If a SinA + b cosA = c, then a cosA – b sinA is equal to:
1. \(\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2} + {c^2}}\)
2. \(\sqrt {{a^2} – {b^2} + {c^2}}\)
3. \(\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2} – {c^2}}\)
4. \(\sqrt {{a^2} – {b^2} – {c^2}}\)
1. \(\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2} + {c^2}}\)
2. \(\sqrt {{a^2} – {b^2} + {c^2}}\)
3. \(\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2} – {c^2}}\)
4. \(\sqrt {{a^2} – {b^2} – {c^2}}\)
Correct Answer – Option 3 : \(\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2} – {c^2}}\)
GIven:
a SinA + b cosA = c
Formula used:
If a Sinθ + b Cosθ = c
Then, a Cosθ – b Sinθ = \(\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2} – {c^2}}\)
Calculation:
Apply above formula on a SinA + b cosA = c
We get
⇒ a CosA – b SinA = \(\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2} – {c^2}}\)
∴ a CosA – b SinA is equla to \(\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2} – {c^2}}\)
