Question 170

If 0° ≤ A ≤ 90°, the simplified form of the given expression sin A cos A (tan A - cot A) is

Solution

Expression : $$sin A cos A (tan A - cot A)$$

= $$sin A cos A (\frac{sin A}{cos A} - \frac{cos A}{sin A})$$

= $$sin A cos A (\frac{sin^2 A - cos^2 A}{sin A cos A})$$

= $$sin^2 A - cos^2 A$$

= $$sin^2 A - (1 - sin^2 A)$$

= $$2sin^2 A - 1$$
