Write the value of (1 − 4 sin 10° sin 70°)/(2 sin 10°)

Write the value of \( \dfrac{1-4\sin10^\circ\sin70^\circ}{2\sin10^\circ} \)

Solution:
Using identity, \[ 2\sin A\sin B = \cos(A-B)-\cos(A+B) \]
\[ 2\sin10^\circ\sin70^\circ = \cos60^\circ-\cos80^\circ \]
\[ = \frac12-\cos80^\circ \]
Multiplying by 2, \[ 4\sin10^\circ\sin70^\circ = 1-2\cos80^\circ \]
Therefore, \[ 1-4\sin10^\circ\sin70^\circ = 2\cos80^\circ \]
Hence, \[ \frac{1-4\sin10^\circ\sin70^\circ}{2\sin10^\circ} = \frac{2\cos80^\circ}{2\sin10^\circ} \]
Using, \[ \cos80^\circ=\sin10^\circ \]
\[ = \frac{2\sin10^\circ}{2\sin10^\circ} \]
\[ =1 \]
\[ \boxed{1} \]
