Re: Trig Proof Help

hi Amrita,

Do you know the formulas for sinX + sinY and sinX - sinY ?

Use difference of two squares and these two formulas.

Hi;

Have not seen you in a few days.

Yes, you have. Because my Watari gave me this sum and I gave Amrita this sum

Re: Trig Proof Help

hi Agnishom,

I haven't tried this yet (sound familiar ?) but this should work.

Start with (sin^2(x) + cos^2(x)) ^6 to get an expression for sin^6 + cos^6.

Use this to remove those terms from the expression.

Now do the same again with (sin^2(x) + cos^2(x)) ^4 to remove the fourth powers.

What's left will only have sin^2 and cos^2 terms so you should be able to twist it into the required result.  smile

Hope I'm right.  :fingers crossed smiley

Bob

I'm hoping the odd powers cancel out.

That is tedious.

Yes, but then again, you should have said "Have you got your glasses on Bob?  I think you meant:

and

Then start with the LHS of the required identity, multiply out the brackets, cancel some bits, factorise and use s^2 + c^2 = 1 lots of times and you'll get to

3 + 6 + 4 = 13 QED.

So get on with it!
