Vedclass · Answer

(D) We know that $\cot 18^{\circ} \cot 36^{\circ}+1 = \frac{\cos 18^{\circ}}{\sin 18^{\circ}} \cdot \frac{\cos 36^{\circ}}{\sin 36^{\circ}}+1$. Using $\cos 36^{\circ} = 1-2\sin^2 18^{\circ}$,we get: $\frac{\cos 18^{\circ}(1-2\sin^2 18^{\circ})}{\sin 18^{\circ} \cdot 2 \sin 18^{\circ} \cos 18^{\circ}}+1 = \frac{1-2\sin^2 18^{\circ}}{2\sin^2 18^{\circ}}+1 = \frac{1}{2\sin^2 18^{\circ}}$. Since $\sin 18^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{4}$,then $\sin^2 18^{\circ} = \frac{5+1-2\sqrt{5}}{16} = \frac{6-2\sqrt{5}}{16} = \frac{3-\sqrt{5}}{8}$. Substituting this value: $\frac{1}{2(\frac{3-\sqrt{5}}{8})} = \frac{4}{3-\sqrt{5}} = \frac{4(3+\sqrt{5})}{9-5} = \frac{4(3+\sqrt{5})}{4} = 3+\sqrt{5}$.

$\cot 18^{\circ} \cdot \cot 36^{\circ}+1=$
