Question
Prove that: $\frac{\sin9\text{A}-\sin\text7{A}}{\cos7\text{A}-\cos9\text{A}}=\cot8\text{A}$

Answer

We have, $\text{LHS}=\frac{\sin9\text{A}-\sin7\text{A}}{\cos7\text{A}-\cos9\text{A}}$ $=\ \frac{2\sin\Big(\frac{9\text{A}-7\text{A}}{2}\Big)\cos\Big(\frac{9\text{A}+7\text{A}}{2}\Big)}{-2\sin\Big(\frac{7\text{A}+9\text{A}}{2}\Big)\sin\Big(\frac{7\text{A}-9\text{A}}{2}\Big)}$ $=\ \frac{-\sin\text{A}\cos8\text{A}}{\sin8\text{A}\sin(-\text{A})}$ $=\ \frac{-\sin\text{A}\cos8\text{A}}{-\sin\text{A}\times\sin8\text{A}}$ $[\because\ \sin(-\theta)=-\sin\theta]$ $=\ \frac{\cos8\text{A}}{\sin8\text{A}}$ $=\ \cot8\text{A}$ $=\ \text{RHS}$ $\therefore\ \frac{\sin9\text{A}-\sin7\text{A}}{\cos7\text{A}-\cos9\text{A}}=\cot8\text{A}.$ Hence proved.
