Problem 74
If two waves of the same frequency, velocity, and amplitude are traveling along a string in opposite directions, they can be represented by the equations \(Y_{1}=A \sin (k x-\omega t)\) and \(Y_{2}=A \sin (k x+\omega t) .\) Use the sum and difference formulas for sine to show the result \(\mathrm{Y}_{R}=\mathrm{Y}_{1}+\mathrm{Y}_{2}\) of these waves can be expressed as \(\mathrm{Y}_{R}=2 A \sin (k x) \cos (\omega t)\).
Problem 117
Working with identities: Compute the value of \(\cos 15^{\circ}\) two ways, first using the half-angle identity for cosine, and second using the difference identity for cosine.
