Investigation Validation {2.1.3, 2.3.4, 2.3.5} (16 marks)
a) Use the identity
2 sinAcosB=sin ( A + B ) +sin ( A−B )
(or otherwise) to show that
2 sin[ x ]cos[(2 k+ 1) x ]=sin [ 2 ( k +1 ) x ] −sin [2 kx ]

b) Given that sin ( x ) ≠ 0 prove, by mathematical induction, that for all positive integers n,
sin ( 2nx )
cos (x)+cos (3 x)+ …+cos [ ( 2 n−1 ) x ] =
2 sin (x)
You may find the identity sin ( 2 A )=2 sinAcosA useful.
