simplify the expression (trig functions)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(\theta)=\frac{ 2\sin 4\theta }{ \cos 2\theta }-3\sin2\theta \]

hartnn (hartnn):

you know the formula for sin 2x ? aplly it for sin 4theta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no. i don't. what is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

these are my answer choices: 1. f(θ) = sin2θ 2. f(θ) = 2cos2θ+3sin2θ 3. f(θ) = 7sin2θ 4. f(θ) = 5sin2θ 5. f(θ) = −sin2θ 6. f(θ) = 2cos2θ−3sin2θ

hartnn (hartnn):

sin 2x = 2 sin x cos x so, sin 4thetha = sin 2 (2theta) = .... ?

hartnn (hartnn):

confused ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cos2(theta)

hartnn (hartnn):

whats cos 2 theta ? could you apply the formula in sin 4theta ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 2cos2θ−3sin2θ ??

hartnn (hartnn):

nopes, sin x = 2 sin x cos x so, sin 4theta = sin 2(2theta) = 2 sin (2theta) cos(2theta) makes sense ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okayyy.

hartnn (hartnn):

now what gets cancelled out ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cos2(theta)

hartnn (hartnn):

correct :) what remains ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2sin(2theta)-3sin(2theta)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but that's not any of my answer choices :/

hartnn (hartnn):

oh, i think you forgot a 2 2 (2 sin theta)-3 sin theta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hartnn wait..I don't know which answer it is!

hartnn (hartnn):

you found out that you forgot a 2 there ? 2 (2 sin 2theta)-3 sin 2theta = (4-3) sin 2theta

hartnn (hartnn):

got that ? next step can't be easier...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin2theta. yeah you were pretty clear. thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Goku?

hartnn (hartnn):

welcome ^_^ yes, slamma?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you blow up Earth?

hartnn (hartnn):

umm..yeah, it would take me few seconds though...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need Vegeta to turn into ssj4, I am the Omega Shenron. UMADBRO?!

hartnn (hartnn):

oh, not mad at all, good for you!
