ExamplesExpress 3 cos x + 4 sin x in the form R cos( x - )

R cos( x - ) = R cos x cos + R sin x sin

3 cos x + 4 sin x = R cos x cos + R sin x sin

R cos = 3 [1] R sin = 4 [2]

[1]2 + [2]2 : R2 sin2 x + R2 cos2 x = 32 + 42

R2(sin2 x + cos2 x ) = 32 + 42

R2= 32 + 42 = 25 R = 5

3 cos x + 4 sin x = 5 cos( x + 53.1 )

ExamplesExpress 12 cos x + 5 sin x in the form R sin( x + )

R sin( x + ) = R sin x cos + R cos x sin

12 cos x + 5 sin x = R sin x cos + R cos x sin

R cos = 12 [1] R sin = 5 [2]

[1]2 + [2]2 : R2 cos2 x + R2 sin2 x = 122 + 52

R2(cos2 x + sin2 x ) = 122 + 52

R2= 122 + 52 = 169 R = 13

R sin( x + ) = R sin x cos + R cos x sin

7 sin x + 3 cos x = R sin x cos + R cos x sin

R cos = 7 [1] R sin = 3 [2]

R2 = 72 + 32 R = 7.62

[2] [1]: tan = 3/7 = 0.405c (Radians)

7 sin x + 3 cos x = 7.62 sin( x + 0.405)

7.62 sin( x + 0.405 ) = 6 x + 0.405 = sin-1(6/7.62)
