Find k if ksin6x=sin2x given cos6xcos2x=16.
Second method:
Note that we can rewrite the given equality 6cos6x=cos2x as cos6xcos2x=16, also, our target expression as sin6xsin2x=1k.
If we are to add these the expressions on the LHS of both equations up, we get:
cos6xcos2x+sin6xsin2x=sin2xcos6x+cos2xsin6xcos2xsin2x=sin(2x+6x)cos2xsin2x=sin8x(sin4x2)=2(2sin4xcos4xsin4x)=4cos4x
Aww..this doesn't seem like a promising step, what if we subtract them?
sin6xsin2x−cos6xcos2x=sin6xcos2x−cos6xsin2xsin2xcos2x=sin(6x−2x)sin2xcos2x=sin4x(sin4x2)=2
Hey, this is the righteous path that we are now one step away from the answer.
Since we know cos6xcos2x=16, we get:
sin6xsin2x−cos6xcos2x=2
sin6xsin2x=cos6xcos2x+2=16+2=136
And we're done!
