rewrite expression sin x cos x

OpenStudy (imstuck):

Rewrite how? Exactly what are you doing with this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a possible answer: sin(2x)/2 since sin2x=2sinxcosx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use double angle property

Well, there you go... @barbillus hit the nail right on the head the first time around! Yay!

thank u

ur welcome:)

Did you understand how to solve this question @slurpyy ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

I have three other questions . use the power reducing formula to rewrite the expresssion . 1) sin^4 2x 2) tan^2 2x cos^4 2x 3) sin^4 x cos^2 x

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

\[\sin x~.~\cos x\] Can be rewritten in more than 1000 ways. But you've to use the double angle property here. The double angle property for sine says:\[\sin \theta = 2~.~\sin \frac{\theta}{2}~.~\cos \frac{\theta}{2}\]\[\sin 2\theta\ = 2~.~\sin \theta~.~\cos \theta\] Did you get this? Can you use this, now, to rewrite the original expression? :)
