Given:cosB+cosC=4sin2A2anda=constant.⇒cosB+cosC=2(1−cosA)cosB=xc,cosC=a−xb,cosA=b2+c2−a22bcx2+y2=c2(a−x)2+y2=b2subtractingwegeta(2x−a)=−(b+c)(b−c)⇒x=a2−(b+c)(b−c)2a=a2−(b+c)(b−c)2a.....(i)fromgivenconditionxc+a−xb=2(1−cosA)⇒ac+x(b−c)bc=2(1−b2+c2−a22bc)replacingxfrom(i):ab+(b−c2abc)[a2−(b+c)(b−c)]=2[2bc−(b2+c2)+a22bc]2a2c+a2(b−c)−(b−c)2(b+c)=−2a(b−c)2+2a3⇒a2(2c+b−c−2a)=(b−c)2(b+c−2a)a2(b+c−2a)=(b−c)2(b+c−2a)⇒2a=b+cora=∣b−c∣Ifweaccept:b+c=2a=constant,thenlocusofAisanellipsewithfociatBandC.Ifweaccepta=∣b−c∣thenAliesonproducedBCandoneitherside.
