The expression equivalent to sin 3x + sin x is 2 cos x cos 2x.

The expression equivalent to sin 3x− sin x is 2 sin x cos 2x.

These are equations that relate the sine, cosine, and tangent functions of one or more angles.

The sum-to-product trigonometric identity states that the sum of two sines can be expressed as the product of two cosines:

sin(x)+sin(y)=2cos(
(x-y)/(2) )cos(
(x+y)/(2) )

We can rewrite the expression in the first drop-down menu as:

sin(3x)+sin(x)=2cos (
(3x-x)/(2) ) cos (
(3x+x)/(2) )

Simplifying the expression, we get:

2cos(x)cos(2x)

Therefore, the correct answer for the first drop-down menu is 2cosxcos2x.

The difference-to-product trigonometric identity states that the difference of two sines can be expressed as the product of two sines:

sin(x)−sin(y)=2sin (
(x-y)/(2) ) cos (
(x+y)/(2) )

We can rewrite the expression in the second drop-down menu as:

sin(3x)−sin(x)=2sin (
(3x-x)/(2) ) cos (
(3x+x)/(2) )

Therefore, the correct answer for the second drop-down menu is 2sinxcos2x.
