Hello, I am trying to find
∫cos(7Θ)cos(5Θ)dΘ
but I am unsure how to begin. My professor has given the solution and he says to use a trig identity to rewrite as
(1/2)∫cos(2Θ)+cos(12Θ)dΘ
and from there solve as
(1/2)((1/2)sin(2Θ) + (1/12)sin(12Θ)) + C
I understand how he goes from the rewriting to the solution, but I don't get how he got to the rewriting. What trig identity is used?
Sorry if the formatting is weird; this is my first post.
