If Cos θ+ Sin θ = √2 Cos θ, find the value of (cos θ - sin θ)

If Cos θ+ Sin θ = √2 Cos θ, find the value of (cos θ – sin θ)

If Cos θ+ Sin θ = √2 Cos θ, find the value of (cos θ – sin θ) Sol: Shortcut Trick Formula Used:   cos θ + sin θ = x, then cos θ – sin θ = √(2 – x2)  Calculation:  Using the above formula, we get  ⇒ cos θ – sin θ = √{2 – (√2 cos θ)2}    ⇒ cos θ – sin θ = √{2 – 2cos2 θ}  ⇒ cos θ – sin θ = √2 (1 – cos2θ) […]
