Verify the identity Help!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\cos 5t \cos 3t =1/2 + \sin (-5t) \sin 3t\] \[\cos 5t \cos 3t - \sin (-5t) \sin 3t = 1/2\] \[\cos 5t \cos 3t + \sin 5t \sin 3t = 1/2\] \[\cos (5t-3t)= 1/2\] \[\cos 2t= 1/2\]

Thats what i have so far

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[[0,\pi)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pi/6 and 5pi/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what would be my next step though?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2t=arc cos(1/2) 2t=pi/3 and 5pi/3 Now proceed..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

U verifying an identity or solving..?

OpenStudy (zarkon):

let t=0 to see it is not an identity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's because we can only see what he has so far...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We don't know what he did before:-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Verify the identity is very specific

OpenStudy (zarkon):

I'm just going with the first equation written
