    Should be easy SHM question

    I just can't seem to see what to do, and it is very frustrating because I know it's relatively easy :P anyway, the question is: "The period of a particle moving in SHM is 6s and its amplitude is 8cm. Calculate its velocity and acceleration (to 1dp) when the displacement is 5cm from the centre...

    Harder MX1

    I have just proven that \frac{sin\frac{3x}{2}-sin\frac{x}{2}}{2sin\frac{x}{2}}=cosx The question then asks me to prove by induction that cosx+cos2x+cos3x+...cosnx=\frac{sin\frac{2n+1}{2}x}{2sin\frac{x}{2}}-\frac{1}{2} Can someone please show me how to do this? I keep getting to a certain point...
