8 sin(x/8) cos(x/2) cos(x/4) cos(x/8) is Equal to What? MCQ Solution

8 sin(x/8) cos(x/2) cos(x/4) cos(x/8) is Equal to What?

Question

\(8\sin\frac{x}{8}\cos\frac{x}{2}\cos\frac{x}{4}\cos\frac{x}{8}\) is equal to

(a) \(8\cos x\)
(b) \(\cos x\)
(c) \(8\sin x\)
(d) \(\sin x\)

Solution

Use the identity:

\[ 2\sin A\cos A=\sin 2A \]

\[ 8\sin\frac{x}{8}\cos\frac{x}{8} =4\sin\frac{x}{4} \]

\[ 4\sin\frac{x}{4}\cos\frac{x}{4} =2\sin\frac{x}{2} \]

\[ 2\sin\frac{x}{2}\cos\frac{x}{2} =\sin x \]

Therefore,

\[ 8\sin\frac{x}{8}\cos\frac{x}{2}\cos\frac{x}{4}\cos\frac{x}{8} =\sin x \]

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{\sin x} \]

Hence, the correct option is (d) \(\sin x\).
