Proove sin(45+x) + sin(45-x)=2^1/2*cosx.

We'll apply the sine function to the sum and the
difference of angles 45 and x:


sin (a-b) = sin a*cos b -
sin b*cos a


sin (a+b) = sin a*cos b + sin b*cos
a


We'll put a = 45 and b =
x.


sin (45+x) = sin 45*cos x + sin x*cos
45


sin (45+x) = sqrt2*cos x/2 + sqrt2*sin x/2
(1)


sin (45-x) = sin 45*cos x - sin x*cos
45


sin (45-x) = sqrt2*cos x/2 - sqrt2*sin x/2
(2)


Now, we'll substitute (1) and (2) in the given
identity:


 sin(45+x) + sin(45-x) =
sqrt2*cosx


sqrt2*cos x/2 + sqrt2*sin x/2 + sqrt2*cos x/2 -
sqrt2*sin x/2 = sqrt2*cosx


We'll combine and eliminate like
terms:


2*sqrt2*cos x/2 =
sqrt2*cosx


We'll simplify and we'll
get:


sqrt2*cosx =
sqrt2*cosx


The identity sin(45+x) + sin(45-x)
= sqrt2*cosx is true.

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
