Prove that cot7.5°=(√2)+(√3)+(√4)+(√6)

a different approach cot θ=((cos θ)/(sin θ)) = ((2cos 7θcos θ)/(2cos 7θsin θ)) = ((cos 8θ+cos 6θ)/(sin 8θ−sin 6θ)) put θ=7∙5 cot 7∙5= ((cos 60+cos 45)/(sin 60−sin 45))=(((1+(√2)))/(((√3)−(√2))))=(1+(√2))((√3)+(√2)) =(√2)+ (√3) +(√4) +(√6)

Method 1 ) cot7.5°=((cos7.5°)/(sin7.5))=((2cos^2 7.5°)/(sin15°))=((1+cos15°)/(sin15°))=((2cos15°+1+cos30°)/(sin30°)) cos15=(((√3)+1)/(2(√2))) =2((((√3)+1)/(√2))+1+(√3).(1/2)) =2((((√6)+(√2)+(√4)+(√3))/2)) so cot7.5°=(√2)+(√3)+(√4)+(√6) ( proved) Method 2 cos(π/(24))=(√((1/2)(1+cos(π/(12)))))=(√((1/2)(1+(((√3)+1)/(2(√2))))))=(1/2)(√((2(√2)+(√3)+1)/(√2))) (1/(2(√2)))(√(4+(√6)+(√2))) sin(π/(24))=(1/(2(√2))).(√(4−(√6)−(√2))) cot(π/(24))=(√((4+(√6)+(√2))/(4−(√6)−(√2))))=((4+(√6)+(√2))/(16−8−2(√(12)))) =(1/2).((4+(√6)+(√2))/(4−(√(12))))=(1/2).(((4+(√6)+(√2))(4+(√(12))))/4) =(1/8)(16+4(√6)+4(√2)+4(√(12))+6(√2)+2(√(12))) =2+(√(3/2))+(1/(√2))+(√3)+(3/(2(√2)))+((√3)/(2(√2))) =(√4)+((2(√3)+2+2(√6)+3+(√3))/(2(√2)))=(√4)+(√2)+(√3)+(√6)

how ((cos 7.5^o )/(sin 7.5^o )) = ((2cos ^2 7.5^o )/(sin 7.5^o )) ?

multiplying by 2cos7.5°

Commented byDwaipayan Shikari last updated on 10/Jul/20

It is sin 15°

tan 15^o = tan (2×7.5^o ) = ((2tan 7.5^o )/(1−tan ^2 (7.5^o ))) (1) tan 15^o =tan (45^o −30^o )=((1−(1/(√3)))/(1+(1/(√3)))) = (((√3)−1)/((√3)+1)) = ((4−2(√3))/2) = 2−(√3) (2) set tan 7.5^o = x (2−(√3))(1−x^2 )= 2x (2−(√3))x^2 +2x−(2−(√3) )=0 x = ((−2+ (√(4+4(2−(√3))^2 )))/(2(2−(√3)))) = ((−1+(√(1+7−4(√3))))/(2−(√3))) = ((−1+(√(8−2(√(12)))))/(2−(√3))) = ((−1+(√6)−(√2))/(2−(√3))) = ((((√6)−(√2)−1)(2+(√3)))/1) = 2(√6)+3(√2)−2(√2)−(√6)−2−(√3)= (√6)+(√2)−2−(√3) = tan 7.5^o
