The value of ^248^ - ^212^ is: - Vidyadip

MCQ

The value of $\cos^248^\circ-\sin^212^\circ$ is:

✓
$\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{8}$
B
$\frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{8}$
C
$\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{5}$
D
$\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{2\sqrt{2}}$

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

$\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{8}$

$\cos^248^\circ-\sin^212^\circ$
$=\cos(48^\circ+12^\circ)\cos(48^\circ-12^\circ)$
$[\cos(\text{A+B})\cos(\text{A}-\text{B})=\cos^2\text{A}-\sin^2\text{B}]$
$=\cos60^\circ\cos36^\circ$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times\Big(\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{4}\Big)$
$=\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{8}$
Hence, the correct answer is option $A.$
