1.4 diagram 1
Using suitable results for sin(A+B)\displaystyle \mathrm{sin}\,(A+B) and sin(AB)\displaystyle \mathrm{sin}\,(A-B),
(a) show that
2sin4xcosx=sin5x+sin3x.2\mathrm{sin}\,4x\,\mathrm{cos}\,x=\mathrm{sin}\,5x+\mathrm{sin}\,3x.
(3)
Figure 4 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation
y=6sin4xcosx.y=6\mathrm{sin}\,4x\,\mathrm{cos}\,x.
(b) Use calculus to find the total area of the regions bounded by the curve and the x\displaystyle x-axis between x=0\displaystyle x=0 and x=π2\displaystyle x=\frac{\pi}{2}.
Give your answer to 3 significant figures.
