Question

Simplify to an expression of the form (a sin(θ)). 2sin(/8)2cos(/8)

Answer 1

Answer:

Your expression equals $2 \sin(\frac{\pi}{4})$ assuming the problem was to simplify $2\sin(\frac{\pi}{8}) 2\cos(\frac{\pi}{8})$ to the form $a\sin(\theta)$.

Step-by-step explanation:

$2\sin(\frac{\pi}{8}) 2\cos(\frac{\pi}{8})$

$2(2)\sin(\frac{\pi}{8})\cos(\frac{\pi}{8})$

Let's use the following identity: $2\sin(A)\cos(A)=\sin(2A)$

$2\sin(2 \cdot \frac{\pi}{8})$

$2 \sin(\frac{\pi}{4})$ which is comparable to the form $a\sin(\theta)$.

$a=2$

$\theta=\frac{\pi}{4}$
