3. Sum and Difference of Angles Identities - 13. Trigonometric Identities and Equations - McGraw Hill Glencoe Algebra 2, 2012

We are given two functions modeling different signals.

First signal: & y=20sin(3θ+45^(∘)) Second signal: & y=20sin(3θ+225^(∘)) First we want to find the sum of these two functions. Before we do so, let's simplify each one of them by using one of the Sum and Difference Identities describing the sine of the sum of two angles. sin(A+B)=sin Acos B + cos Asin B We will now use this identity to simplify the first function.

y=20sin(3θ+45^(∘))

Substitute

sin(3θ+45^(∘))= sin3θcos45^(∘)+cos3θsin45^(∘)

y=20( sin3θcos45^(∘)+cos3θsin45^(∘))
