How Do I Establish a Transformation Identity?
y=M sin Bt + N cos Bt
y = sqrt( M^2 + N^2) sin (Bt+C)

anonymous · Answer

use M=Rcos a 
N=Rsin a 
and then simplify

Where do i start?

anonymous · Answer

put them in ur question also find the sum of the squares of M N to obtain R

anonymous · Answer

C is any angle( in radians if t is real) having P=(M,N)on its terminal side [hint a first step is the following: M sin Bt + N cos BT = sqrt( M^2 + N^2)/sqrt( M^2 + N^2)*(M sin Bt + N cos Bt) <----- THE PROBLEM ASLO GOES ON TO SAY THIS BUT WHAT DOES THIS ACTUALLY MEAN

M sin Bt + N cos Bt =
