Maximize product of two sines given sum of angles

66 Views Asked by At

Say we have an angle $c$. Prove that for two angles $a$ and $b$ such that $a + b = c$,$$\sin{a}\sin{b}$$ is maximized when $$a = b = \frac{c}{2}$$

Use the trigonometric sum-product relation:

$2\sin(a)\sin(b)=\cos(a-b)-\cos(a+b).$

Continue from there.
