Prove that:
L.H.S.
Using Identity 20(iii), , we simplify the numerator terms:
and
Therefore, the Numerator .
Using Identity 20(i), , we simplify the denominator terms:
and
Therefore, the Denominator .
Substituting these simplified forms back into the original expression:
By cancelling the common factor from the numerator and denominator, we get:
Hence proved.
Explanation
The solution applies the sum-to-product trigonometric identities provided in the context (Identity 20(i) and 20(iii)). By grouping terms in both the numerator and denominator, the expression is simplified to show that the Left Hand Side equals the Right Hand Side.
This follows the methodology demonstrated in Example 16 of the provided text.
Solution Steps
Step 1: Group the terms in the numerator and denominator. Apply Identity 20(iii) to numerator terms: and .
Step 2: Factorise the numerator to get .
Step 3: Apply Identity 20(i) to denominator terms: and .
Step 4: Factorise the denominator to get .
Step 5: Divide the simplified numerator by the simplified denominator and cancel common terms to get .
