cos210°+cos250°−cos10°cos50°
Using, cos2x=2cos2x−1, ⇒cos2x=21+cos2x, we get
=21[1+cos20°+1+cos100°−2cos50°cos10°]
=21[2+cos100°+cos20°−cos60°−cos40°]
=21[2+cos100°+cos20°−21−cos40°]
Using, cosC+cosD=2cos(2C+D)cos(2C−D), we get
=21[23+2cos60°cos40°−cos40°]
=21[23+2×21×cos40°−cos40°]
=21[23+cos40°−cos40°]
=21×23=43.
