Math Problem Statement

sen(30-x).cosx+cos(30-x).senx

Solution

The given trigonometric expression is:

sin(30x)cos(x)+cos(30x)sin(x)\sin(30^\circ - x) \cdot \cos(x) + \cos(30^\circ - x) \cdot \sin(x)

This expression can be simplified using the sum of angles identity for sine. The identity is:

sin(A+B)=sin(A)cos(B)+cos(A)sin(B)\sin(A + B) = \sin(A) \cdot \cos(B) + \cos(A) \cdot \sin(B)

In this case, compare the given expression to the sine identity:

sin((30x)+x)=sin(30)\sin((30^\circ - x) + x) = \sin(30^\circ)

Thus, the expression simplifies to:

sin(30)=12\sin(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{2}

Therefore, the simplified value of the expression is 12\frac{1}{2}.
