Prove the following:

(a) sin space left parenthesis straight x plus straight y right parenthesis space equals space sinx space cosy space plus space cosx space siny
(b) WiredFaculty

Solution

We know that:
       cos left parenthesis straight x plus straight y right parenthesis space equals space cosx space cosy minus sinx space siny                                               ...(i)
       cos left parenthesis straight x minus straight y right parenthesis space equals space cosx space cosy space plus space sinx space siny                                               ...(ii)
                cos open parentheses straight pi over 2 minus straight x close parentheses space equals space sinx                                                             ....(iii)
               sin open parentheses straight pi over 2 minus straight x close parentheses space equals space cosx                                                               ...(iv)
(a) Replacing x by x + y, in (iii), we get
            WiredFaculty                                                  ...(v)
Also,  WiredFacultycos open parentheses straight pi over 2 minus left parenthesis straight x plus straight y right parenthesis close parentheses equals cos open square brackets open parentheses straight pi over 2 minus straight x close parentheses minus straight y close square brackets equals cos open parentheses straight pi over 2 minus straight x close parentheses cosy plus sin open parentheses straight pi over 2 minus straight x close parentheses siny
                                                                                                      [By using (ii)]
                                 = sinx cosy + cosx siny                   [By using (iii) and (iv)]
Hence,             sin(x+y) = sinx cosy + cosx siny
(b) Replacing y by - y in (v), we get
         sin(x-y) = sinx cos(-y) + cosx sin(-y)
                      = sinx cosy - cosx siny         [∵ cos(-y) = cosy, sin(-y) = - siny]
Hence,   sin(x-y) = sinx cosy - cosx siny
    
        
       WiredFaculty
