All rights reserved EXAMPLE 3 Solution Finding a Triple-Angle Identity for Sines Verify the identity sin 3x = 3 sin x – 4 sin 3 x. sin 3x = sin (2x + x) = sin 2x cos x + cos 2x sin x = (2 sin x cos x) cos x + (1 – 2 sin 2 x) sin x = 2 sin x cos 2 x + sin x – 2 sin 3 x = 2 sin x (1 – sin 2 x) + sin x – 2 sin 3 x = 2 sin x – 2 sin 3 x + sin x – 2 sin 3 x = 3 sin x – 4 sin 3 x

11. 11 © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved HALF-ANGLE IDENTITIES The sign, + or –, depends on the quadrant in which lies.

12. 12 © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved EXAMPLE 6 Using Half-Angle Identities Use a half-angle formula to find the exact value of cos 157.5º. Solution Because 157.5º =, use the half-angle identity for cos with θ = 315°. Because lies in quadrant II, cos is negative.
