prove sin(pi/3+x)-sin(pi/3-x)=sin(x)

Solution

prove

sin (\frac{π}{3} + x) - sin (\frac{π}{3} - x) = sin (x)

Solution

True

Solution steps

sin (\frac{π}{3} + x) - sin (\frac{π}{3} - x) = sin (x)

Manipulating left side

sin (\frac{π}{3} + x) - sin (\frac{π}{3} - x)

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (\frac{π}{3} - x)

Use the Angle Difference identity:

sin (s - t) = sin (s) cos (t) - cos (s) sin (t)

= sin (\frac{π}{3}) cos (x) - cos (\frac{π}{3}) sin (x)

Simplify

sin (\frac{π}{3}) cos (x) - cos (\frac{π}{3}) sin (x) : \frac{3}{2} cos (x) - \frac{1}{2} sin (x)

sin (\frac{π}{3}) cos (x) - cos (\frac{π}{3}) sin (x)

Simplify

sin (\frac{π}{3}) : \frac{3}{2}

sin (\frac{π}{3})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (\frac{π}{3}) = \frac{3}{2}

Use the Angle Sum identity:

sin (s + t) = sin (s) cos (t) + cos (s) sin (t)

= sin (\frac{π}{3}) cos (x) + cos (\frac{π}{3}) sin (x)

Simplify

sin (\frac{π}{3}) cos (x) + cos (\frac{π}{3}) sin (x) : \frac{3}{2} cos (x) + \frac{1}{2} sin (x)

Group like terms

= \frac{1}{2} sin (x) + \frac{1}{2} sin (x) + \frac{3}{2} cos (x) - \frac{3}{2} cos (x)

Add similar elements:

\frac{3}{2} cos (x) - \frac{3}{2} cos (x) = 0

\frac{3}{2} cos (x) - \frac{3}{2} cos (x)

Factor out common term

cos (x)

= cos (x) (\frac{3}{2} - \frac{3}{2})

\frac{3}{2} - \frac{3}{2} = 0

\frac{3}{2} - \frac{3}{2}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

Add similar elements:

\frac{1}{2} sin (x) + \frac{1}{2} sin (x) = sin (x)

\frac{1}{2} sin (x) + \frac{1}{2} sin (x)

Factor out common term

\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}

Apply rule
