I have been tasked with simplifying this expression using Euler's equation:

$$f(t)=\cos(16t) \cos(6t)$$

I really can't figure out how to go about this. Can you push me in the right direction?

  • I think this question is using an incorrect tag. 'eulers-constant' refers to $\gamma \approx 0.577$, not $e \approx 2.718$. – Bladewood Sep 17 '18 at 10:17

I think you are to derive one of the Werner Formulas using Intuition behind euler's formula

As $\cos y+i\sin y=e^{iy}, e^{-iy}=?$

$$e^{iy}+e^{-iy}=?, e^{iy}-e^{-iy}=?$$

Replace $\cos16t\cos6t$ with exponentials and then multiply out

replace back exponentials with cosines.

  • I'm trying to make sense of what you've written and I almost get it I think.. but still not completely sure. With the Werner formula I can get: $2,\cos \left( 16,t \right) \cos \left( 6,t \right) =\cos \left( 22 ,t \right) +\cos \left( 10,t \right) $ Is that what you mean? – Boris Grunwald Sep 17 '18 at 10:26
  • @Boris, Yes, u r right – lab bhattacharjee Sep 17 '18 at 11:09
