Question

If secα is  the average of sec(α2β) and sec(α+2β) then the value of 2sin2βsin2α is

Moderate
Solution

secα=sec(α2β)+sec(α+2β)2 2cosα=cos(α+2β)+cos(α2β)cos(α2β)cos(α+2β)

 cos2α+cos4β=cosα(2cosαcos2β) 2cos2α1+2cos22β1=2cos2αcos2β cos2α(1cos2β)+(cos2β+1)(cos2β1)=0 (1cos2β)cos2αcos2β1=0 cos2α=cos2β+1 ( as β) cos2α=2cos2β 1sin2α=21sin2β 2sin2βsin2α=1
