How can verify this equation is an identity? Sin(α+ß)Sin(α-ß)=Sin²α-Sin²ß
3 Answers
See below.
Explanation:
Use the addition and subtraction formulas for sine.
#sin(A + B) = sinAcosB + sinBcosA#
#sin(A - B) = sinAcosB - sinBcosA#
Now
#(sin alphacosbeta+ sinbetacosalpha)(sinalphacosbeta - sinbetacosalpha) = sin^2alpha - sin^2beta#
On the left it's clearly a difference of squares.
#sin^2alphacos^2beta - sin^2betacos^2alpha = sin^2alpha - sin^2beta#
#sin^2alpha(1 - sin^2beta) - sin^2beta(1 - sin^2alpha) = sin^2alpha - sin^2beta#
#sin^2alpha - sin^2alphasin^2beta - sin^2beta + sin^2alphasin^2beta = sin^2alpha - sin^2beta#
#sin^2alpha - sin^2beta = sin^2alpha - sin^2beta#
As required.
