Prove the identity
sin
(
α
+
β
)
+
sin
(
α
−
β
)
2 sin ( α ) cos ( β )
We will work on the left side:
sin ( α + β ) + sin ( α − β )
=
- Use sum and difference identities (type "alpha" for
α and "beta" for
β ):
=
Now you have:
2 sin ( α ) cos ( β )
=
-
Simplify:
=
Proven! Now you have:
FORMATTING INSTRUCTIONS BELOW Type in lowercase and use parentheses. For example type sin(x) not sinx.
For fractions use the divide symbol "/".
For example sin(x)/cos(x) for
sin
(
x
)
cos
(
x
)
For multiplication of fractions use parentheses.
For example (cos(a)/sin(b))(tan(c)/sin(d)) for
(
cos
(
a
)
sin
(
b
)
)
(
tan
(
c
)
sin
(
d
)
)
.
For multiplication without fractions no symbol is necessary. For example cos(a)sin(b)
For exponents use "^". Parentheses will be necessary depending on how you choose to type your answer
For example sin^2(x) for
sin
2
(
x
)
.
Or (sin(x))^2 for
(
sin
(
x
)
)
2
.
For fractions with multiple terms in the numerator or denominator parentheses are necessary.
For example (1+sin(x))/cos(x) for
1
+
sin
(
x
)
cos
(
x
)
.
Or (1+sin(x))/(1-sin(x)) for
1
+
sin
(

sin(α + β) = sin(α)cos(β) + cos(α)sin(β)
sin(α − β) = sin(α)cos(β) − cos(α)sin(β)
sin(α + β) + sin(α − β) = 2sin(α)cos(β)
