The correct Answer is:
To evaluate the expression \[ \frac{\cot^2 41^\circ}{\tan^2 49^\circ} - 2 \frac{\sin^2 75^\circ}{\cos^2 15^\circ} \] we will use the properties of complementary angles. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Recognize Complementary Angles:** We know that \( \tan(90^\circ - \theta) = \cot(\theta) \) and \( \sin(90^\circ - \theta) = \cos(\theta) \). 2. **Rewrite the First Term:** We can rewrite \( \cot^2 41^\circ \) as: \[ \cot^2 41^\circ = \cot^2(90^\circ - 49^\circ) = \tan^2 49^\circ \] Therefore, the first term becomes: \[ \frac{\cot^2 41^\circ}{\tan^2 49^\circ} = \frac{\tan^2 49^\circ}{\tan^2 49^\circ} = 1 \] 3. **Rewrite the Second Term:** For the second term, we can rewrite \( \sin^2 75^\circ \) as: \[ \sin^2 75^\circ = \sin^2(90^\circ - 15^\circ) = \cos^2 15^\circ \] Thus, the second term becomes: \[ 2 \frac{\sin^2 75^\circ}{\cos^2 15^\circ} = 2 \frac{\cos^2 15^\circ}{\cos^2 15^\circ} = 2 \] 4. **Combine the Results:** Now substituting back into the original expression, we have: \[ 1 - 2 = -1 \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the value of the expression is: \[ \boxed{-1} \]
