Let’s walk through this problem step-by-step! --- ## **Given** You are given: \[ x(t) = \sum_{k=1}^{3} A_k \cos(2\pi f_k t + \phi_k) \] with parameters: - \( A_1 = 5 \), \( A_2 = 9 \), \( A_3 = 2 \) - \( \phi_1 = \frac{1}{4}\pi \), \( \phi_2 = \frac{1}{8}\pi \), \( \phi_3 = \) - \( f_1 = f_2 = f_3 = f \) You are asked to write \( x(t) \) as: \[ x(t) = A \cos(\omega t + \phi) \] where \( \omega = 2\pi f \). --- ## **Step 1: Expand the Sum** Since all frequencies are equal, set \( \omega = 2\pi f \): \[ x(t) = 5\cos(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{4}) + 9\cos(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{8}) + 2\cos(\omega t) \] --- ## **Step 2: Express Each Cosine in Terms of \(\cos(\omega t)\) and \(\sin(\omega t)\)** Recall: \[ \cos(\omega t + \phi) = \cos(\phi)\cos(\omega t) - \sin(\phi)\sin(\omega t) \] Apply to each term: - \( 5\cos(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{4}) = 5\left[\cos(\frac{\pi}{4})\cos(\omega t) - \sin(\frac{\pi}{4})\sin(\omega t)\right] \) - \( 9\cos(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{8}) = 9\left[\cos(\frac{\pi}{8})\cos(\omega t) - \sin(\frac{\pi}{8})\sin(\omega t)\right] \) - \( 2\cos(\omega t) = 2\cos(\omega t) \) (since cosine of is 1, sine is ) --- ## **Step 3: Combine Terms** Group all \(\cos(\omega t)\) and \(\sin(\omega t)\) coefficients: \[ x(t) = [5\cos(\frac{\pi}{4}) + 9\cos(\frac{\pi}{8}) + 2] \cos(\omega t) - [5\sin(\frac{\pi}{4}) + 9\sin(\frac{\pi}{8})]\sin(\omega t) \] Let: - \( C = 5\cos(\frac{\pi}{4}) + 9\cos(\frac{\pi}{8}) + 2 \) - \( S = 5\sin(\frac{\pi}{4}) + 9\sin(\frac{\pi}{8}) \) So, \[ x(t) = C\cos(\omega t) - S\sin(\omega t) \] --- ## **Step 4: Write as a Single Cosine** Recall: \[ C\cos(\omega t) - S\sin(\omega t) = A\cos(\omega t + \phi) \] where: - \( A = \sqrt{C^2 + S^2} \) - \( \phi = -\arctan\left(\frac{S}{C}\right) \) --- ## **Step 5: Plug in Values** - \( \cos(\frac{\pi}{4}) = \sin(\frac{\pi}{4}) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \approx .7071 \) - \( \cos(\frac{\pi}{8}) \approx .9239 \) - \( \sin(\frac{\pi}{8}) \approx .3827 \) Calculate: \[ C = 5 \times .7071 + 9 \times .9239 + 2 = 3.5355 + 8.3151 + 2 = 13.8506 \] \[ S = 5 \times .7071 + 9 \times .3827 = 3.5355 + 3.4443 = 6.9798 \] --- ## **Step 6: Find \(A\) and \(\phi\)** \[ A = \sqrt{C^2 + S^2} = \sqrt{(13.8506)^2 + (6.9798)^2} \approx \sqrt{192.02 + 48.73} \approx \sqrt{240.75} \approx 15.51 \] \[ \phi = -\arctan\left(\frac{S}{C}\right) = -\arctan\left(\frac{6.9798}{13.8506}\right) \approx -.464 \text{ radians} \] --- ## **Final Answer** \[ \boxed{ x(t) = 15.51 \cos(\omega t - .464) } \] where \( \omega = 2\pi f \). --- ### **Summary of Steps** 1. **Expand** the sum using cosine addition. 2. **Group** \(\cos(\omega t)\) and \(\sin(\omega t)\) terms. 3. **Calculate** the coefficients \(C\) and \(S\). 4. **Convert** to single cosine form using amplitude \(A\) and phase \(\phi\).
