sin²1+sin²5 + sin²9+……….sin²89 =?
Here, we notice that (1, 89), (5,85)…are complementary angles.
so we combine 1st & the last term, 2nd & the last but one term……..
ie, (sin²1+sin²89) +(sin²5+ sin²85) +………..so on..
Since these angles are in AP
1,5,9,13,………89 we find the total no of terms
Tn= a+(n-1)d
89= 1+(n-1)4
88=4n-4
4n= 92
So n= 23
Since total no of terms= 23 is an odd number
Therefore, the middle term will be n+1/2 =(23+1)/2 = 12th
Now 12th term = 1+11x4 = 1+44=45
When we combine the terms in AP series
(Sin²1+sin²89) +( sin²5+sin²85)+……….sin²45
(Sin²1+cos²1)+(sin²5+ cos²5)+…….sin²45 ( we got this step using complementary angles relation sin²a= cos²(90-a)
Now since since sin²a+ cos²a= 1(fundamental identity)
Therefore we get
1+ 1 + 1+…11times………..+sin²45
= 11+ (1/√2 )²
= 11 + 1/2
= 23/2
= 11.5
