1+cos(8x)= A. 4cos(2x) B. 2sin^2(4x) C.4sin(2x) D.2cos^(4x)

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

cos 2x=1-2sin^2x

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

use this

OpenStudy (lυἶცἶ0210):

Try using \(\large cos^2x = \frac{1}{2} (1+cos(2x)) \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how would I use it?

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

there is another identity... cos2x=2cos^2x-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sorry, I'm really confused

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

Answer is D, see how....

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

cos2x=2cos^2x-1 =>1+cos2x=2cos^2x now instead of 2x put 8x(left side) so in the right side its half of 8 that is 4. Got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, i think so. thanks!

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

My pleasure
