Title: Adding different Angular frequency w(t)?
Post by: Charlie Mack on Sep 29, 2021
I am having trouble understanding this. I understand how to solve the equation but can we just add the angular frequency? I thought they have to be the same?

Express in single cosine?

y(t)=5cos(500t+60) + 100cos(100t-30)

Can we just add the 500t and 100t?

The answer is 100.123cos(wt-27.13) ; w=?

Unfortunately you cannot.

You can use the following formula:

Set:

\(A = 5\)
\(B = 100\)
\(\alpha=60\)
\(\beta=-30\)

See if you can get the rest on your own. If not, simply reply back :)

See the document below for further reference.

Was looking long for an answer to this.
Can I somehow use the formulars in your attachement to add a Sine and a Cosine with doubled frequency?

Can you show me what the expressions look like?
