Expressing the product of sines in terms of
cosine is also derived from the sum and difference identities for cosine. In this case, we will first subtract the two cosine formulas:
Then, we divide by 2 to isolate the product of sines:
Similarly we could express the product of cosines in terms of sine or derive other product-to-sum formulas.
The product-to-sum formulas
The
product-to-sum formulas are as follows:
Express the product as a sum or difference
Write
as a sum or difference.
We have the product of cosines, so we begin by writing the related formula. Then we substitute the given angles and simplify.
Some problems require the reverse of the process we just used. The
sum-to-product formulas allow us to express sums of sine or cosine as products. These formulas can be derived from the product-to-sum identities. For example, with a few substitutions, we can derive the sum-to-product identity for
sine . Let
and
Then,
Thus, replacing
and
in the product-to-sum formula with the substitute expressions, we have
The other sum-to-product identities are derived similarly.
Sum-to-product formulas
The
sum-to-product formulas are as follows:
Writing the difference of sines as a product
Write the following difference of sines expression as a product:
We begin by writing the formula for the difference of sines.
Substitute the values into the formula, and simplify.
Step 1: Find the mean. To find the mean, add up all the scores, then divide them by the number of scores. ...
Step 2: Find each score's deviation from the mean. ...
Step 3: Square each deviation from the mean. ...
Step 4: Find the sum of squares. ...
Step 5: Divide the sum of squares by n – 1 or N.
The sample of 16 students is taken. The average age in the sample was 22 years with astandard deviation of 6 years. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the age of the population.
Bhartdarshan' is an internet-based travel agency wherein customer can see videos of the cities they plant to visit. The number of hits daily is a normally distributed random variable with a mean of 10,000 and a standard deviation of 2,400
a. what is the probability of getting more than 12,000 hits?
b. what is the probability of getting fewer than 9,000 hits?
