Mathematics Question on Trigonometric Functions
If m=tanθ+sinθ and n=tanθ−sinθ, then (m2−n2)2 is equal to
A
mn
B
4mn
C
16mn
D
4mn
Answer
16mn
Explanation
Solution
\left(m^{2} - n^{2}\right)^{2} = \left\\{\left(m+n\right)\left(m-n\right)\right\\}^{2} =\left\\{\left(2 \tan\theta\right)\left(2 \sin\theta\right)\right\\}^{2} =16tan2θsin2θ=16(tan2θ−sin2θ) =16mn (∵tan2θsin2θ=tan2θ(1−cos2θ)=tan2θ−sin2θ)
