Question
Question: If \(\sin 2\theta + \sin 2\varphi = \frac{1}{2}\) and \(\cos 2\theta + \cos 2\varphi = \frac{3}{2}\)...
If sin2θ+sin2φ=21 and cos2θ+cos2φ=23, then
cos2(θ−φ) equal to
A
83
B
85
C
43
D
45
Answer
85
Explanation
Solution
Given, sin2θ+sin2φ=21 .......(i)
and cos2θ+cos2φ=23 .......(ii)
Squaring and adding,
$$$\sin 2\varphi + \cos 2\theta.\cos 2\varphi\rbrack = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{9}{4}$⇒ $\cos 2\theta.\cos 2\varphi + \sin 2\theta.\sin 2\varphi = \frac{1}{4}$ ⇒ $\cos(2\theta - 2\varphi) = \frac{1}{4}$ ⇒ $\cos^{2}(\theta - \varphi) = \frac{5}{8}$.
