Given:

cos2 35° + cos 55°. sin 35° + \(\frac{\tan34°}{\cot56°}\) =            .

Concept used:

1. sin θ = cos (90° - θ)

2. tan θ = cot (90° - θ)

3. sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1

Calculation: 

cos2 35° + cos 55°. sin 35° + \(\frac{\tan34°}{\cot56°}\)

⇒ cos2 35° + cos (90 - 35)°. sin 35° + \(\frac{\tan34°}{\cot(90 - 34)°}\)

⇒ cos2 35° + sin 35°. sin 35° + \(\frac{\tan34°}{\tan34°}\)

⇒ cos2 35° + sin2 35° + 1

⇒ 1 + 1 = 2

∴ The simplified value is 2.
