Common Factor Trigonometry
1. Let's start by understanding the problem: you want to solve a trigonometric expression by taking common factors $h_1$ and $h_2$.
2. The general approach is to factor out the common terms $h_1$ and $h_2$ from the given trigonometric expression.
3. Suppose the expression is of the form $h_1 \sin x + h_2 \cos x$, we can factor it as $h_1(\sin x) + h_2(\cos x)$.
4. To solve or simplify, we can use the trigonometric identity:
$$a \sin x + b \cos x = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2} \sin(x + \alpha)$$
where $\alpha = \arctan\left(\frac{b}{a}\right)$ if $a \neq 0$.
5. Applying this, the expression becomes:
$$h_1 \sin x + h_2 \cos x = \sqrt{h_1^2 + h_2^2} \sin\left(x + \arctan\left(\frac{h_2}{h_1}\right)\right)$$
6. This form is easier to analyze or solve for $x$ depending on the problem context.
7. If you provide the exact expression, I can demonstrate the factoring and solving steps in detail.
