Problem and Solution

We use the trigonometric formulae for $ \cos(A - B) $ and $ \cos(A + B) $ to solve the given problems.

Part (a): Show that $ \cos(A - B) - \cos(A + B) = 2 \sin A \sin B $

Using the sum-to-product identities:

$ \cos(A - B) = \cos A \cos B + \sin A \sin B, $

$ \cos(A + B) = \cos A \cos B - \sin A \sin B. $

Subtracting these two:

$ \cos(A - B) - \cos(A + B) = (\cos A \cos B + \sin A \sin B) - (\cos A \cos B - \sin A \sin B). $

Simplify:

$ \cos(A - B) - \cos(A + B) = 2 \sin A \sin B. $

Part (b): Show that $ \cos 5\theta - \cos 9\theta = 2 \sin 7\theta \sin 2\theta $

Using the result from Part (a) with $ A = 7\theta $ and $ B = 2\theta $:

$ \cos(A - B) - \cos(A + B) = 2 \sin A \sin B. $

Substitute $ A = 7\theta $ and $ B = 2\theta $:

$ \cos(7\theta - 2\theta) - \cos(7\theta + 2\theta) = 2 \sin(7\theta) \sin(2\theta). $

Simplify:

$ \cos 5\theta - \cos 9\theta = 2 \sin 7\theta \sin 2\theta. $

Part (c): Solve $ \cos 5\theta - \cos 9\theta = \sqrt{3} \sin 7\theta $ for $ 0 < \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{3} $

Using the result from Part (b):

$ \cos 5\theta - \cos 9\theta = 2 \sin 7\theta \sin 2\theta. $

Substitute into the equation:

$ 2 \sin 7\theta \sin 2\theta = \sqrt{3} \sin 7\theta. $

Solve $ \sin 7\theta = 0 $

We know that $ \sin x = 0 $ when:

$ x = n\pi, \quad n \in \mathbb{Z}. $

For $ \sin 7\theta = 0 $, we have:

$ 7\theta = n\pi, \quad n \in \mathbb{Z}. $

Solve for $ \theta $:

$ \theta = \frac{n\pi}{7}. $

Restrict the solution to $ 0 < \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{3} $

From the given condition, $ 0 < \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{3} $. Substituting $ \theta = \frac{n\pi}{7} $, we require:

$ 0 < \frac{n\pi}{7} \leq \frac{\pi}{3}. $

Divide through by $ \pi $:

$ 0 < \frac{n}{7} \leq \frac{1}{3}. $

Multiply through by $ 7 $:

$ 0 < n \leq \frac{7}{3}. $

Since $ n $ must be an integer, the only possible values are $ n = 1, \text{ or } n=2 $.

Substitute $ n = 1 $ back into $ \theta = \frac{n\pi}{7} $:

$ \theta = \frac{\pi}{7}. $

Substitute $ n = 2 $ back into $ \theta = \frac{n\pi}{7} $:

$ \theta = \frac{2\pi}{7}. $

Divide through by $ \sin 7\theta $ (assuming $ \sin 7\theta \neq 0 $):

$ 2 \sin 2\theta = \sqrt{3}. $

Solve for $ \sin 2\theta $:

$ \sin 2\theta = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}. $

The angle $ 2\theta $ corresponding to $ \sin 2\theta = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} $ is:

$ 2\theta = \frac{\pi}{3} \text{ (or) } \frac{2\pi}{3}. $

Solve for $ \theta $:

$ \theta = \frac{\pi}{6} \text{ (or) } \frac{\pi}{3}. $

Final Answer

$ \boxed{\theta = \frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{\pi}{3}, \frac{\pi}{7}, \frac{2\pi}{7}.} $

Part (d): Evaluate $ \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{7}} 8 \sin 7x \cos 2x \tan 2x \, dx $

We are tasked with evaluating:

$ I = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{7}} 8 \sin 7x \cos 2x \tan 2x \, dx. $

Step 1: Simplify the integrand

Recall that $ \tan 2x = \frac{\sin 2x}{\cos 2x} $. Substituting this into the integral:

$ I = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{7}} 8 \sin 7x \cos 2x \cdot \frac{\sin 2x}{\cos 2x} \, dx. $

Simplify:

$ I = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{7}} 8 \sin 7x \sin 2x \, dx. $

Step 2: Use the product-to-sum identities

Using the product-to-sum identity:

$ \sin A \sin B = \frac{1}{2} \left[ \cos(A - B) - \cos(A + B) \right], $

we rewrite the integrand:

$ \sin 7x \sin 2x = \frac{1}{2} \left[ \cos(7x - 2x) - \cos(7x + 2x) \right]. $

Substitute this into the integral:

$ I = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{7}} 8 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \left[ \cos(5x) - \cos(9x) \right] \, dx. $

Simplify:

$ I = 4 \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{7}} \cos(5x) \, dx - 4 \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{7}} \cos(9x) \, dx. $

Step 3: Integrate each term

The integral of $ \cos(kx) $ is:

$ \int \cos(kx) \, dx = \frac{\sin(kx)}{k}. $

Using this, we compute each term:

1. For $ \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{7}} \cos(5x) \, dx $:

$ \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{7}} \cos(5x) \, dx = \left[ \frac{\sin(5x)}{5} \right]_0^{\frac{\pi}{7}} = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{5\pi}{7}\right)}{5} - \frac{\sin(0)}{5}. $

Simplify:

$ \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{7}} \cos(5x) \, dx = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{5\pi}{7}\right)}{5}. $

2. For $ \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{7}} \cos(9x) \, dx $:

$ \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{7}} \cos(9x) \, dx = \left[ \frac{\sin(9x)}{9} \right]_0^{\frac{\pi}{7}} = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{9\pi}{7}\right)}{9} - \frac{\sin(0)}{9}. $

Simplify:

$ \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{7}} \cos(9x) \, dx = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{9\pi}{7}\right)}{9}. $

Step 4: Combine the results

Substitute back into $ I $:

$ I = 4 \left( \frac{\sin\left(\frac{5\pi}{7}\right)}{5} \right) - 4 \left( \frac{\sin\left(\frac{9\pi}{7}\right)}{9} \right). $

Step 5: Evaluate numerically

Using numerical approximation (to 3 decimal places):

$ \sin\left(\frac{5\pi}{7}\right) \approx 0.7818, \quad \sin\left(\frac{9\pi}{7}\right) \approx -0.7818. $

Substitute these values:

$ I = 4 \left( \frac{0.7818}{5} \right) - 4 \left( \frac{-0.7818}{9} \right). $

Simplify:

$ I = 4 \cdot 0.1563 + 4 \cdot 0.0868. $

$ I = 0.6254 + 0.3474 = 0.9728. $

Final Answer

$ \boxed{I \approx 0.973} $
