sin10*sin50*sin70=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin 10 * sin(60-10) * sin(60+10)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin 10 * (sin^2 60 - sin^2 10)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/4 *sin10 - sin^3 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am stuck from here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

emm ! sin(60-10) * sin(60+10) is not equal (sin^2 60 - sin^2 10)

hartnn (hartnn):

=cos20 cos 40 cos 80 then use sin 40 = 2 sin 20 cos 20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin(60-10) * sin(60+10) is not equal (sin^2 60 - sin^2 10)??????/ why

hartnn (hartnn):

because its not of the form (a+b)(a-b)

hartnn (hartnn):

there is difference between (a+b)(a-b) and sin(a+b)sin(a-b)

hartnn (hartnn):

=cos20 cos 40 cos 80 then use sin 40 = 2 sin 20 cos 20 and sin 80 = 2 sin 40 cos 40 substitute the values of cos20 and cos 40

hartnn (hartnn):

u will also need sin 160=2 sin 80 cos 80 and sin 160=sin 20 in the end everything will cancel and u will get 1/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol...@hartnn i too got the same answer using that formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mukushla @hartnn

hartnn (hartnn):

sin 70 = cos (90-70)=cos 20 similarly for sin10 and sin 50

hartnn (hartnn):

so @Yahoo! whats the problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin(60-10) * sin(60+10) is not equal (sin^2 60 - sin^2 10)?

hartnn (hartnn):

yup,those are not equal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok..thxx
