Derive these identities using the addition or subtraction formulas for sine or cosine: sinacosb=(sin(a+b)+sin(a-b))/2

Answer:

The work is in the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sine addition identity is:

\sin(a+b)=\sin(a)\cos(b)+\cos(a)\sin(b).

The sine difference identity is:

\sin(a-b)=\sin(a)\cos(b)-\cos(a)\sin(a).

The cosine addition identity is:

\cos(a+b)=\cos(a)\cos(b)-\sin(a)\sin(b).

The cosine difference identity is:

\cos(a-b)=\cos(a)\cos(b)+\sin(a)\sin(b).

We need to find a way to put some or all of these together to get:

\sin(a)\cos(b)=\frac{\sin(a+b)+\sin(a-b)}{2}.

So I do notice on the right hand side the \sin(a+b) and the \sin(a-b).

Let's start there then.

There is a plus sign in between them so let's add those together:

\sin(a+b)+\sin(a-b)

=[\sin(a+b)]+[\sin(a-b)]

=[\sin(a)\cos(b)+\cos(a)\sin(b)]+[\sin(a)\cos(b)-\cos(a)\sin(b)]

There are two pairs of like terms. I will gather them together so you can see it more clearly:

=[\sin(a)\cos(b)+\sin(a)\cos(b)]+[\cos(a)\sin(b)-\cos(a)\sin(b)]

=2\sin(a)\cos(b)+0

=2\sin(a)\cos(b)

So this implies:

\sin(a+b)+\sin(a-b)=2\sin(a)\cos(b)

Divide both sides by 2:

\frac{\sin(a+b)+\sin(a-b)}{2}=\sin(a)\cos(b)

By the symmetric property we can write:

\sin(a)\cos(b)=\frac{\sin(a+b)+\sin(a-b)}{2}

Neil started a stamp collection with 12 stamps. Every week , he adds 4 more stamps to the collection. Which function? F represen
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

s=4w+12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

s -----> the number of stamps

w ----> the number of weeks

we know that

The linear equation that represent this situation is

s=4w+12 ----> equation of the line into slope intercept form

where

the slope m is equal to m=4\ stamps/week

the y-intercept b is equal to b=12\ stamps ---> (the initial value)

5x minus 6 equal 44?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, however we know that:

5x-6=44

5x must be 50, as 50-6=44

50 divided by 5 is 10, so 10x

I need to find side x in its simplest radical form using the special right triangles method
crimeas [40]

Answer:

\sqrt{6}

Explanation:

From the given diagram,

Hypotenuse sde = x

Opposite side = \sqrt{3}

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

Sintheta = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin 45 = \sqrt{3}/x

x = \sqrt{3}/sin45

\begin{gathered} x\text{ =}\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{\sin 45} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{\frac{1}{\sqrt[]{2}}} \\ x\text{ = }\sqrt[]{3^{}}\cdot\sqrt[]{2} \\ x\text{ =}\sqrt[]{6} \end{gathered}

Hence the value of x is \sqrt{6}
