1. Express each of the following as the product of sines and cosines:
(i) sin 12x + sin 4x
(ii) sin 5x – sin x
(iii) cos 12x + cos 8x
(iv) cos 12x – cos 4x

(v) sin 2x + cos 4x

Solution:

(i) sin 12x + sin 4x

By using the formula,

sin A + sin B = 2 sin (A+B)/2 cos (A-B)/2

sin 12x + sin 4x = 2 sin (12x + 4x)/2 cos (12x – 4x)/2

= 2 sin 16x/2 cos 8x/2

= 2 sin 8x cos 4x

(ii) sin 5x – sin x

By using the formula,

sin A – sin B = 2 cos (A+B)/2 sin (A-B)/2

sin 5x – sin x = 2 cos (5x + x)/2 sin (5x – x)/2

= 2 cos 6x/2 sin 4x/2

= 2 cos 3x sin 2x

(iii) cos 12x + cos 8x

By using the formula,

cos A + cos B = 2 cos (A+B)/2 cos (A-B)/2

cos 12x + cos 8x = 2 cos (12x + 8x)/2 cos (12x – 8x)/2

= 2 cos 20x/2 cos 4x/2

= 2 cos 10x cos 2x

(iv) cos 12x – cos 4x

By using the formula,

cos A – cos B = -2 sin (A+B)/2 sin (A-B)/2

cos 12x – cos 4x = -2 sin (12x + 4x)/2 sin (12x – 4x)/2

= -2 sin 16x/2 sin 8x/2

= -2 sin 8x sin 4x

(v) sin 2x + cos 4x

sin 2x + cos 4x = sin 2x + sin (90^o – 4x)

By using the formula,

sin A + sin B = 2 sin (A+B)/2 cos (A-B)/2

sin 2x + sin (90^o – 4x) = 2 sin (2x + 90^o – 4x)/2 cos (2x – 90^o + 4x)/2

= 2 sin (90^o – 2x)/2 cos (6x – 90^o)/2

= 2 sin (45° – x) cos (3x – 45°)

= 2 sin (45° – x) cos {-(45° – 3x)} (since, {cos (-x) = cos x})

= 2 sin (45° – x) cos (45° – 3x)

= 2 sin (π/4 – x) cos (π/4 – 3x)

Let us consider LHS:

sin 38° + sin 22°

By using the formula,

sin A + sin B = 2 sin (A+B)/2 cos (A-B)/2

sin 38° + sin 22° = 2 sin (38^o + 22^o)/2 cos (38^o – 22^o)/2

= 2 sin 60^o/2 cos 16^o/2

= 2 sin 30^o cos 8^o

= 2 × 1/2 × cos 8^o

= sin 105^o + sin (-15^o)

= sin 105^o – sin 15^o [{sin(-A) = – sin A}]

By using the formula,

Sin A – sin B = 2 cos (A+B)/2 sin (A-B)/2

sin 105^o – sin 15^o = 2 cos (105^o + 15^o)/2 sin (105^o – 15^o)/2

sin 50° – sin 70° + sin 10° = 2 cos (50^o + 70^o)/2 sin (50^o – 70^o) + sin 10^o

= 2 cos 120^o/2 sin (-20^o)/2 + sin 10^o

= 2 cos 60^o (- sin 10^o) + sin 10^o [since,{sin (-A) = -sin (A)}]

(i) cos (3π/4 + x) – cos (3π/4 – x) = -√2 sin x

Let us consider LHS:

cos (3π/4 + x) – cos (3π/4 – x)

By using the formula,

cos A – cos B = -2 sin (A+B)/2 sin (A-B)/2

= -2 sin (6π/4)/2 sin 2x/2

= -2 sin 6π/8 sin x

= -2 sin 3π/4 sin x

= -2 sin (π – π/4) sin x

= -2 sin π/4 sin x (since, (π-A) = sin A)

= -2 × 1/√2 × sin x

= -√2 sin x

= RHS

Let us consider LHS:

sin 65^o + cos 65^o = sin 65^o + sin (90^o – 65^o)

= sin 65^o + sin 25^o

By using the formula,

sin A + sin B = 2 sin (A+B)/2 cos (A-B)/2

sin 65^o + sin 25^o = 2 sin (65^o + 25^o)/2 cos (65^o – 25^o)/2

= 2 sin 90^o/2 cos 40^o/2

Let us consider LHS:

cos 3A + cos 5A + cos 7A + cos 15A

So now,

(cos 5A + cos 3A) + (cos 15A + cos 7A)

By using the formula,

cos A + cos B = 2 cos (A+B)/2 cos (A-B)/2

(cos 5A + cos 3A) + (cos 15A + cos 7A)

= [2 cos (5A+3A)/2 cos (5A-3A)/2] + [2 cos (15A+7A)/2 cos (15A-7A)/2]

= [2 cos 8A/2 cos 2A/2] + [2 cos 22A/2 cos 8A/2]

= [2 cos 4A cos A] + [2 cos 11A cos 4A]

= 2 cos 4A (cos 11A + cos A)

Again by using the formula,

cos A + cos B = 2 cos (A+B)/2 cos (A-B)/2

2 cos 4A (cos 11A + cos A) = 2 cos 4A [2 cos (11A+A)/2 cos (11A-A)/2]

= 2 cos 4A [2 cos 12A/2 cos 10A/2]

= 2 cos 4A [2 cos 6A cos 5A]

= 4 cos 4A cos 5A cos 6A

= RHS

(ii) cos A + cos 3A + cos 5A + cos 7A = 4 cos A cos 2A cos 4A

Let us consider LHS:

cos A + cos 3A + cos 5A + cos 7A

So now,

(cos 3A + cos A) + (cos 7A + cos 5A)

By using the formula,

cos A + cos B = 2 cos (A+B)/2 cos (A-B)/2

(cos 3A + cos A) + (cos 7A + cos 5A)

= [2 cos (3A+A)/2 cos (3A-A)/2] + [2 cos (7A+5A)/2 cos (7A-5A)/2]

= [2 cos 4A/2 cos 2A/2] + [2 cos 12A/2 cos 2A/2]

= [2 cos 2A cos A] + [2 cos 6A cos A]

= 2 cos A (cos 6A + cos 2A)

Again by using the formula,

cos A + cos B = 2 cos (A+B)/2 cos (A-B)/2

2 cos A (cos 6A + cos 2A) = 2 cos A [2 cos (6A+2A)/2 cos (6A-2A)/2]

= 2 cos A [2 cos 8A/2 cos 4A/2]

= 2 cos A [2 cos 4A cos 2A]

= 4 cos A cos 2A cos 4A

= RHS

Hence proved.

(iii) sin A + sin 2A + sin 4A + sin 5A = 4 cos A/2 cos 3A/2 sin 3A

Let us consider LHS:

sin A + sin 2A + sin 4A + sin 5A

So now,

(sin 2A + sin A) + (sin 5A + sin 4A)

By using the formula,

sin A + sin B = 2 sin (A+B)/2 cos (A-B)/2

(sin 2A + sin A) + (sin 5A + sin 4A) =

= [2 sin (2A+A)/2 cos (2A-A)/2] + [2 sin (5A+4A)/2 cos (5A-4A)/2]

= [2 sin 3A/2 cos A/2] + [2 sin 9A/2 cos A/2]

= 2 cos A/2 (sin 9A/2 + sin 3A/2)

Again by using the formula,

sin A + sin B = 2 sin (A+B)/2 cos (A-B)/2

2 cos A/2 (sin 9A/2 + sin 3A/2) = 2 cos A/2 [2 sin (9A/2 + 3A/2)/2 cos (9A/2 – 3A/2)/2]

= 2 cos A/2 [2 sin ((9A+3A)/2)/2 cos ((9A-3A)/2)/2]

= 2 cos A/2 [2 sin 12A/4 cos 6A/4]

= 2 cos A/2 [2 sin 3A cos 3A/2]

= 4 cos A/2 cos 3A/2 sin 3A

= RHS

Hence proved.

(iv) sin 3A + sin 2A – sin A = 4 sin A cos A/2 cos 3A/2

Let us consider LHS:

sin 3A + sin 2A – sin A

So now,

(sin 3A – sin A) + sin 2A

By using the formula,

sin A – sin B = 2 cos (A+B)/2 sin (A-B)/2

(sin 3A – sin A) + sin 2A = 2 cos (3A + A)/2 sin (3A – A)/2 + sin 2A

= 2 cos 4A/2 sin 2A/2 + sin 2A

We know that, sin 2A = 2 sin A cos A

= 2 cos 2A Sin A + 2 sin A cos A

= 2 sin A (cos 2A + cos A)

Again by using the formula,

cos A + cos B = 2 cos (A+B)/2 cos (A-B)/2

2 sin A (cos 2A + cos A) = 2 sin A [2 cos (2A+A)/2 cos (2A-A)/2]

= 2 sin A [2 cos 3A/2 cos A/2]

= 4 sin A cos A/2 cos 3A/2

= RHS

Hence proved.

(v) cos 20^o cos 100^o + cos 100^o cos 140^o – cos 140^o cos 200^o = – 3/4

Let us consider LHS:

cos 20^o cos 100^o + cos 100^o cos 140^o – cos 140^o cos 200^o =

We shall multiply and divide by 2 we get,

= 1/2 [2 cos 100^o cos 20^o + 2 cos 140^o cos 100^o – 2 cos 200^o cos 140^o]

We know that 2 cos A cos B = cos (A+B) + cos (A-B)

So,

= 1/2 [cos (100^o + 20^o) + cos (100^o – 20^o) + cos (140^o + 100^o) + cos (140^o – 100^o) – cos (200^o + 140^o) – cos (200^o – 140^o)]]

= 1/2 [cos 120^o + cos 80^o + cos 240^o + cos 40^o – cos 340^o – cos 60^o]

= 1/2 [cos (90^o + 30^o) + cos 80^o + cos (180^o + 60^o) + cos 40^o – cos (360^o – 20^o) – cos 60^o]

We know, cos (180^o + A) = – cos A, cos (90^o + A) = – sin A, cos (360^o – A) = cos A

So,

= 1/2 [- sin 30^o + cos 80^o – cos 60^o + cos 40^o – cos 20^o – cos 60^o]

= 1/2 [- sin 30^o + cos 80^o + cos 40^o – cos 20^o – 2 cos 60^o]

Again by using the formula,

cos A + cos B = 2 cos (A+B)/2 cos (A-B)/2

= 1/2 [- sin 30^o + 2 cos (80^o+40^o)/2 cos (80^o-40^o)/2 – cos 20^o – 2 × 1/2]

= 1/2 [- sin 30^o + 2 cos 120^o/2 cos 40^o/2 – cos 20^o – 1]

= 1/2 [- sin 30^o + 2 cos 60^o cos 20^o – cos 20^o – 1]

= 1/2 [- 1/2 + 2×1/2×cos 20^o – cos 20^o – 1]

= 1/2 [-1/2 + cos 20^o – cos 20^o – 1]

= 1/2 [-1/2 -1]

= 1/2 [-3/2]

= -3/4

= RHS

Hence proved.

(vi) sin x/2 sin 7x/2 + sin 3x/2 sin 11x/2 = sin 2x sin 5x

Let us consider LHS:

sin x/2 sin 7x/2 + sin 3x/2 sin 11x/2 =

We shall multiply and divide by 2 we get,

= 1/2 [2 sin 7x/2 sin x/2 + 2 sin 11x/2 sin 3x/2]

We know that 2 sin A sin B = cos (A-B) – cos (A+B)

So,

= 1/2 [cos (7x/2 – x/2) – cos (7x/2 + x/2) + cos (11x/2 – 3x/2) – cos (11x/2 + 3x/2)]

= 1/2 [cos (7x-x)/2 – cos (7x+x)/2 + cos (11x-3x)/2 – cos (11x+3x)/2]

= 1/2 [cos 6x/2 – cos 8x/2 + cos 8x/2 – cos 14x/2]

= 1/2 [cos 3x – cos 7x]

= – 1/2 [cos 7x – cos 3x]

Again by using the formula,

cos A – cos B = -2 sin (A+B)/2 sin (A-B)/2

= -1/2 [-2 sin (7x+3x)/2 sin (7x-3x)/2]

= -1/2 [-2 sin 10x/2 sin 4x/2]

= -1/2 [-2 sin 5x sin 2x]

= -2/-2 sin 5x sin 2x

= sin 2x sin 5x

= RHS

Hence proved.

(vii) cos x cos x/2 – cos 3x cos 9x/2 = sin 4x sin 7x/2

Let us consider LHS:

cos x cos x/2 – cos 3x cos 9x/2 =

We shall multiply and divide by 2 we get,

= 1/2 [2 cos x cos x/2 – 2 cos 9x/2 cos 3x]

We know that 2 cos A cos B = cos (A+B) + cos (A-B)

So,

= 1/2 [cos (x + x/2) + cos (x – x/2) – cos (9x/2 + 3x) – cos (9x/2 – 3x)]

= 1/2 [cos (2x+x)/2 + cos (2x-x)/2 – cos (9x+6x)/2 – cos (9x-6x)/2]

= 1/2 [cos 3x/2 + cos x/2 – cos 15x/2 – cos 3x/2]

= 1/2 [cos x/2 – cos 15x/2]

= – 1/2 [cos 15x/2 – cos x/2]

Again by using the formula,

cos A – cos B = -2 sin (A+B)/2 sin (A-B)/2

= – 1/2 [-2 sin (15x/2 + x/2)/2 sin (15x/2 – x/2)/2]

= -1/2 [-2 sin (16x/2)/2 sin (14x/2)/2]

= -1/2 [-2 sin 16x/4 sin 7x/2]

= – 1/2 [-2 sin 4x sin 7x/2]

= -2/-2 [sin 4x sin 7x/2]

= sin 4x sin 7x/2

= RHS

Hence proved.

By using the formulas,

sin A – sin B = 2 cos (A+B)/2 sin (A-B)/2

cos A – cos B = -2 sin (A+B)/2 sin (A-B)/2

= RHS

Hence proved.

9. Prove that:

(i) sin α + sin β + sin γ – sin (α + β + γ) = 4 sin (α + β)/2 sin (β + γ)/2 sin (α + γ)/2

(ii) cos (A + B + C) + cos (A – B + C) + cos (A + B – C) + cos (-A + B + C) = 4 cos A cos B cos C

Solution:

(i) sin α + sin β + sin γ – sin (α + β + γ) = 4 sin (α + β)/2 sin (β + γ)/2 sin (α + γ)/2

Let us consider LHS:

sin α + sin β + sin γ – sin (α + β + γ)

By using the formulas,

Sin A + sin B = 2 sin (A+B)/2 cos (A-B)/2

Sin A – sin B = 2 cos (A+B)/2 sin (A-B)/2

= RHS

Hence proved.

(ii) cos (A + B + C) + cos (A – B + C) + cos (A + B – C) + cos (-A + B + C) = 4 cos A cos B cos C

Let us consider LHS:

cos (A + B + C) + cos (A – B + C) + cos (A + B – C) + cos (-A + B + C)

so,

cos (A + B + C) + cos (A – B + C) + cos (A + B – C) + cos (-A + B + C) =

={cos (A + B + C) + cos (A – B + C)} + {cos (A + B – C) + cos (-A + B + C)}

By using the formula,

Cos A + cos B = 2 cos (A+B)/2 cos (A-B)/2

= 4 cos A cos B cos C

= RHS

Hence proved.
