Answer

cos (2×30°)=1tan2 30°1+tan2 30°\text{cos }(2 \times 30°) = \dfrac{1 - \text{tan}^2 \text{ 30°}}{1 + \text{tan}^2 \text{ 30°}}

L.H.S. = cos (2 x 30°) = cos 60° = 12\dfrac{1}{2}

R.H.S.

=1tan2 30°1+tan2 30°=1(13)21+(13)2=1131+13=331333+13=3133+13=2343=2343=24=12= \dfrac{1 - \text{tan}^2 \text{ 30°}}{1 + \text{tan}^2 \text{ 30°}}\\[1em] = \dfrac{1 - \Big(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt3}\Big)^2}{1 + \Big(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt3}\Big)^2}\\[1em] = \dfrac{1 - \dfrac{1}{3}}{1 + \dfrac{1}{3}}\\[1em] = \dfrac{\dfrac{3}{3} - \dfrac{1}{3}}{\dfrac{3}{3} + \dfrac{1}{3}}\\[1em] = \dfrac{\dfrac{3 - 1}{3}}{\dfrac{3 + 1}{3}}\\[1em] = \dfrac{\dfrac{2}{3}}{\dfrac{4}{3}}\\[1em] = \dfrac{\dfrac{2}{\cancel{3}}}{\dfrac{4}{\cancel{3}}}\\[1em] = \dfrac{2}{4}\\[1em] = \dfrac{1}{2}

∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.

Hence, cos (2×30°)=1tan2 30°1+tan2 30°\text{cos }(2 \times 30°) = \dfrac{1 - \text{tan}^2 \text{ 30°}}{1 + \text{tan}^2 \text{ 30°}}
