The correct Answer is:
To evaluate the expression \( 2(\cos^2 28^\circ - \sin^2 62^\circ) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the expression We start with the expression: \[ 2(\cos^2 28^\circ - \sin^2 62^\circ) \] ### Step 2: Use the co-function identity We know from trigonometric identities that: \[ \sin(90^\circ - \theta) = \cos(\theta) \] Thus, we can express \(\sin 62^\circ\) in terms of cosine: \[ \sin 62^\circ = \cos(90^\circ - 62^\circ) = \cos 28^\circ \] ### Step 3: Substitute the identity into the expression Now, we can substitute \(\sin^2 62^\circ\) with \(\cos^2 28^\circ\): \[ 2(\cos^2 28^\circ - \cos^2 28^\circ) \] ### Step 4: Simplify the expression Now we can simplify the expression: \[ 2(0) = 0 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \( 2(\cos^2 28^\circ - \sin^2 62^\circ) \) is: \[ \boxed{0} \]
