Question
Prove that:
$\frac{\sin3\text{A}\cos4\text{A}-\sin\text{A}\cos2\text{A}}{\sin4\text{A}\sin\text{A}+\cos6\text{A}\cos\text{A}}=\tan2\text{A}$

Answer

We have,
$\text{LHS}=\frac{\sin3\text{A}\cos4\text{A}-\sin\text{A}\cos2\text{A}}{\sin4\text{A}\sin\text{A}+\cos6\text{A}\cos\text{A}}$
$=\ \frac{2(\sin3\text{A}\cos4\text{A}-\sin\text{A}\cos2\text{A})}{2(\sin4\text{A}\sin\text{A}+\cos6\text{A}\cos\text{A})}$
$=\ \frac{2\sin3\text{A}\cos4\text{A}-2\sin\text{A}\cos2\text{A}}{2\sin4\text{A}\sin\text{A}+2\cos6\text{A}\cos\text{A}}$
$=\ \frac{\sin(4\text{A}+3\text{A})-\sin(4\text{A}-3\text{A})-[\sin(2\text{A}+\text{A})-\sin(2\text{A}-\text{A})]}{\cos(4\text{A}-\text{A})-\cos(4\text{A}+\text{A})+\cos(6\text{A}+\text{A})+\cos(6\text{A}-\text{A})}$
$=\ \frac{\sin(7\text{A})-\sin(\text{A})-\sin(3\text{A})+\sin(\text{A})}{\cos(3\text{A})-\cos(5\text{A})+\cos(7\text{A})+\cos(5\text{A})}$
$=\ \frac{\sin(7\text{A})-\sin(3\text{A})}{\cos(3\text{A})+\cos(7\text{A})}$
$=\ \frac{2\sin\Big(\frac{7\text{A}-3\text{A}}{2}\Big)\cos\Big(\frac{7\text{A}+3\text{A}}{2}\Big)}{2\cos\Big(\frac{7\text{A}+3\text{A}}{2}\Big)\cos\Big(\frac{7\text{A}-3\text{A}}{2}\Big)}$
$=\ \frac{\sin2\text{A}}{\cos2\text{A}}$
$=\ \tan2\text{A}$
$=\ \text{RHS}$
$\therefore\ \frac{\sin3\text{A}\cos4\text{A}-\sin\text{A}\cos2\text{A}}{\sin4\text{A}\sin\text{A}+\cos6\text{A}\cos\text{A}}=\tan2\text{A}$ Hence proved.
