Question
Let fk(x) =
(sink x + cosk x) where x ∈ R and k ≥ 1.
Then f4(x) - f6(x) equals
(sink x + cosk x) where x ∈ R and k ≥ 1. Then f4(x) - f6(x) equals
Options
A.

B.

C.

D.

Solution
fk(x) =
(sink x + cosk x)
f4(x) - f6(x) =
(sin4x + cos4x) -
(sin6x + cos6x)
=
[1 - 2 sin2 x cos2 x] -
[1 - 3 sin2 x cos2x]

(sink x + cosk x)f4(x) - f6(x) =
(sin4x + cos4x) -
(sin6x + cos6x)=
[1 - 2 sin2 x cos2 x] -
[1 - 3 sin2 x cos2x]
