Math Problem Statement

solve

4cos^4(x) - 5cos^2(x) + sin(x)sin(3x) + 3 is equal to?

Solution

The given expression 4cos4(x)5cos2(x)+sin(x)sin(3x)+34 \cos^4(x) - 5 \cos^2(x) + \sin(x) \sin(3x) + 3 simplifies to:

cos(2x)212cos(4x)+32\cos(2x)^2 - \frac{1}{2} \cos(4x) + \frac{3}{2}

Now, for single-digit integer values of xx, this can be evaluated further based on specific values of xx. If you want to check specific values, let me know, or I can proceed with evaluating it further.

Would you like to see the detailed steps or have any other questions? Here are five related questions for you to consider:

  1. How do you use double-angle identities for trigonometric simplification?
  2. What is the relationship between powers of cosine and multiple-angle formulas?
  3. How can trigonometric products like sin(x)sin(3x)\sin(x) \sin(3x) be rewritten using sum-to-product identities?
  4. How can you differentiate the expression you just simplified?
  5. What values of xx make cos(2x)212cos(4x)+32=0\cos(2x)^2 - \frac{1}{2} \cos(4x) + \frac{3}{2} = 0?

Tip: Trigonometric identities can often help simplify complex expressions and make them easier to evaluate or solve!
