Rewrite with only sin x and cos x. cos 3x
helppppppppppppp:(
start with \[\cos(3x)=\cos(2x+x)\] then use the "addition angle" formula for cosine
\[\cos(2x+x)=\cos(2x)\cos(x)-\sin(2x)\sin(x)\] then use the "double angle" formula for sine and cosine to finish
im at cos 3x= cos (2x+x) = \[(\cos ^{2} x-\sin^2 x) \cos x - (2\sin x \cos x)(\sin x)\]
ok
you have done what is asked your answer is in terms of \(\sin(x)\) and \(\cos(x)\)
you could maybe clean it up with some algebra
im not able to clean it up like i dont know how to simplify (2sinx cosx) (sinx )
\[-2\sin(x)\cos(x)\sin(x)=-2\sin^2(x)\cos(x)\]
and \[(\cos^2(x)-\sin^2(x))\cos(x)=\cos^3(x)-\sin^2(x)\cos(x)\] via the distributive law
the answer choices are: cos x - 4 cos x sin^2x -sin^3x + 2 sin x cos x -sin^2x + 2 sin x cos x 2 sin^2x cos x - 2 sin x cos x literally nothign matches
