the expression cos4x cos3x + sin4x sin3x is equivalent to
which one of the following is the answer:
1) sinx
2) sin7x
3) cosx
4) cos7x
it is cosx
thanks
Look up the equation for cos(x-y) and it should be obvious what the answer is.
Think of x as 4x and y as 3x.

Seca=4x + 1/x than secb + tana what please tell me after 2days

To find the equivalent expression for cos(4x) cos(3x) + sin(4x) sin(3x), we can use the trigonometric identity for the product of two cosines and two sines.
The identity is:
cos(a - b) = cos(a) cos(b) + sin(a) sin(b)
In our expression, we can rewrite cos(4x) cos(3x) + sin(4x) sin(3x) as cos(4x - 3x).
Simplifying the expression, we get:
cos(4x - 3x) = cos(x)
Therefore, the equivalent expression is cos(x), which corresponds to option 3) cosx.
