Let f(x)=(sinπx7)−1. Prove that f(3)+f(2)=f(1).
This is another trig question, which I cannot get how to start with. Sum to product identities also did not work.
Answer
Let 7θ=π,4θ=π−3θ⟹sin4θ=sin(π−3θ)=sin3θ
1sin3θ+1sin2θ
=1sin4θ+1sin2θ
=sin4θ+sin2θsin4θsin2θ
=2sin3θcosθsin4θsin2θ Using sin2C+sin2D=2sin(C+D)cos(C−D)
=2cosθ2sinθcosθ
=1sinθ
All cancellations are legal as sinrθ≠0 for 7∤
