sin10+sin50-sin70=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Calculator?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by hand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Gt where are you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Who the heck does this with hand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hamidaarab

OpenStudy (anonymous):

May be by using this silly formula then: sin A + sin B = 2 sin ½ (A + B) cos ½ (A − B)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

must be some trick, like writing one of them as acosine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And then this formula: sin A − sin B = 2 sin ½ (A − B) cos ½ (A + B)

OpenStudy (muhammad_nauman_umair):

ok hamidaarab i will help u

OpenStudy (muhammad_nauman_umair):

just wait a second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This stuff is from centuries ago when they did not have calculators and needed to get the angles to add up to what the trigonometric "tables" printed in books could hold. In this modern age, it is outrageous to solve such problems, and by hand.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok entourage

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no that is wrong \[2\sin(30)\cos(-20)\] for first term

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is equal to cos(-20). Then, you re-write it as sin(?). Then, use the same formula stuff with sin(70). Then, get to finally the wonderment. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

guess you get zero, but i am not sure of second step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isn't sin(theta) = cos(pi-theta) or something?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mr Gt \[\lim \lim_{x \rightarrow \pi/4}\cos2x divsinx - cosx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2*sin(30)*cos(-20) = cos(-20) because sin(30) = 1/2. So, you have: cos(-20) - sin(70) to figure out. But, you can write cos(-20) as sin(-110) = -sin(20) I think. So, you have: -sin(20) - sin(70). Then, use the same formula again.

آهان فهمیدم

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mr GT ....=0 thank you

OpenStudy (muhammad_nauman_umair):

As, =sin10+(sin50-sin70) =sin10+[-{2cos(50+70)/2 * sin(50-70)/2}] =sin10-{2cos60 * sin(-10)} =sin10-{2*(1/2) * sin(-10)} =sin10-{ sin(-10)} =sin10+sin(10) =2sin(10+10)/2*cos(10-10)/2 =2sin10*cos0 =2sin10

OpenStudy (muhammad_nauman_umair):

Now Check this out...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

muhamman nauman umair! i solve it! \[\sin10+((2\sin(50-70/2)timescos(50+70/2))=\sin10+(-2\sin10\times1/2)=\sin10-\sin10=0\]
