to do this reduction: (I) r*sin(a+b+c)-r*sin(a+b-c)+d*cos(a+b+c)-d*cos(a+b-c); (II) r*(sin(a+b+c)-sin(a+b-c))+d*(cos(a+b+c)-cos(a+b-c)); (III) r*(cos(a+b)*sin(c))+d*(sin(a+b)*sin(c)); 1) How can I factor r and d in (I) to get (II)? 2) from (II) to (III) trigexpand, factor, trigreduce do not work... bye
