Chapter 5: Problem 112

Use the power-reducing formulas to rewrite \(\sin ^{6} x\) as an equivalent expression that does not contain powers of trigonometric functions greater than 1

Short Answer

Expert verified
The equivalent expression that does not contain powers of trigonometric functions greater than 1 is \(\frac{1}{8}(1 - 3\cos(2x) + \frac{3}{2}(1+\cos(4x)) - \cos^3(2x))\).

Step by step solution

01

Apply power-reducing formula

First, rewrite \(\sin^6(x)\) as \((\sin^2(x))^3\), which is equivalent. Then apply the power reducing formula for \(\sin^2(x)\), getting \(\left(\frac{1 - \cos(2x)}{2}\right)^3\).
02

Expand the expression

Expand the expression \(\left(\frac{1 - \cos(2x)}{2}\right)^3\) like a normal polynomial. The expanded form will be \(\frac{1}{8}(1 - 3\cos(2x) + 3\cos^2(2x) - \cos^3(2x))\). Since there is no term with power greater than two, further simplification is required.
03

Further Simplification

For the term with power of two, \(\cos^2(2x)\), apply the power-reducing formula for \(\cos^2(x)\) to get \(\frac{1}{2}(1 + \cos(4x))\). Substitute this back into the expression obtained in step 2 to get the final simplified expression as \(\frac{1}{8}(1 - 3\cos(2x) + \frac{3}{2}(1+\cos(4x)) - \cos^3(2x))\).

Solve each equation on the interval \([0,2 \pi)\) \(2 \sin ^{3} x-\sin ^{2} x-2 \sin x+1=0\) (Hint: Use factoring by grouping.)

Graph each side of the equation in the same viewing rectangle. If the graphs appear to coincide, verify that the equation is an identity. If the graphs do not appear to coincide, this indicates the equation is not an identity. In these exercises, find a value of \(x\) for which both sides are defined but not equal. $$\cos \left(x+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=\cos x+\cos \frac{\pi}{4}$$

Use this information to solve. A ball on a spring is pulled 4 inches below its rest position and then released. After t seconds, the balls distance, \(d\), in inches from its rest position is given by $$d=-4 \cos \frac{\pi}{3} t$$ Find all values of \(t\) for which the ball is 2 inches above its rest position.

Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. The word identity is used in different ways in additive identity, multiplicative identity, and trigonometric identity.

Solve each equation on the interval \([0,2 \pi)\) Do not use a calculator. $$\sin x+2 \sin \frac{x}{2}=\cos \frac{x}{2}+1$$
