The task here is to express each trigonometric expression in terms of cos(x) and sin(x). I'll go through each of the expressions one by one, using trigonometric identities to rewrite them.
Let's proceed with the expressions:
Expression (a):
−2cos(−x)+5sin(−x)+2cos(x+π)+11cos(π−x)+3sin(x+π)
Using identities:
- cos(−x)=cos(x).
- sin(−x)=−sin(x).
- cos(x+π)=−cos(x).
- cos(π−x)=−cos(x).
- sin(x+π)=−sin(x).
Substitute these identities into the expression:
−2cos(x)−5sin(x)−2cos(x)−11cos(x)−3sin(x)
Combine terms:
(−2−2−11)cos(x)+(−5−3)sin(x)=−15cos(x)−8sin(x)
So, the answer for (a) is:
−15cos(x)−8sin(x)
Expression (b):
sin(π−x)+2sin(−x)+cos(x+π)
Using identities:
- sin(π−x)=sin(x).
- sin(−x)=−sin(x).
- cos(x+π)=−cos(x).
Substitute these identities:
sin(x)−2sin(x)−cos(x)
Combine terms:
(1−2)sin(x)−cos(x)=−sin(x)−cos(x)
So, the answer for (b) is:
−sin(x)−cos(x)
Expression (c):
2sin(4π−x)−cos(5π+x)−sin(7π−x)
Using identities:
- sin(4π−x)=−sin(x) (since sin(2nπ−x)=−sin(x)).
- cos(5π+x)=−cos(x) (since cos((2n+1)π+x)=−cos(x)).
- sin(7π−x)=sin(x) (since sin((2n+1)π−x)=sin(x)).
Substitute these identities:
2(−sin(x))−(−cos(x))−sin(x)
Simplify:
−2sin(x)+cos(x)−sin(x)=cos(x)−3sin(x)
So, the answer for (c) is:
cos(x)−3sin(x)
Expression (d):
2sin(π−x)+cos(x−π)+sin(π+x)−sin(x−π)
Using identities:
- sin(π−x)=sin(x).
- cos(x−π)=−cos(x).
- sin(π+x)=−sin(x).
- sin(x−π)=−sin(x).
Substitute these identities:
2sin(x)−cos(x)−sin(x)+sin(x)
Combine terms:
(2−1+1)sin(x)−cos(x)=2sin(x)−cos(x)
So, the answer for (d) is:
2sin(x)−cos(x)
