Trigonometric Identities Question 237

Question: $ {{( \frac{\cos A+\cos B}{\sin A-\sin B} )}^{n}}+{{( \frac{\sin A+\sin B}{\cos A-\cos B} )}^{n}} $ (n even or odd) =

Options:

A) $ 2{{\tan }^{n}}\frac{A-B}{2} $

B) $ 2{{\cot }^{n}}\frac{A-B}{2} $

C) $ 0 $

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

The expression reduces to $ {{\cot }^{n}}\frac{A-B}{2}+{{\cot }^{n}}\frac{B-A}{2} $ If n is even, answer is (b) and if n is odd answer is (c).
