Answer

$5\sqrt 2 \sin (2x+\dfrac{7\pi}{4})$

Work Step by Step

Here, we have $5 \sin 2x-5 \cos 2x=R \sin (2x-\phi)$ Since, the angle $\phi$ lies in the first quadrant so, $\phi=45^{\circ}$ Thus, $\cos \phi=\cos 45^{\circ}=\dfrac{\sqrt 2}{2}$; $\sin \phi=\sin 45^{\circ}=\dfrac{\sqrt 2}{2}$ Thus, $R^2(\cos^2 \phi+\sin^2 \phi)=(5)^2+(5)^2$ This gives: $R=5 \sqrt 2$ since, the trigonometric function has period of $2 \pi$, so we will have to add $2 \pi$ $5 \sin 2x-5 \cos 2x=R \sin (2x-\phi)$ Thus, we have $5 \sin 2x-5 \cos 2x=5 \sqrt 2\sin (2x-\dfrac{\pi}{4}+2\pi)=5\sqrt 2 \sin (2x+\dfrac{7\pi}{4})$
