Prove that sinx+sin3x+sin5x=(1+2cos2x)*sin3x .

Since the added trigonometric functions are matching,
we'll apply the identity:


sin a + sin b = 2 sin
[(a+b)/2]*cos[(a-b)/2]


We'll add the first and the 3rd term
from the left side:


sin x + sin 5x = 2 sin
[(x+5x)/2]*cos[(x-5x)/2]


sin x + sin 5x = 2 sin
3x*cos(-2x)


Since the cosine function is even,we'll
get:


sin x + sin 5x = 2 sin 3x*cos
2x


We'll re-write the
expression:


sin 3x + 2 sin 3x*cos 2x =
(1+2cos2x)*sin3x


We'll factorize by sin 3x to the left
side:


sin 3x*(1 + 2cos 2x) =
(1+2cos2x)*sin3x


We notice that managing the
left side, we'll get LHS = RHS , therefore the given identity sin x + sin 3x + sin 5x =
(1+2cos2x)*sin3x is verified.

What accomplishments did Bill Clinton have as president?

Of course, Bill Clinton's presidency will be most clearly remembered for the fact that he was only the second president ever...
