Prove that $2 \sin ^{2} \frac{3 \pi}{4}+2 \cos ^{2} \frac{\pi}{4}+2 \sec ^{2} \frac{\pi}{3}=10$

Question.
Prove that $2 \sin ^{2} \frac{3 \pi}{4}+2 \cos ^{2} \frac{\pi}{4}+2 \sec ^{2} \frac{\pi}{3}=10$

solution:

L.H.S $=2 \sin ^{2} \frac{3 \pi}{4}+2 \cos ^{2} \frac{\pi}{4}+2 \sec ^{2} \frac{\pi}{3}$

$=2\left\{\sin \left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\right\}^{2}+2\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^{2}+2(2)^{2}$

$=2\left\{\sin \frac{\pi}{4}\right\}^{2}+2 \times \frac{1}{2}+8$

$=2\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^{2}+1+8$

$=1+1+8$

$=10$

$=$ R.H.S
