Hardest Identity Evar involving sum and differences
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
sin (x) + sin (3x) + sin (5x) + sin (7x) = 4cos(x)cos(2x)sin(4x) 2. Relevant equations sin(a+b)=sin(a)cos(b)+sin(b)cos(a) sin(a-b)=sin(a)cos(b)-sin(b)cos(a) 3. The attempt at a solution Me and four of my classmates have tried to do this proof and it kicked our ***. Please help. |

sin(x) + sin(3x) + sin(5x) + sin(7x) = sin(2x - x) + sin(2x + x) + sin(6x -x) + sin(6x + x) Expand the terms on the right side, and several terms will drop out. You will need to apply the same trick again. |
