3x) = cot x (sin 5x – sin 3x)

Answer 15:      

L.H.S = cot 4x (sin 5x + sin 3x)

= 2 cos 4x cos x

R.H.S. = cot x (sin 5x – sin 3x)

Answer 22:

L.H.S. = cot x cot 2x – cot 2x cot 3x – cot 3x cot x

= cot x cot 2x – cot 3x (cot 2x + cot x)

= cot x cot 2x – cot (2x + x) (cot 2x + cot x)

= cot x cot 2x – (cot 2x cot x – 1) = 1

= R.H.S.

∴L.H.S. = tan 4x = tan 2(2x)

= R.H.S.

Question 24:  Prove that:  cos 4x = 1 – 8sin² x cos² x

Answer 24: L.H.S. = cos 4x

= cos 2(2x)

= 1 – 2 sin² 2x [cos 2A = 1 – 2 sin² A]

= 1 – 2(2 sin x cos x)² [sin2A = 2sin A cosA]

= 1 – 8 sin²x cos²x

= R.H.S.

Question 25:  Prove that:

cos 6x = 32 cos⁶ x – 48 cos⁴ x + 18 cos² x – 1

Answer 25: L.H.S. = cos 6x

= cos 3(2x)

= 4 cos³2x – 3 cos 2x [cos 3A = 4 cos³ A – 3 cos A]

= 4 [(2 cos² x – 1)³ – 3 (2 cos² x – 1) [cos 2x = 2 cos² x – 1]

= 4 [(2 cos² x)³ – (1)³ – 3 (2 cos² x)² + 3 (2 cos² x)] – 6cos² x + 3

= 4 [8cos⁶x – 1 – 12 cos⁴x + 6 cos²x] – 6 cos²x + 3

= 32 cos⁶x – 4 – 48 cos⁴x + 24 cos²x – 6 cos²x + 3

= 32 cos⁶x – 48 cos⁴x + 18cos²x – 1

= R.H.S.
