在运用积化和差公式时,如果形式为混合函数积时,化得的结果应为sin(α+β)与sin(α-β)的和或差;如果形式为同名函数积时,化得的结果应为cos(α+β)与cos(α-β)的和或差.
[活学活用]
化简:4sin(60°-θ)·sin θ·sin(60°+θ).
解:原式=-2sin θ·[cos 120°-cos (-2θ)]
=-2sin θ
=sin θ+2sin θcos 2θ
=sin θ+(sin 3θ-sin θ)
=sin 3θ.
和差化积 [典例] 已知cos α-cos β=,sin α-sin β=-,求sin(α+β)的值.
[解] 因为cos α-cos β=,
所以-2sinsin=.①
又因为sin α-sin β=-,
