15. Sound waves can be modeled by the equations of the form 𝑦1 = 20 sin (3x + θ). A wave traveling in the opposite
direction can be modeled by 𝑦2 = 20 sin (3x – θ). Show that 𝑦1 + 𝑦2 = 40 sin 3x cos θ.
𝒚𝟏 + 𝒚𝟐 = 20 sin (3x + θ) + 20 sin (3x – θ)
= 20 (sin 3x cos θ + cos 3x sin θ) + 20 (sin 3x cos θ – cos 3x sin θ)
= 40 sin 3x cos θ ✓
