Rewrite with only sin x and cos x cos 3x
the choices cos x - 4 cos x sin2x -sin3x + 2 sin x cos x -sin2x + 2 sin x cos x 2 sin2x cos x - 2 sin x cos x
i thought it was the third one
please help i don't know if im right
\(\cos 3x=\cos\left(2x+x\right)\)
\[\cos(\alpha+\beta)=\cos \alpha \cos \beta-\sin \alpha \sin \beta\]
i really bad at math i don't understand was my answer choice wrong
i don't know, i didn't work it out. that's your job
can you explain how to do it
use the formula above... then see where it takes you
i got cos x - 4 cos x sin2x thanks
wait i think i did it wrong i re-did it i got -sin3x + 2 sin x cos x
know im just confused
*now*
someone please help me
pgpilot326?
not gettting your choices... could be using difference formula: cos(3x) = cos(4x-x)
umm idk what r u getting
wait... \[\cos \left( 3x \right)=\cos \left( 2x+x \right)=\cos \left( 2x \right)\cos \left( x \right)-\sin \left( 2x \right)\sin \left( x \right)\]\[=\left[ 1-2\sin^2\left( x\right)\right]\cos \left( x\right) -\left[2\sin \left( x \right) \cos\left( x\right)\right]\sin\left( x \right)\]\[=\cos \left( x \right)-4\sin^2\left( x \right)\cos \left( x \right)\]
its almost like the 2nd answer i got..istill dont get it
it's the first choice if what you mean by sin2x is \(\sin^2 x\)
