Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related TRIG.86 Select an efficient identity strategy for a given problem skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which first step is most efficient to simplify: cos(6x)cos(2x) + sin(6x)sin(2x)?

AUse the double-angle identity for cosine.

BUse a product-to-sum identity.

CUse periodicity with 360 degrees.

DUse the cosine subtraction identity to rewrite it as cos(6x - 2x).

Solution & Explanation:The pattern cos(A)cos(B) + sin(A)sin(B) equals cos(A - B). So the expression becomes cos(4x) immediately.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which first step is most efficient to rewrite cos(7x)sin(3x) + sin(7x)cos(3x) as a single trig function?

AUse a sum-to-product identity.

BUse periodicity with 180 degrees.

CUse the sine addition identity to rewrite it as sin(7x + 3x).

DRewrite everything using reciprocal identities.

Solution & Explanation:The pattern sin(A)cos(B) + cos(A)sin(B) equals sin(A + B). Here it becomes sin(10x) in one step.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Which first step is most efficient to simplify: sin(8x)cos(2x) - cos(8x)sin(2x)?

AUse a product-to-sum identity.

BRecognize the sine subtraction identity to rewrite it as sin(8x - 2x).

CUse a power-reduction identity.

DUse the Pythagorean identity.

Solution & Explanation:The expression matches sin(A)cos(B) - cos(A)sin(B) = sin(A - B). With A = 8x and B = 2x, it becomes sin(6x) immediately.
