sin[(pi/4)+A]*sin[(pi/4)-A]
=1/2(2sin(45+A)sin(45-A))
=1/2(2cos 2A - cos 90)
=1/2 cos 2A
What do u think about that?
Using the sum and difference identities for the sine, we have......
[sin(pi/4)cosA + sin(A) cos(pi/4)] * [sin(pi/4)cosA - sinAcos(pi/4)] =
[sin(pi/4)cosA]2 - (sin(A)cos(pi/4)]2 =
[(1/2)cos2A] - [(1/2)sin2(A)] =
(1/2)[cos2A - sin2A] =
(1/2)cos2A
Which is the same as your answer, Sasini ..... !!!!

Hi Sasini,
$$sin[\frac{\pi}{4}+A]*sin[\frac{\pi}{4}-A]\\\\
=[sin\frac{\pi}{4}cosA+cos\frac{\pi}{4}sinA][sin\frac{\pi}{4}cosA-cos\frac{\pi}{4}sinA]\\\\
\mbox{The two brackets are the same except one has a minus and the other a plus so this simplifies to the difference of 2 squares}\\\\
=[sin\frac{\pi}{4}cosA]^2-[cos\frac{\pi}{4}sinA]^2\\\\
=[sin^2\frac{\pi}{4}*cos^2A]-[cos^2\frac{\pi}{4}*sin^2A]\\\\
=[\frac{1}{2}cos^2A]-[\frac{1}{2}sin^2A]\\\\
=\frac{cos^2A-sin^2A}{2}\\\\
or\qquad
=\frac{1-2sin^2A}{2}\\\\
or\qquad
=\frac{cos2A}{2}$$
I got the same as well
