(b) If sin ‹ = 3& ( − 4&0 + 20 ( , show that & + 0 Œ6 = 2 tan ‹
Œ+

Solution:
Given sin ‹ = 3& ( − 4 × 0 + 20 (
Œ %
→ cos ‹ Œ+ = 6& − 40 …………(i)….00 ( 
Œ %
cos ‹ Œ6 = −4& + 40………… (ii)...00 ( 
Multiply (i) by & and (ii) by 0, we get
Œ
& cos ‹ Œ+ = 6& ( − 4&0 ………(iii)
Œ
0 cos ‹ Œ+ = −4&0 + 4 0 ( ……...(iv)
CC@;? (@@@) ;C (@c) we get,
Œ Œ %
& cos ‹ Œ+ + 0 cos ‹ Œ+ = 6& ( − 8&0 + 40 ( ………00 (
