Prove the identity 8 sin 3x sin x 34sin2x Solutionsin3x si
Solution
sin3x = sinx( 3 - 4sin^2x)
sin3x = sin(2x+x)
= sin2xcosx + cos2xsinx
= 2sinxcos^2x + (1-2sin^2x)sinx
= 2sinxcos^2x + sinx - 2sin^3x
= 2sinx(1-sin^2x) + sinx -2sin^3x
= 2sinx - 2sin^3x + sinx - 2sin^3x
= -4sin^3x +3sinx
= sinx(3 - 4sin^2x)
= RHS
