utilisι :
cos (a + b) = cos a cos b sin a sin b
sin (a + b) = sin a cos b + cos a sin b
cos 2x = 2 cos2
x 1
sin 2x = 2 cos x sin x
sin2 x = 1
cos2 x
Solution :
Tout dabord, posons X = cos x et exprimons cos 5x en fonction de X :
cos 5x = cos(3x + 2x) =
cos 3x cos 2x sin 3x sin 2x
cos 5x = cos(2x + x) (2
cos2 x 1) sin(2x + x) 2 cos x
sin x
cos 5x = (cos 2x cos x sin 2x sin x) (2 X2 1) (sin 2x cos x + cos 2x sin x) 2 X
sin x
cos 5x = [(2 X2 1) X 2 X sin x sin
x] (2 X2 1) [2 X sin x X
+ (2 X2 1) sin x] 2 X sin x
cos 5x = [2 X3 X 2 X sin2
x] (2 X2 1) [2 X2 + 2 X2 1] 2 X sin2
x
cos 5x = [2 X3 X 2 X (1 X2)]
(2 X2 1) [4 X2 1] 2 X (1 X2)
cos 5x = (2 X3 X 2 X + 2 X3)
(2 X2 1) (4 X2 1) (2 X 2 X3)
cos 5x = (4 X3 3 X ) (2 X2
1) (4 X2 1) (2 X 2 X3)
cos 5x = (8 X5 4 X3 6
X3 + 3 X) (8 X3 8 X5 2 X + 2 X3)
cos 5x = 8 X5 4 X3 6 X3
+ 3 X 8 X3 + 8 X5 + 2 X 2 X3
cos 5x = 16 X5 20 X3 + 5
