these must be written as a single trig expression, in the form sin ax or cos bx.

a)2 sin 4x cos4x
b)2 cos^2 3x-1
c)1-2 sin^2 4x

I need to learn this!! if you can show me the steps and solve it so I can learn I'd be grateful!!!

1) apply the formula for sin 2z
2)3) cos^2z + sin^2 z =1 in both of these. substitute this for the 1 in the equations.

Can someone please help me do this problem? That would be great! Simplify the expression: sin theta + cos theta * cot theta I'll use A for theta. Cot A = sin A / cos A Therefore: sin A + (cos A * sin A / cos A) = sin A + sin A = 2
