Prove the identity tan5x Use the SumtoProduct Formulas and
Prove the identity.
= tan(5x)
Use the Sum-to-Product Formulas and then simplify.
| sin(x) + sin(9x) |
| cos(x) + cos(9x) |
Solution
( sin x + sin 9x ) / ( cos x + cos 9x ) = 2 sin ( 9x + x) /2 cos ( 9x - x ) /2
= 2 sin ( 5x ) cos (4x )
= 2 ( sin (5x ) cos (4x ) ) / 2 cos (5x ) cos (4x)
= sin (5x ) / cos (5x )
= tan (5x )
proved !
