Question:medium

The value of \(\frac{sin^23A}{sin^2A}-\frac{cos^23A}{cos^2A}\) is

Show Hint

Use sin3A/sinA = 3 - 4 sin^2 A and cos3A/cosA = 4 cos^2 A - 3.

  • \(cos2A\)
  • \(8cos2A\)
  • \(\frac{1}{8}cos2A\)
  • \(\frac{1}{2}sin2A\)
Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Test with a value:
Take $A = 30^\circ$. Then $\sin 90^\circ = 1$, $\sin 30^\circ = \tfrac12$, so the first term is $1/(1/4) = 4$.

Step 2: Second term:
$\cos 90^\circ = 0$, so the second term is $0$. The expression equals $4$.

Step 3: Match:
$\cos 2A = \cos 60^\circ = \tfrac12$, and $8\cos2A = 4$. Other options give $0.5$, $\tfrac1{16}$ or $\tfrac{\sqrt3}{4}$, which differ, so option (B).

Final Answer:
The result is 8 cos 2A. \[ \boxed{\text{(B) }8\cos 2A} \]
