Q. Write the formula of trigonometric ratio of cos(270∘−A)
Recognize Trigonometric Identity: Recognize the trigonometric identity for cosine of a difference. The formula for the cosine of the difference of two angles is cos(α−β)=cos(α)cos(β)+sin(α)sin(β). However, in this case, we are dealing with a specific angle, 270∘, which is a special angle in trigonometry. We need to use the fact that cos(270∘)=0 and sin(270∘)=−1.
Apply Identity to 270°: Apply the cosine difference identity to the specific angle 270°. Using the identity from Step 1, we substitute α with 270° and β with A to get cos(270°−A)=cos(270°)cos(A)+sin(270°)sin(A).
Substitute Known Values: Substitute the known values of cos(270°) and sin(270°) into the equation.We know that cos(270°)=0 and sin(270°)=−1, so we substitute these values into the equation from Step 2 to get cos(270°−A)=(0)cos(A)+(−1)sin(A).
Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation.Since (0)cos(A) is 0, it drops out of the equation, and we are left with cos(270°−A)=−sin(A).
