2. Find the equation to match:

Explanation

The correct equation provided is y = 4cos⁡(2x), not the incorrect alternatives.

Submit
3. Write out the Sum and Difference Formulas (there are 6).

Explanation

The correct Sum and Difference Formulas in trigonometry are: Sine of Sum: sin(A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B, Cosine of Sum: cos(A + B) = cos A cos B - sin A sin B, Tangent of Sum: tan(A + B) = (tan A + tan B) / (1 - tan A tan B), Sine of Difference: sin(A - B) = sin A cos B - cos A sin B, Cosine of Difference: cos(A - B) = cos A cos B + sin A sin B, Tangent of Difference: tan(A - B) = (tan A - tan B) / (1 + tan A tan B.

Submit
4. Write out the Double Angle Formulas(there are 5).

Explanation

The Double Angle Formulas in trigonometry are used to express trigonometric functions of double angles in terms of functions of a single angle. The correct formulas are sin(2θ) = 2sin(θ)cos(θ), cos(2θ) = cos^2(θ) - sin^2(θ), tan(2θ) = (2tan(θ))/(1 - tan^2(θ)), csc(2θ) = 2csc(θ)cos(θ), and sec(2θ) = sec^2(θ) - tan^2(θ). The incorrect answers provided do not accurately represent the Double Angle Formulas.

Submit
5. Use the double angle formulae for the given values: cos2A, A = pi/4.
Submit
6. Verify the identity: tan2x = (2tan x)/(1 - tan^2 x).

Explanation

The correct answer involves splitting the angle, using the Sum and Difference Formulae, and simplifying to achieve the desired identity.

Submit
7. Write the Half - Angle Formulas (For sin, cos, tan).

Explanation

The correct half-angle formulas for sin, cos, and tan involve square roots and are derived from the double angle formulas. Incorrect answers (a), (b), and (c) do not accurately represent the half-angle formulas for trigonometric functions.

Submit
8. Rewrite the expression cos^4 x in terms of the first power of cosine.

Explanation

The correct answer is obtained by applying the Power Reduction Formulae to split the power of cosine and simplify the expression step by step. Incorrect answers may result from errors in applying the formulas or misinterpretation of the question.

Submit
9. Rewrite the expression in terms of the first power of cosine: sin^2 x cos^2 x

Explanation

The correct answer is derived using the power reduction formulae to simplify sin^2 x cos^2 x to 1/8(1 - cos4x). The incorrect answers deviate by using incorrect coefficients or skip steps in the simplification process.

Submit
10. Rewrite the product as a sum (or difference) of sines and cosines of positive arguments sin3x cos5x.

Explanation

The correct way to rewrite sin3x cos5x as a sum of sines and cosines is to use the product to sum formulae, resulting in 1/2(sin8x - sin2x). This transforms the product into a combination of sine functions with positive arguments.

Submit
11. Rewrite the product as a sum (or difference) of sines and cosines of positive arguments: cos4x cos7x

Explanation

To rewrite the product cos4x cos7x as a sum or difference of sines and cosines of positive arguments, we can use the product to sum formula. Therefore, cos4x cos7x = 1/2[cos(4x - 7x) + cos(4x + 7x)] = 1/2[cos(-3x) + cos(11x)] = 1/2[cos(3x) + cos(11x)] = 1/2(cos3x + cos11x).

Submit
12. Rewrite the sum (or difference) as a product of sines and cosines of positive arguments: sin3x + sin9x?

Explanation

When writing a sum or difference of sines as a product of sines and cosines, the formula to be used is 2sin((x + y)/2)cos((x - y)/2). In this case, sin3x + sin9x simplifies to 2 sin6x cos3x.

Submit
13. Rewrite the sum (or difference) as a product of sines and cosines of positive arguments. cos8x - cos10x

Explanation

The correct answer is obtained by applying the Sum to Product Formulae for trigonometric functions, resulting in 2 sin9x sinx.

Submit
14. Write out the Product to Sum Formulas (for sin and cos ... there are four).

Explanation

The Product to Sum Formulas are used to expand the product of two trigonometric functions into the sum of trigonometric functions. Each formula involves a combination of sine and cosine functions, either added or subtracted. The correct formulas represent the relationships between sine and cosine that hold true when multiplying two trigonometric functions.
