I did the first one ... here : http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/511c70c9e4b06821731b25bc but second one is hard for me... can any1 help me?

For 2nd one did you try to use the tirg identities? e.g. sin(A+B)=sinAcosB+cosAsinB

3. mathslover Group Title

hmn... no but ok i will try it now..

4. mathslover Group Title

But where and how to use that formula @.Sam.

5. mathslover Group Title

OK leave it can any one prove that if : a + 2b + 3c = 0 then : $\large{\frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{b} + \frac{3}{c} = 0 }$

For $3 \sin (\theta +\psi )+2 \sin (\theta +\Psi )+\sin (\psi +\phi )$ You just use it for each term You'll get $\small 3 \sin(\theta )\cos (\psi )+3\cos (\theta ) \sin (\psi )+2\sin (\theta ) \cos(\Psi )+2 \cos(\theta ) \sin(\Psi )+\cos(\psi ) \sin(\phi )+ \sin(\psi ) \cos (\phi )$ Then try to factor it and apply ( sinθ+2sinϕ+3sinΨ=0 and cosθ+2cosϕ+3cosΨ=0 )

But is that proving or just verifying ?

its actually simplifying, try to factor that then your factored equation can apply this ( sinθ+2sinϕ+3sinΨ=0 and cosθ+2cosϕ+3cosΨ=0 ), which makes the equation smaller by equating them to 0.
