\[\large \cos x = \dfrac{2\cos (x-y)\cos(x+y)}{\cos(x-y) + \cos(x-y)}\]

that looks good ^^ so you're done with #18 ? :)

Parth (parthkohli):

Wait, am I on the right track?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you're two steps away from final answer... :P

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

send that cosy to left side, factor out cos2x

Parth (parthkohli):

I love you.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

something gets cancel out leaving you with the final expression

Parth (parthkohli):

Wait, hmm, still not done though. I carried 1+cos(2x) to the RHS and took the LCM. Then what?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

I cancelled something incorrectly in ur work :o i was trying like this initialy : \[\large \cos x = \dfrac{\cos^2x\cos^2y - \sin^2x\sin^2y}{\cos x\cos y}\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\large \cos x = \dfrac{\cos^2x\cos^2y - (1-\cos^2x)(1-\cos^2y)}{\cos x\cos y}\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\large \cos x = \dfrac{-1 +\cos^2x +\cos^2y}{\cos x\cos y}\]

follow ,will check when i come back

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

let me grab a paper to work the rest

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

actually we're done : \[\large \cos^2x \cos y =-1 + \cos^2x + \cos^2y\] \[\large \cos^2x( \cos y-1) =\cos^2y-1\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\large \cos^2x( \cos y-1) =(\cos y -1)(\cos y+1)\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\cos y \ne 1\) (why ) , so we can cancel it both sides : \[\large \cos ^2x = \cos y + 1\]

Parth (parthkohli):

Gotta go, night!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

gnite :) for #19 : \[\large 2\sin \alpha \cos \beta \sin \gamma = \sin \beta \sin(\alpha + \gamma)\] \[\large \dfrac{2\sin \alpha \sin \gamma }{\sin(\alpha + \gamma)}= \tan \beta \] dividing numerator and denominator on left side fraction by \(\cos \alpha \cos \gamma \) shows the expression for harmonic mean

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

nice :)
