To show that \( \sin (\theta+x)+\sin (\theta-x)=2 \sin \theta \cos x \), we can use the sine addition and subtraction formulas: \[ \sin(\theta+x) = \sin \theta \cos x + \cos \theta \sin x \] \[ \sin(\theta-x) = \sin \theta \cos x - \cos \theta \sin x \] Adding these two equations: \[ \sin(\theta+x) + \sin(\theta-x) = (\sin \theta \cos x + \cos \theta \sin x) + (\sin \theta \cos x - \cos \theta \sin x) \] \[ = 2 \sin \theta \cos x \] Hence, the first part is proven. Now, for the second part, we start with the expression we need to prove: \[ \sin 43^{\circ} + \sin 17^{\circ} \] Using our earlier result, we can represent this as \( \sin(\theta+x) + \sin(\theta-x) \) where we take \( \theta = 30^{\circ} \) and \( x = 13^{\circ} \): This forms: \[ \sin(30^{\circ} + 13^{\circ}) + \sin(30^{\circ} - 13^{\circ}) = \sin 43^{\circ} + \sin 17^{\circ} \] which by our earlier result is equal to: \[ 2 \sin 30^{\circ} \cos 13^{\circ} = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \cos 13^{\circ} = \cos 13^{\circ} \] Thus, we have \( \sin 43^{\circ} + \sin 17^{\circ} = \cos 13^{\circ} \), confirming the statement.
