I have this Trig. problem. y=cos(4t) + sqrt(3)*sin(4t)
I'm supposed to express it in terms of y=A cos(u-v) :confused:
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

sanitykey,

We appreciate all the work you put into that post, but unfortunately it is against Physics Forums Guidelines (which you agreed to) for you to do so much. Troll has to show some work on this problem before he can receive help. I've "soft deleted" your post and will restore it if Troll shows us that he is trying.
 
Sorry i got carried away, i understand i shouldn't of done so much. To be honest i found that problem quite challenging the method didn't come to me instantly (which i wasn't sure was right but i guess it is ok since you've looked over it Tom).

Troll, as Tom Mattson also mentions, before we can answer your questions,
you need to post what you have tried or where you are getting stuck. Then we can help point you in a successful direction.

I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
