Answer

$y_1(\frac{\pi}{6}) = \frac{1}{2}$ $y_2(\frac{\pi}{6}) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ $(y_1+y_2)(\frac{\pi}{6}) = \frac{1}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ We can see that: $~~y_1(\frac{\pi}{6})+y_2(\frac{\pi}{6}) = (y_1+y_2)(\frac{\pi}{6})$

Work Step by Step

$y_1 = sin~x$ $y_2 = sin~2x$ $y_1+y_2 = sin~x+sin~2x$ We can evaluate each function at $\frac{\pi}{6}$: $y_1(\frac{\pi}{6}) = sin~\frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{1}{2}$ $y_2(\frac{\pi}{6}) = sin~\frac{2\pi}{6} = sin~\frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ $(y_1+y_2)(\frac{\pi}{6}) = sin~\frac{\pi}{6}+sin~\frac{2\pi}{6} = \frac{1}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ We can see that: $~~y_1(\frac{\pi}{6})+y_2(\frac{\pi}{6}) = (y_1+y_2)(\frac{\pi}{6})$
