Given that a+b = pi/2, prove that sin 2a+sin 2b=2cos(a-b)?

We'll transform the sum sin 2a+sin 2b into a
product:


sin 2a+sin 2b = 2sin [(2a+2b)/2]*cos
[(2a-2b)/2]


We'll factorize by 2 inside the
brackets:


sin 2a+sin 2b = 2sin [2(a+b)/2]*cos
[2(a-b)/2]


We'll simplify and we'll
get:


sin 2a+sin 2b = 2sin [(a+b)]*cos
[(a-b)]


But, from enunciation, a+b =
pi/2.


sin 2a+sin 2b = 2sin [(pi/2)]*cos
[(a-b)]


But sin pi/2 = 1


sin
2a+sin 2b = 2cos [(a-b)] q.e.d.
