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)

cos θ – sin θ = √2 sin θ
