2sin5xcos3x=color(red)(sin(8x)+sin(2x)

Explanation:

We know "the "color(blue)"Product Identity"

color(blue)(2sinAcosB=sin(A+B)+sin(A-B)

Substitute , A=5x and B=3x

2sin5xcos3x=sin(5x+3x)+sin(5x-3x)

2sin5xcos3x=color(red)(sin(8x)+sin(2x)larr"sum of trig. functions."

sin8x+sin2x

Explanation:

"using the "color(blue)"product to sum formula"

•color(white)(x)2sinxcosy=sin(x+y)+sin(x-y)

"here "x=5x" and "y=3x

2sin5xcos3x

=sin(5x+3x)+sin(5x-3x)=sin8x+sin2x
