Tính giá trị biểu thức sin^2 10 ∘ + sin^2 20 ∘ + . . . + sin^2 70 ∘ + sin^2 80 ∘
Ta có \({\sin ^2}80^\circ = {\cos ^2}10^\circ ;{\sin ^2}70^\circ = {\cos ^2}20^\circ ;{\sin ^2}60^\circ = {\cos ^2}30^\circ ;{\sin ^2}50^\circ = {\cos ^2}40^\circ \) và \({\sin ^2}\alpha + {\cos ^2}\alpha = 1\)
Nên \({\sin ^2}10^\circ + {\sin ^2}20^\circ + {\sin ^2}30^\circ + {\sin ^2}40^\circ + {\sin ^2}50^\circ + {\sin ^2}60^\circ + {\sin ^2}70^\circ + {\sin ^2}80^\circ \)
\( = {\sin ^2}10^\circ + {\sin ^2}20^\circ + {\sin ^2}30^\circ + {\sin ^2}40^\circ + {\cos ^2}40^\circ + {\cos ^2}30^\circ + {\cos ^2}20^\circ + {\cos ^2}10^\circ \)
\( = ({\sin ^2}10^\circ + {\cos ^2}10^\circ ) + ({\sin ^2}20^\circ + {\cos ^2}20^\circ ) + ({\sin ^2}30^\circ + {\cos ^2}30^\circ ) + ({\sin ^2}40^\circ + {\cos ^2}40^\circ )\)
\( = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4\).
