cos² 17° - sin² 73° = 0

Tips:

We know that,

  • sin (90° - A) = cos A
  • cos (90° - A) = sin A

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1.

Now, cos² 17° - sin² 73°

= (cos 17°)² - sin² 73°

= {cos (90° - 73°)}² - sin² 73°

= {sin 73°}² - sin² 73°

= sin² 73° - sin² 73°

= 0

Method 2.

Now, cos² 17° - sin² 73°

= cos² 17° - (sin 73°)²

= cos² 17° - {sin (90° - 17°)}²

= cos² 17° - {cos 17°}²

= cos² 17° - cos² 17°

= 0
