Will fan and medal Hard Trig Question

OpenStudy (crashonce):

\[\sin^3A \cos(B-C)+\sin^3B \cos (C-A) + \sin^3C \cos(A-B) = 3sinAsinBsinC\] Provided that A+B+C=180

OpenStudy (crashonce):

by the way it ends with =sinAsinBsinC

OpenStudy (crashonce):

@ganeshie8 @ikram002p @mathmate

OpenStudy (crashonce):

If we start by breaking it into :\[\sin^2A \times sinA \times \cos(B-C)\] etc. how do we simplify it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sinA= sin (180 - B-C) = sin(B+C)

OpenStudy (crashonce):

Yes but apparantly, it is meant to be done as above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin^2 A×sin(B+C)×cos(B−C)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2sin(B+C)×cos(B−C)= sin2B+sin2C

OpenStudy (crashonce):

Yea so it is (1-cos2A) x (sin2B+sin2C) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin^2A= (1-cos2A)/2

OpenStudy (crashonce):

wait all that on four

OpenStudy (crashonce):

yea but isnt there meant to be another 1/2 in front of the sin2B+sin2C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin^2 A×sin(B+C)×cos(B−C)=1/4 * (1-cos2A)*(sin2B+sin2C)

OpenStudy (crashonce):

yes ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

similarly hence for other terms too and then add up

OpenStudy (crashonce):

sorry can you simplify it more because it gets very very messy

OpenStudy (crashonce):

@matricked

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/4 *{ (1-cos2A)*(sin2B+sin2C) + (1-cos2B)*(sin2C+sin2A) + (1-cos2C)*(sin2B+sin2A) )

OpenStudy (crashonce):

Yes I'm there but can we simplify 1/4(1-cos2A)(Sin2B+sin2C) more?

OpenStudy (crashonce):

@matricked

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/4(1-cos2A)(Sin2B+sin2C) =1/4 *(Sin2B+sin2C -cos2ASin2B -cos2Asin2C)

OpenStudy (crashonce):

that cant really be simplified further without messing up the equation. is there a faster way?

OpenStudy (crashonce):

@matricked

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need to simplify further...

OpenStudy (crashonce):

right now it is too messy to simplify but i could try, the result wont be great

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup.. need to find some special trick used here

OpenStudy (crashonce):

do you noe? i wont waste anymore of your time if you dont

OpenStudy (anonymous):

further simplification may help here ...

OpenStudy (crashonce):

but what do you simplify

OpenStudy (crashonce):

@matricked

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=1/4 * ( 2*(sin2A +Sin2B+sin2C ) - (cos2ASin2B + cos2Asin2C +cos2BSin2A + cos2Bsin2C +cos2CSin2B + cos2Csin2A))

OpenStudy (crashonce):

ok nevermind thanks anyway @matricked

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=1/4 * ( 2*(sin2A +Sin2B+sin2C ) - (cos2ASin2B +cos2BSin2A + cos2Bsin2C +cos2CSin2B + cos2Asin2C + cos2Csin2A)) =1/4 * ( 2*(sin2A +Sin2B+sin2C ) - sin(2A+2B) - sin(2C+2B) -sin(2A+2C) ) now sin(2A+2B) = sin 2(A+B)= sin 2( 180- C)) = -sin2C =1/4 * (( 2*(sin2A +Sin2B+sin2C ) - sin(2A+2B) - sin(2C+2B) -sin(2A+2C) ) =1/4 *( ( 2*(sin2A +Sin2B+sin2C ) + sin2C+sin2A +Sin2B ) =3/4 * (sin2A +Sin2B+sin2C )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=3/4 * (sin2A +Sin2B+sin2C ) =3/4 * (2sin(A+B)cos(A-B)+2sinC cosC) =3/4*2sinC (cos(A-B) +cos C) cosC=cos (180-A-B)=-cos(A+B) =3/4*2sinC (cos(A-B)-cos(A+B) ) =3/4 * 2sinC *2sinAsinB =3sinAsinBsinC

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hope its clear to you...

OpenStudy (crashonce):

oh thanks so much!!!
