SOLUTION: 3cos(7x+1) = 3cos(1)(cos(7x)) - 3sin(1)(sin7x) (ALREADY FOUND BELOW, CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE SECOND ONE) 3sin(5x+3) = 3sin(3)(cos(5x)) + 3cos(3)(sin5x) Now reverse these formulas a

Question 1183393: 3cos(7x+1) = 3cos(1)(cos(7x)) - 3sin(1)(sin7x) (ALREADY FOUND BELOW, CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE SECOND ONE)
3sin(5x+3) = 3sin(3)(cos(5x)) + 3cos(3)(sin5x)
Now reverse these formulas and given the expanded version find the version with just one term. This involves solving a pair of equations -- in order to get Acos(x) +Bsin(x) = Rsin(x+b) = Rsin(b)cos(x)+Rcos(b)sin(x) what values must you choose for R and b? (Match coefficients.)
By convention we'll assume that the amplitude (the first coefficient on the left hand side) is positive.
__7___ cos(7x+__-1/7___) = 7cos(7x)+1sin(7x)
_____sin(5x+______)=6cos(5x)=-3sin(5x) <-- NEED THIS ONE SOLVED

The problem is that you have this:

_____sin(5x+______)=6cos(5x)=-3sin(5x)
 
but  is false!!!

You typed this:

_____sin(5x+______)=6cos(5x)=-3sin(5x)
but I don't think you meant to type =-
I think you might have meant this instead:

_____sin(5x+______)=6cos(5x)+3sin(5x)
Put A in the first blank and C in the second:



Use the identity 



Distribute the A



For this to be an identity and true for all x, the term on the left that
contains sin(5x) must equal the term on the right that contains sin(5x). So:



Divide both sides by sin(5x)



Now we'll do it for the other two terms
{
{{A*sin(5x)cos(C)+A*cos(5x)sin(C)}}}

For this to be an identity and true for all x, the term on the left that
contains cos(5x) must equal the term on the right that contains cos(5x). So:



Divide both sides by cos(5x)



Divide equals by equals



Cancel the A's





So C is the angle whose tangent is 2 

So C = arctan(2)

We draw a right triangle that has contains angle C.  Since we know that
tangent = opposite/adjacent, we draw the side opposite C as 2 and the side
adjacent to C as 1.  Then we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the
hypotenuse:





Since 

Then from the triangle, 





So the answer is:



[Let me know in the space below if this was not what you meant instead of what
 you typed.  If you do, I'll get back to you by email.]
