Greetings All

I have the example below which produces 10 cycles
a = Sin[10 x]
Plot[a, {x, 0, 2 Pi}]

What Type of signal would I need to add/multiple/divide to reduce it's
signal/frequency to 5 cycles? I know I can just change the number 10
to 5
but I need to combine it with another signal. what mathematical
operation/signal do I need to use.

In simplest terms you want to know G such that G*sin(10x)=sin(5x)
so G = sin(5x)/sin(10x) = 1/2cos(5x) ... if you want multiplication


Or you want to know F such that F+sin(10x) = sin(5x)
so F = sin(5x) - sin(10x) = sin(5x)(1-2cos(5x))...if you want addition

I will leave subtraction and division to you.
