Trigonometric EquationHard
Question
If x = y cos
= z cos
, then xy + yz + zx =
Options
A.-1
B.0
C.1
D.2
Solution
x = y cos (π -
) = z cos (π +
)
= -y cos
= -z cos 

⇒ xy + yz + zx = (1) (-2) + (-2) (-2) + (-2) (1)
= -2 + 4 - 2 = 0
= -y cos
⇒ xy + yz + zx = (1) (-2) + (-2) (-2) + (-2) (1)
= -2 + 4 - 2 = 0
