I came up with... -2sin(5theta/3theta/2) sin (5theta-3theta/2) -2sin8theta/2 sin2theta/2 -2sin4theta sintheta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can someone verify, thanks.

OpenStudy (ranga):

Use the trigonometric identity: cos(A) - cos(B) = -2sin((A+B)/2)sin((A-B)/2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (ranga):

And your answer is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (ranga):

You had 5theta/3theta/2 which threw me off.
