Use an Addition or Subtraction Formula to simplify the equation. sin(theta) cos(3theta) + cos(theta) sin(3theta) = 0 Find all solutions in the interval [0, 2 pi). (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)
Solution
sin theta cos 3 theta + cos theta sin 3 theta=0
This is of the form
sinA cos B+ cos A sinB=sin(A+B)
So we get
sin(theta + 3theta)=0
sin 4 theta=0
4 theta= sin-10
theta= pi/4, 2pi/4, 3pi,4,pi,5pi/4, 6pi/4, 7pi/4
