    Question

    What is the simplified value of the given

    expression? 2(sin² 15° + sin² 75°) + 4sin 30° - (2sec 60° + cot 45°)
    A 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D -1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    2(sin ² 15° + sin ² 75°) + 4sin 30° - (2sec 60° + cot 45°)
    Using, sin(90° - A) = cos A
    = 2{sin ² 15° + sin ² (90 - 15)°} + 4 x 1/2 - {2 x 2 + 1}
    = 2(sin ² 15° + cos ² 15°) + 2 – 5
    Using, sin ² A + cos ² A = 1
    = 2 x 1 + 2 - 5 = 2 + 2 - 5 = -1
