Write cos(3x) - cos x as a product

Mathematics
1 answer:
sineoko [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

-2sin(x) * sin(2x)

or any equivalent form, such as 4cos(x)[cos²(x)-1]

Step-by-step explanation:

simplify cos(3x) first:

cos(3x) = cos(2x+x) = cos(2x)cos(x) -sin(2x)sin(x)

using trig identities

= [2cos²(x)-1]cos(x) - [2sin(x)cos(x)]sin(x)

= 2cos³(x) - cos(x) - 2sin²(x)cos(x)

substituting using trig identity sin²(x) + cos²(x) = 1

2cos³(x) - cos(x) - 2[1-cos²(x)]cos(x)

2cos³(x) - cos(x) - 2cos(x)+2cos³(x)

4cos³(x) - 3cos(x)

remember this cos(3x), we still have to subtract cos(x)

4cos³(x) - 3cos(x) - cos(x) = 4cos³(x) - 4cos(x)

we can factor 4cos(x) to write this as a product of:

4cos(x)[cos²(x)-1]

further simplification if you want

trig identity sin²(x) + cos²(x) = 1

simplifying: sin²(x) = 1-cos²(x)

simplifying: -sin²(x) = cos²(x)-1

4cos(x)[cos²(x)-1]

4cos(x)[-sin²(x)]

-4cos(x)sin²(x)

trig identity: sin(2a) = 2cos(a)sin(a)

-2sin(x) * 2cos(x)sin(x)

-2sin(x)*sin(2x)

Write an equation of the line that passes through (2 -5) and is parallel to the line 2y=3x+10
andrey2020 [161]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is

2y = 3x + 10

3x - 2y + 10 = 0 .....i)

Any line parallel to line I) is

3x - 2y + k = 0 ......ii)

As the line two passes through the point ( 2 , - 5 ) Now substituting the values

3 * 2 - 2 * ( - 5) + k = 0

6 + 10 + k = 0

16 + k = 0

k = - 16

Now putting the value of k in equation two

3x - 2y + 16 = 0 is the required equation.

Hope it will help :)❤

You bought a bag of tamales and one of your friends ate 1/5 of the entire bag and another friend ate 1/3 of the whole bag. How m
Serggg [28]

Answer:

There is 7/15 left in the bag

Step-by-step explanation:

So, you need to find a common denominator between 3 and 5 which is 15

multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3 in 1/5. Then, multiply the numerator and the denominator by 5 in 1/3.

1/3*5=5/15

1/5*3=3/15

Add them together.

5/15+3/15=8/15

Lastly, subtract 15/15 by 8/15

15/15-8/15=7/15

If the air temperature is −14°F, how many degrees must it rise to reach 0°F?
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

14°

Step-by-step explanation:

→Since the temperature is a negative number, for the degree to reach 0, you must add with the same number.

→The temperature is -14, so to get it to 0, you add 14:

-14 + 14 = 0
