Simplify trigonometric expression using trigonometric identities












3












$begingroup$


I have the trigonometric expression: $$2sin x +2sin left(frac{pi} {3} -xright) $$
and it should simplified in: $$sin x + sqrt 3 cos x$$ but I do not know what formulas to apply. Could you tell me how to simplify it?

Using the formula for $sin (alpha - beta)$ you obtain



begin{align}
2&sin x +2sin left(frac{pi} {3} -xright)\
= 2&sin x +2left[sin left(frac{pi} {3}right) cos x - cosleft(frac{pi} {3}right) sin xright]\
= 2&sin x + 2left[{sqrt 3 over 2} cos x - frac 1 2 sin xright]\[1ex]
= 2&sin x + sqrt 3 cos x - sin x\[1em] = , &color{red}{sin x + sqrt 3 cos x}
