Prove that cos2A + cos2B + cos2C = -1 – 4 cosA cosB cosC |
Answer» L.H.S. = cos2A + cos2B + cos2C = 2cos(A + B) · cos(A – B) + 2cos2C – 1 = -2cosC . cos(A – B) + 2cos2C – 1 = -2cosC[cos (A – B) – cos C] – 1 = -2cosC{cos (A – B) + cos(A + B)} – 1 = -2 cosC (2cosA · cosB) – 1 = – 1 – 4 cos A cosB cosC = R.H.S. |
