Can I get some Math help?

Katrin369:

I will try, what is the question?

kamachavis:

I have two.

Katrin369:

Okay. If I can't, then I will tag some people.

Katrin369:

Okay. I can't sorry. Umm, ask. @AZ and @Hoodmemes

kamachavis:

@AZ @Hoodmemes

AZ:

For the first one, you can use \(\cos (A \pm B) = \cos A \cos B \mp \sin A \sin B\) we know that sin and cos have periods of 2\(\pi\) so \( \dfrac{7\pi}{2} + x\) is the same thing as \(\dfrac{\pi}{2} + x\)

AZ:

Does that help you get the correct answer? I know usually in calc classes, you aren't even allowed a normal calculator but for homework, you can always graph it out to make sure I particularly recommend https://www.desmos.com/calculator

kamachavis:

I'm still a little confused.

kamachavis:

It would be sin x!

AZ:

careful there when it's cos(A\(\bf +\)B) then it's going to be cosA cosB \(\bf - \) sin A sin B

AZ:

so basically 2pi is the period for cos and sin curves that means we can get rid of 6pi/2 from 7pi/2 because it's basically making the graph the same that's how we got pi/2

AZ:

and then cos(pi/2) = 0 so you don't have to worry about that but you still have the minus -sinA sin B and A would be `pi/2` and B is `x`

kamachavis:

So would it be -sinx?

AZ:

there you go!

kamachavis:

can you help with the next problem as well?
