im not able to figure this out

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

how does sin (...) sin(..) = cos(...)-cos(...)

OpenStudy (danjs):

link is broken...

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

apparently its accordance to this https://gyazo.com/0df138c31be5b67523ca6f3ea60ca281

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

itrs not borken

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

FOURIER SERIES

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

NOT YET

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

YES IT IS ALMOST THERE

OpenStudy (danjs):

oh it was my browser tha tbroke, sorry hah

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

well ya IM LIKE 5 WEEKS BEHIND LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's just product to sum formulas.

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

i need to know this https://gyazo.com/883588ab3191a7dbb78de630c9b1549c

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

actually the top of the link at http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/DE/PeriodicOrthogonal.aspx

OpenStudy (danjs):

hell yeah, pauls notebook is awesome

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

oh FML

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

I WANNA DROP THIS COURSE

OpenStudy (danjs):

Arthur Matuk has awesome video series for DE on MIT OCW, got me an A using that series ...

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

thanks for info dan - gonna take ODEs next semester :o

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

it still doesnt tell me why sin(..)sin(...) = cos(..) - cos(..)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

@Mimi_x3 as Concentrationalizing mentioned, it's the trig product to sum formula:\[\large\rm \sin(a)\sin(b)=\frac{1}{2}\left[\cos(a-b)-\cos(a+b)\right]\]

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

why does my prof say this https://gyazo.com/55c13f04ae511455aa39b45ddc333030

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

(havent done maths for 3 years)

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

that's a trig fromula from precalc

zepdrix (zepdrix):

the angle addition formula? Hmm not sure why he included that... thinking

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

the minus on top of the plus means the signs are opposite

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

zepdrix do you think he was using it to derive the formulas you linked too?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Hmm :\ I don't think so.\[\large\rm \cos(A-B)=\cos(A) \cos(B)+\sin(A) \sin(B)\]Subtracting cos(A)cos(B) from each side,\[\large\rm \cos(A-B)-\cos(A) \cos(B)=\sin(A) \sin(B)\]Which doesn't quite get us there :d Hmm

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Oh wait wait wait.. maybe this.\[\large\rm (1)\qquad \cos(A-B)=\cos(A) \cos(B)+\sin(A) \sin(B)\]\[\large\rm (2)\qquad \cos(A+B)=\cos(A) \cos(B)-\sin(A) \sin(B)\]I'm going to combine these equations like this: \(\large\rm (1)-(2)\), giving us:\[\large\rm \cos(A-B)-\cos(A+B)=\begin{align}&~~~~\cos(A) \cos(B)+\sin(A) \sin(B)\\&-\cos(A) \cos(B)+\sin(A) \sin(B)\end{align}\]Ah yes, I guess it does lead to the identity I mentioned :)\[\large\rm \cos(A-B)-\cos(A+B)=2\sin(A) \sin(B)\]

OpenStudy (dan815):

what do u wanna know aobut inner product

OpenStudy (dan815):

you know how to take inner / dot produt of 2 vecotrs now think of it like taking infinite dimensional dot product where sin(x) is telling you like the value at eacch dimension in your vector
