Transform this function into phasor form

AI Thread Summary
To transform the function 3 cos 600t - 5 sin (600t + 110) into phasor form, the second term needs to be converted to a cosine term using trigonometric identities. The discussion suggests utilizing Euler's identities for simplification. Participants highlight the importance of recognizing phase shifts and the relationships between sine and cosine functions. Various formulas are mentioned as helpful tools in this transformation process. Ultimately, applying these techniques will facilitate the conversion to phasor representation.

Tansform the following function of time into phasor form:

3 cos 600t - 5 sin (600t + 110)

so I need to change the second term to a cosine term, any hints? or can I use a trig indentity that would make things easier?

There are a lot of formulas that can help you. I my self often uses the Euler identities.
 
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...
