Understanding the Missing Stages in Simplifying Expressions

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on clarifying the missing stages in simplifying a mathematical expression involving the identity sin(x)cos(y) = 1/2(sin(x+y) + sin(x-y)). The user seeks help to understand the transition between lines in their expression, which is not clearly explained in their textbook. They specifically mention the values x = θ and y = θ - 30°. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding trigonometric identities for proper simplification. Assistance is appreciated, indicating a collaborative effort to resolve the confusion.

can someone explain to me the stages that are missing in the expression in the attached picture. i think that it has to do with identities but in the book that i got it from did not explain clearly how they went from one line to another. i will appreciate the help very much.

It uses this identity:

sin(x)cos(y) = \frac{1}{2}\left(sin(x+y) + sin(x-y)\right)

x = \theta
y = \theta - 30^o
 
thanx very much gnome i thought that i would never get a response
 
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
I was thinking using 2 purple mattress samples, and taping them together, I do want other ideas though, the main guidelines are; Must have a volume LESS than 1600 cubic centimeters, and CAN'T exceed 25 cm in ANY direction. Must be LESS than 1 kg. NO parachutes. NO glue or Tape can touch the egg. MUST be able to take egg out in less than 1 minute. Grade A large eggs will be used.
