given the identity sin(x+y)=sinx cosy + siny cosx

sin2x = 2 sinx cosx and

sin(2(x)+x) = sin 2x cos x + sinx cos 2x

using the last two identities gives

sin3x= 2 sinx cosx cosx + sinx cos2x

factoring the sinx we have

sin3x = sinx(2cosx cosx+cos2x)

which satisfies the requirement.

However, we can simplify further since cos 2x = cosx cosx - sinx sinx (a well known identity)

sin3x = sinx (2cosx cosx +cosx cosx - sinx sinx)

so sin3x= sinx(3cosx cosx - sinx sinx)

or sin 3x = 3.cos²x.sinx - sin³x

Good, but not good enough. The answer was required in terms of sin, not a mixture of sinx and cosx. Easily recitified, though, since cos²x = 1 - sin²x

Therefore sin3x = 3*(1-sin²x)*sinx - sin³x

= 3sinx - 3sin³x - sin³x

= 3sinx - 4sin³x

How do you use the Euler's formula to obtain the sin3X in terms of cosX and sinX?

Using Euler's Formula, you use (cos(x) + i sin(x))^n = cos (nx) + i sin(nx) Now you let n=3 (cos(x) + i sin (x))3 = cos(3x) + i sin (3x) (cos(x))3 + 3(cos(x))2 * i sin(x) + 3cos(x) * i2 (sin(x))3 = cos(3x)+ i sin(3x) (cos(x))3 + i(3sin(x)(cos (x))2) - 3cos(x)(sin(x)2) - i(sin(x))3 = cos (3x) + i sin(3x) Now only use the terms with i in them to figure out what sin(3x) is... 3sin(x)(cos(x))2 - (sin(x))3 = sin(3x) Hope this helps! :D


Parentheses before -1 and after 3x and before 3 and after 3x What is the answer to -2 cos2 3x-3 sin 3x equals 0?

I think you mean to solve:(-2 cos23x) - (3 sin 3x) = 0cos2 x + sin2 x = 1⇒ cos2x = 1 - sin2 x⇒ -2 cos2 3x - 3 sin 3x = -2(1 - sin2 3x) - 3 sin 3x = 0⇒ 2 sin2 3x - 3 sin 3x - 2 = 0⇒ (2 sin 3x + 1)(sin 3x - 2) = 0⇒ sin 3x = -1/2 or 2sin 3x = 2 is impossible as the range of sine is -1 ≤ sine ≤ 1Thus:sin 3x = -1/2⇒ 3x = 2nπ - π/6 or 2nπ - 5π/6⇒ x = 2/3nπ -π/18 or 2/3nπ -5π/18

How do you prove that 2 sin 3x divided by sin x plus 2 cos 3x divided by cos x equals 8 cos 2x?

You need to know the trigonometric formulae for sin and cos of compound angles. sin(x+y) = sin(x)*cos(y)+cos(x)*sin(y) and cos(x+y) = cos(x)*cos(y) - sin(x)*sin(y) Using these, y = x implies that sin(2x) = sin(x+x) = 2*sin(x)cos(x) and cos(2x) = cos(x+x) = cos^2(x) - sin^2(x) Next, the triple angle formulae are: sin(3x) = sin(2x + x) = 3*sin(x) - 4*sin^3(x) and cos(3x) = 4*cos^3(x) - 3*cos(x) Then the left hand side = 2*[3*sin(x) - 4*sin^3(x)]/sin(x) + 2*[4*cos^3(x) - 3*cos(x)]/cos(x) = 6 - 8*sin^2(x) + 8cos^2(x) - 6 = 8*[cos^2(x) - sin^2(x)] = 8*cos(2x) = right hand side.

How long is each side of a 28 inch regular decagon?

It is 9.1 inches (approx). L*[sin(x) + sin(2x) + sin(3x) +sin(4x)] = 28 inches where x = 360/10 = 36 degrees. Since x = 36 deg, sin(x) = sin(4x) and sin(2x) = sin(3x) So L*[2sin(x) + 2sin(2x)] = 28 inches L*[sin(x) + sin(2x)] = 14 inches L* 1.539 = 14 approx so that L = 9.098 inches or 9.1 inches, approx.
