CAPSTONE Consider the function given by (a) Use the power-reducing formulas to write the function in terms of cosine to the first power. (b) Determine another way of rewriting the function. Use a graphing utility to rule out incorrectly rewritten functions. (c) Add a trigonometric term to the function so that it becomes a perfect square trinomial. Rewrite the function as a perfect square trinomial minus the term that you added. Use a graphing utility to rule out incorrectly rewritten functions. (d) Rewrite the result of part (c) in terms of the sine of a double angle. Use a graphing utility to rule out incorrectly rewritten functions. (e) When you rewrite a trigonometric expression, the result may not be the same as a friends. Does this mean that one of you is wrong? Explain.
