Chapter 8: Q. 43 (page 550)

(a) Use the Product-to-Sum Formulas to express each product as a sum, and
(b) Use the method of adding y-coordinates to graph each function on the interval $[0, 2 π]$
$G (x) = \cos (4 x) \cos (2 x)$

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) $G (x) = \frac{1}{2} [c o s (6 x) + \cos (2 x)]$

(b)

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given Information

The given function is $G (x) = \cos (4 x) \cos (2 x)$

Part(a) Step 1. Calculation

First multiply and divide the given function by 2 and then use the product to sum formula to obtain the required result.

$f (x) = \frac{1}{2} (\cos (4 x + 2 x) + \cos (4 x - 2 x)) = \frac{1}{2} (\cos (6 x) + \cos (2 x))$

Part(b) Step 1. Explanation and Graph

Graph the component functions obtained in the above part in the same coordinate system and then select several values of x at which we can compute the value of y.

Plot the points and connect them to get the required graph.
