"Breaking up" two trig functions means to separate them into individual terms or factors. This is often done to simplify an expression or to find common factors between two expressions.
To break up two trig functions, you can use the trigonometric identities and properties to rewrite the expression. For example, you can use the double angle, half angle, or sum and difference identities to simplify the expression into individual terms.
Breaking up two trig functions can make it easier to solve a problem or to evaluate an expression. It can also help identify common factors or simplify complex expressions.
There is no one specific method for breaking up two trig functions. It depends on the expression and the trigonometric identities and properties that can be used to simplify it.
Yes, breaking up two trig functions can change the value of the expression. This is because by simplifying the expression, you are essentially rewriting it in a different form. However, the value should remain equivalent to the original expression.
