If msin(α+β) =cos(α−β) then 1–msin2α1 +1–msin2β1 =1–m22
Solution
In this question, given that msin(α+β)=cos(α−β) .Then we have to prove 1–msin2α1 +1–msin2β1 is equal to 1–m22 . First we can consider the given as x . Then we can expand the right side of the expression which was given to prove to get the left side of the expression. With the use of trigonometric identities we can prove it.
Formula used:
1. sin2A+sin2B=2sin(A+B)cos(A–B)
2. sin2Asin2B=2 1cos2(a–b)−cos2(a+b)
3. cos2A=2cosA–1
Complete answer: Given,
msin(α+β) =cos(α−β)
Let us consider the given
msin(α+β)=cos(α−β)=x
Now we can consider the right hand side of the expression,
⇒ 1–msin2α1+1–msin2β1
By cross multiplying,
We get,
⇒ (1–msin2α)(1–msin2β)(1–msin2β)+ (1–msin2α)
By simplifying,
We get,
⇒ 1–m(sin2α+sin2β)+m2(sin2αsin2β)2–msin2β+msin2α
By taking m as common in the numerator,
We get,
1–m(sin2α+sin2β)+m2(sin2αsin2β)2–m(sin2β+sin2α)
We know that
sin2A+sin2B=2sin(A+B)cos(A–B)
From this we can rewrite the expression as
⇒ 1–2m(sin(α+β)cos(α−β))+m2(sin2αsin2β)2–2m(sin(α+β)cos(α−β))
As per the given, we can write cos(α−β) in the place of msin(α+β)
⇒ 1–2cos(α−β)cos(α−β)+m2(sin2αsin2β)2−(2cos(α−β)cos(α−β))
Now we have already consider,
msin(α+β)=cos(α−β)=x
We get,
⇒ 1–2(x)(x)+m2(sin2αsin2β)(2–2(x)(x))
By multiplying,
We get,
⇒ 1–2x2+m2(sin2αsin2β)2–2x2
Now we can use the fact that
sin2Asin2B=2 1cos2(a–b)−cos2(a+b)
We get,
⇒ 1–2x2+2m2cos2(α−β)–cos2(α+β)2–2x2
We also know that,
cos2A=2cosA–1
cos2A=1−cosA
By using this facts,
We get,
⇒ 1–2x2+2m2 2cos2(α−β)+sin2(α+β)–12–2x2 •••(1)
In the question, given that
msin(α+β)=cos(α−β)
And we have considered this as x that is msin(α+β)=x and cos(α−β) =x
On squaring both,
We get,
m2sin2(α+β)=x2
We also write this as
sin2(α+β)=m2x2
Also ,
cos2(α−β)=x2
Now we can substitute this in (1),
⇒ 1–2x2+m2(x2+m2x2–1)2–2x2
By taking 2 common from the numerator,
We get,
⇒ 1–x2+m2(x2–1)2(1–x2)
We can take (1–x2) as common from the denominator,
We get,
(1–x2)(1–m2)2(1–x2)
By simplifying,
We get,
⇒ (1–m2)2
Hence we got the left hand side of the expression.
Thus
1–msin2α1 +1–msin2β1 =1–m22
Hence proved.
Final answer :
1–msin2α1 +1–msin2β1 =1–m22
Note:
The concept used to prove the given expression is trigonometric identities. Trigonometric identities are nothing but they involve trigonometric functions including variables and constants. The common technique used in this problem is the substitution rule with the use of trigonometric functions.
