Simplify the following trigonometric expressions using identities: a) 2sin(5x)cos(5x), b) cos²θ - sin²θ, c) 1 - 2sin²(3x), d) 2tan(4x)/(1 - tan²(4x)), e) 4sinθcosθ, f) 2cos²(θ/2) - 1.

Solution

The equations provided in the image appear to involve trigonometric identities. Let me simplify each expression:


a) 2sin(5x)cos(5x)2 \sin(5x) \cos(5x)

Using the double angle identity: sin(2θ)=2sin(θ)cos(θ)\sin(2\theta) = 2 \sin(\theta) \cos(\theta) This simplifies to: sin(10x)\sin(10x)


b) cos2θsin2θ\cos^2\theta - \sin^2\theta

Using the cosine double angle identity: cos(2θ)=cos2θsin2θ\cos(2\theta) = \cos^2\theta - \sin^2\theta This simplifies to: cos(2θ)\cos(2\theta)


c) 12sin2(3x)1 - 2\sin^2(3x)

Using the cosine double angle identity: cos(2θ)=12sin2θ\cos(2\theta) = 1 - 2\sin^2\theta This simplifies to: cos(6x)\cos(6x)


d) 2tan(4x)1tan2(4x)\frac{2\tan(4x)}{1 - \tan^2(4x)}

Using the tangent double angle identity: tan(2θ)=2tan(θ)1tan2(θ)\tan(2\theta) = \frac{2\tan(\theta)}{1 - \tan^2(\theta)} This simplifies to: tan(8x)\tan(8x)


e) 4sinθcosθ4\sin\theta \cos\theta

Using the double angle identity: sin(2θ)=2sin(θ)cos(θ)\sin(2\theta) = 2 \sin(\theta) \cos(\theta) This simplifies to: 2sin(2θ)2\sin(2\theta)


f) 2cos2(θ2)12\cos^2\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right) - 1

Using the cosine double angle identity: cos(2θ)=2cos2(θ)1\cos(2\theta) = 2\cos^2(\theta) - 1 This simplifies to: cos(θ)\cos(\theta)
