cos(3x)sin(11x)

That's a product of a cosine and a sine.  Usually sines
come before cosines, so let's reverse the two factors:

Let's rewrite it as

sin(11x)cos(3x)

We think through the formulas for AħB

sin(AħB) = sin(A)cos(B) ħ cos(A)sin(B)
cos(AħB) = cos(A)cos(B) ∓ sin(A)sin(B)

and see that the first formula contains such a product, 
sin(A)cos(B),

so we let A=11x and B=3x, then 

sin(AħB) = sin(A)cos(B) ħ cos(A)sin(B)

becomes the two equations:

sin(11x+3x) = sin(11x)cos(3x) + cos(11x)sin(3x)
sin(11x-3x) = sin(11x)cos(3x) - cos(11x)sin(3x)

or

sin(14x) = sin(11x)cos(3x) + cos(11x)sin(3x)
 sin(8x) = sin(11x)cos(3x) - cos(11x)sin(3x)

Addinng those equations term by term:

sin(14x) + sin(8x) = 2sin(11x)cos(3x)

Solving for sin(11x)cos(3x) by multiplying both sides by 

[sin(14x) + sin(8x)] = sin(11x)cos(3x)

sin(14x) + sin(8x)] = sin(11x)cos(3x)
