If cosθ + sinθ = √2 cosθ, prove that : cosθ – sinθ = √2sinθ.

Answer»

We have,

(cosθ + sinθ) = √2cosθ 

By squaring both sides,

(cosθ + sinθ)2 = 2cos2θ 

⇒ cos2θ + sin2θ + 2sinθcosθ = 2 cos2θ 

(∵ (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab) 

⇒ sin2θ = cos2θ − 2sinθcosθ

⇒ 2sin2θ = cos2θ − 2sinθcosθ + sin2θ 

⇒ (cosθ − sinθ)2 = 2sin2θ 

⇒ cosθ − sinθ = √2sinθ 

(By taking squaring root of both sides) 

Hence Proved.
