Write the expression as the sine or cosine of an angle.

[tex]\[
\cos 7y \cos 3y - \sin 7y \sin 3y
\][/tex]

[tex]\[
\cos (7y + 3y)
\][/tex]

Hint: [tex]\(\sin (A \pm B) = \sin A \cos B \pm \cos A \sin B\)[/tex]

[tex]\(\cos (A \pm B) = \cos A \cos B \mp \sin A \sin B\)[/tex]


Sagot :

To rewrite the given expression [tex]\(\cos(7y) \cos(3y) - \sin(7y) \sin(3y)\)[/tex] as a single trigonometric function, we can use the trigonometric identities provided. Specifically, we will use the cosine addition identity.

The cosine addition identity states:
[tex]\[ \cos(A \pm B) = \cos(A) \cos(B) \mp \sin(A) \sin(B) \][/tex]

In this identity:
- The plus sign in the argument of the cosine function ([tex]\(\pm\)[/tex]) corresponds to the minus sign between the terms in the expression ([tex]\(\mp\)[/tex]).

Given the expression:
[tex]\[ \cos(7y) \cos(3y) - \sin(7y) \sin(3y) \][/tex]

We need to match this with one of the identities. Specifically, we notice that it fits the form of:
[tex]\[ \cos(A + B) = \cos(A) \cos(B) - \sin(A) \sin(B) \][/tex]

Here, we can see that:
- [tex]\(A = 7y\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(B = 3y\)[/tex]

Therefore, the given expression can be rewritten as:
[tex]\[ \cos(7y + 3y) \][/tex]

Simplifying inside the cosine function:
[tex]\[ \cos(10y) \][/tex]

So, the expression [tex]\(\cos(7y) \cos(3y) - \sin(7y) \sin(3y)\)[/tex] is equivalent to:
[tex]\[ \cos(10y) \][/tex]

Thus, the answer is:
[tex]\[ \cos(10y) \][/tex]
