trigonometry - Proof of a trigonometric expression



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=π3θsin4θ=sin(π3θ)=sin3θ



1sin3θ+1sin2θ



=1sin4θ+1sin2θ



=sin4θ+sin2θsin4θsin2θ



=2sin3θcosθsin4θsin2θ Using sin2C+sin2D=2sin(C+D)cos(CD)




=2cosθ2sinθcosθ



=1sinθ



All cancellations are legal as sinrθ0 for 7
