Question
Prove that:
$\sin\text{x}+\sin3\text{x}+\sin5\text{x}+\sin7\text{x}=4\cos2\text{x}\sin4\text{x}\cos\text{x}$

Answer

It is known that $\sin\text{A}+\sin\text{B}=2\sin\Big(\frac{\text{A}+\text{B}}{2}\Big).\cos\Big(\frac{\text{A}-\text{B}}{2}\Big).$

 $\text{L.H.S.}=\sin\text{x}+\sin3\text{x}+\sin5\text{x}+\sin7\text{x}$

$=(\sin\text{x}+\sin5\text{x})+(\sin3\text{x}+\sin7\text{x})$

$=2\sin\Big(\frac{\text{x}+5\text{x}}{2}\Big).\cos\Big(\frac{\text{x}-5\text{x}}{2}\Big)+2\sin\Big(\frac{3\text{x}+7\text{x}}{2}\Big)\cos\Big(\frac{3\text{x}-7\text{x}}{2}\Big)$

$=2\sin3\text{x}\cos(-2\text{x})+2\sin5\text{x}\cos(-2\text{x})$

$=2\sin3\text{x}\cos2\text{x}+2\sin5\text{x}\cos2\text{x}$

$=2\cos2\text{x}[\sin3\text{x}+\sin5\text{x}]$

$=2\cos2\text{x}\Big[2\sin\Big(\frac{3\text{x}+5\text{x}}{2}\Big).\cos\Big(\frac{3\text{x}-5\text{x}}{2}\Big)\Big]$

$=2\cos2\text{x}[2\sin4\text{x}.\cos(-\text{x})]$

$=4\cos2\text{x}\sin4\text{x}\cos\text{x}=\text{R.H.S.}$
