Adding/subtracting sinusoids
$begingroup$
I'm trying to calculate resultant function from adding two sinusoids:
$9sin(omega t + tfracpi3)$ and $-7sin(omega t - tfrac3pi8)$
The correct answer is $14.38sin(omega t + 1.444)$, but I get $14.38sin(omega t + 2.745)$.
My calculations are (first using cosine rule to obtain resultant $v$ as):
$sqrt9^2 + (-7)^2 - (2 cdot 9 cdot (-7) cdot cos(pi - tfracpi3 + tfrac3pi8)) = 14.38$
And the angle (using the sine rule):
$pi - arcsin(|-7| sin(pi - tfracpi3 + tfrac3pi8) / 14.38) = 157$ ° or $2.745$ radians.

Your question will be much more readable if you format the math properly. I have edited a portion of the question to get you started, and you can find complete instructions here: dsp.stackexchange.com/editing-help#latex. I have also selected a better tag, since your question is unrelated to wavelets.

This is a trigonometry question, but can also be solved using complex exponentials , which makes it a more DSP type.
We shall use the identitiy:
$$ sin(phi) = frace^jphi - e^-jphi 2j $$
or the more general case:
$$ sin(omega t + phi) = frace^jomega t e^jphi - e^-jomega t e^-jphi 2j $$
and further more general case:
$$
beginalign
|K| sin(omega t + phi + theta_k) &= |K|frace^jomega t e^jphie^jtheta_k - e^-jomega t e^-jphie^-jtheta_k 2j \
&= frace^jomega t e^jphiK - e^-jomega t e^-jphiK^* 2j tag1\
endalign
$$
where $K$ is a complex constant defined as $K = K_r + j K_i = |K| e^jtheta_k $ both in rectangular and polar forms.
Now proceed in decomposing the given signal into complex exponentials:
$$
beginalign
x(t) &= 9 sin(omega t + pi/3) - 7 sin(omega t - 3pi/8) \
&= (9/2j)left( e^jomega t e^jpi/3 - e^-jomega t e^-jpi/3 right) - (7/2j)left( e^jomega t e^-j3pi/8 - e^-jomega t e^j3pi/8 right) \
&= frac e^jomega tleft[9 e^jpi/3 - 7e^-3pi/8 right] - e^-jomega tleft[ 9 e^-jpi/3 - 7e^3pi/8 right] 2j tag2\
&= frac e^jomega tK - e^-jomega tK^* 2j\
endalign
$$
Now denoting $9 e^jpi/3 - 7e^-j3pi/8 = K$, the last line, Eq(2) becomes similar to Eq(1). Now all you need to do is find the magnitude and phase angle of the complex number $K$, which are :
$$ K = 9 e^jpi/3 - 7e^j3pi/8 = 1.8212 + 14.2614 j $$
$$ |K| = 14.3772 $$
$$ theta_k = 1.4438 ~~~text radians $$
Plugging these values gives you the final answer :
$$boxedsin(omega t + theta_k) = 14.38 sin(omega t + 1.4438) $$

The easiest way (to my mind) to solve the problem is to
Use the identity $sin(Apm B) = sin A cos B pm cos A sin B$, substituting the known numerical values of $cos B$ and $sin B$,
Gathering the results to express your sum of sinusoids in the form of $C sin A + D cos A$,
Expressing the resulting function as $sqrtC^2+D^2 sinleft(omega t + thetaright)$
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
That's more or less the way I'm doing it, but the question is I can't figure out the θ.

Hint: Set $fracCsqrtC^2+D^2 = cos(theta), fracDsqrtC^2+D^2 = sin(theta) $ and solve $tan(theta)=frac DC$ for $theta$.

Hint: Set $fracCsqrtC^2+D^2 = cos(theta), fracDsqrtC^2+D^2 = sin(theta) $ and solve $tan(theta)=frac DC$ for $theta$.

The easiest way (to my mind) to solve the problem is to
Use the identity $sin(Apm B) = sin A cos B pm cos A sin B$, substituting the known numerical values of $cos B$ and $sin B$,
Gathering the results to express your sum of sinusoids in the form of $C sin A + D cos A$,
Expressing the resulting function as $sqrtC^2+D^2 sinleft(omega t + thetaright)$

That's more or less the way I'm doing it, but the question is I can't figure out the θ.

Your question will be much more readable if you format the math properly. I have edited a portion of the question to get you started, and you can find complete instructions here: dsp.stackexchange.com/editing-help#latex. I have also selected a better tag, since your question is unrelated to wavelets.

Great! Just be mindful of the "" before "sin" and "cos". I fixed those for you.

and lose the asterisks unless you're discussing convolution.
