Correct answer
Da2-b2=12

Step-by-step explanation

A2=cosθ     isinθisinθ      cosθcosθ     isinθisinθ     cosθ

=cos2θsin2θ     2isinθcosθ2isinθcosθ         cos2θsin2θ

=cos2θ      isin2θisin2θ       cos2θ

A3=cos2θ     isin2θisin2θ      cos2θcosθ     isinθisinθ     cosθ

=cos3θ     isin3θisin3θ      cos3θ

Similarly, A5=cos5θ     isin5θisin5θ      cos5θ=a    bc    d

a=cos5θb=isin5θc=isin5θ

d=cos5θ

a=d, b=c

(1) a2+b2=cos25θsin25θ=cos10θ0,1 as θ=π24

(2) a2d2=0

(3) a2b2=cos25θ+sin25θ=1

(4) a2c2=a2b2=1
