The figure shows the graph of senx and sen2x The graph that corresponds to senx + sen2x is: ( I don't know if i have to use the identity sin(x+2x), because, i don't find the answer)

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

\[\sin(x +2x) = (sinx)\cos2x+(cosx) \sin 2x\]

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

even so, the is not answer in the options ( i think so)

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

there*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think you should try to add the heights of the two graphs and convince yourself of what the answer is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Approximatively that is.

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

i would say be, but why the graph is not according to the answer

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

B*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because sin(x) + sin(2x) is not the same as sin(3x).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For example let x = pi/2. Then sin(x) + sin(2x) = 1 + 0 = 1, but sin(3x) = -1.

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

yeah i see your point

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

what i mean is, i wrote down in a bad way on wolfram alpha, so wolfram is graphing sin of 3x

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because you wrote an alternative representation for sin(3x), it's not surprising that sin(3x) is being graphed. If you wanted the right graph, you could have just written sin(x) + sin(2x).

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

THanks a lot bro !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

welcome bro!

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

now I'm going to see if i was right with the B answer
