Prove the identity. $$\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{6}+x\right)=\frac{1}{2}(\cos x+\sqrt{3} \sin x)$$
Use the half-angle formulas to simplify the expression. $$-\sqrt{\frac{1-\cos 8 x}{1+\cos 8 x}}$$
Find all solutions of the equation in the interval \([0,2 \pi) .\) Use a graphing utility to graph the equation and verify the solutions. $$\sin ^{2} 3 x-\sin ^{2} x=0$$
The Mach number \(M\) of a supersonic airplane is the ratio of its speed to the speed of sound. When an airplane travels faster than the speed of sound, the sound waves form a cone behind the airplane. The Mach number is related to the apex angle \(\theta\) of the cone by \(\sin (\theta / 2)=1 / M\) (a) Use a half-angle formula to rewrite the equation in terms of \(\cos \theta\). (b) Find the angle \(\theta\) that corresponds to a Mach number of 1. (c) Find the angle \(\theta\) that corresponds to a Mach number of 4.5. (d) The speed of sound is about 760 miles per hour. Determine the speed of an object with the Mach numbers from parts (b) and \((\mathrm{c})\).
Find the exact value of the expression. $$\frac{\tan (5 \pi / 6)-\tan (\pi / 6)}{1+\tan (5 \pi / 6) \tan (\pi / 6)}$$
