sin a sin b = (1/2) [ cos (a-b) - cos (a + b)]

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

i'd better make sure thats correct

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

http://www.sosmath.com/trig/prodform/prodform.html this link contains them

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

yes thats the one so if you plug in a=45 and b = 15 you'll see the correct choice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, I see. I worked through it and I think it's the third choice. Am I right?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

no there are 2 cos's in the answer

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

(1/2 ) [cos(45-15) - cos (15+45)]

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

its either 2nd or 4th

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The only difference is the -. I'm thinking the second.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

? How do I know for sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:/

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

its the 4th they've put the negative first

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

1/2 [ cos 30 - cos 60] = 1/2 [-c0s 60 + cos 30]

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, I get it. Thanks!
