prove sin(3x)=(sin(x))(3-4sin^2(x))

Solution

prove

sin (3 x) = (sin (x)) (3 - 4 sin^{2} (x))

Solution

True

Solution steps

sin (3 x) = sin (x) (3 - 4 sin^{2} (x))

Manipulating left side

sin (3 x)

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (3 x)

Use the following identity:

sin (3 x) = 3 sin (x) - 4 sin^{3} (x)

sin (3 x)

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (3 x)

Rewrite as

= sin (2 x + x)

Use the Angle Sum identity:

sin (s + t) = sin (s) cos (t) + cos (s) sin (t)

= sin (2 x) cos (x) + cos (2 x) sin (x)

Use the Double Angle identity:

sin (2 x) = 2 sin (x) cos (x)

= cos (2 x) sin (x) + cos (x) 2 sin (x) cos (x)

Simplify

cos (2 x) sin (x) + cos (x) \cdot 2 sin (x) cos (x) : sin (x) cos (2 x) + 2 cos^{2} (x) sin (x)

cos (2 x) sin (x) + cos (x) 2 sin (x) cos (x)

cos (x) \cdot 2 sin (x) cos (x) = 2 cos^{2} (x) sin (x)

cos (x) 2 sin (x) cos (x)

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b} \cdot a^{c} = a^{b + c}

cos (x) cos (x) = cos^{1 + 1} (x)

= 2 sin (x) cos^{1 + 1} (x)

Add the numbers:

1 + 1 = 2

= 2 sin (x) cos^{2} (x)

= sin (x) cos (2 x) + 2 cos^{2} (x) sin (x)

= sin (x) cos (2 x) + 2 cos^{2} (x) sin (x)

= sin (x) cos (2 x) + 2 cos^{2} (x) sin (x)

Use the Double Angle identity:

cos (2 x) = 1 - 2 sin^{2} (x)

= (1 - 2 sin^{2} (x)) sin (x) + 2 cos^{2} (x) sin (x)

Use the Pythagorean identity:

cos^{2} (x) + sin^{2} (x) = 1

cos^{2} (x) = 1 - sin^{2} (x)

= (1 - 2 sin^{2} (x)) sin (x) + 2 (1 - sin^{2} (x)) sin (x)

Expand

(1 - 2 sin^{2} (x)) sin (x) + 2 (1 - sin^{2} (x)) sin (x) : - 4 sin^{3} (x) + 3 sin (x)

(1 - 2 sin^{2} (x)) sin (x) + 2 (1 - sin^{2} (x)) sin (x)

= sin (x) (1 - 2 sin^{2} (x)) + 2 sin (x) (1 - sin^{2} (x))

Expand

sin (x) (1 - 2 sin^{2} (x)) : sin (x) - 2 sin^{3} (x)

sin (x) (1 - 2 sin^{2} (x))

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = sin (x), b = 1, c = 2 sin^{2} (x)

= sin (x) 1 - sin (x) 2 sin^{2} (x)

= 1 sin (x) - 2 sin^{2} (x) sin (x)

Simplify

1 \cdot sin (x) - 2 sin^{2} (x) sin (x) : sin (x) - 2 sin^{3} (x)

1 sin (x) - 2 sin^{2} (x) sin (x)

1 \cdot sin (x) = sin (x)

1 sin (x)

Multiply:

1 \cdot sin (x) = sin (x)

= sin (x)

2 sin^{2} (x) sin (x) = 2 sin^{3} (x)

2 sin^{2} (x) sin (x)

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b} \cdot a^{c} = a^{b + c}

sin^{2} (x) sin (x) = sin^{2 + 1} (x)

= 2 sin^{2 + 1} (x)

Add the numbers:

2 + 1 = 3

= 2 sin^{3} (x)

= sin (x) - 2 sin^{3} (x)

= sin (x) - 2 sin^{3} (x)

= sin (x) - 2 sin^{3} (x) + 2 (1 - sin^{2} (x)) sin (x)

Expand

2 sin (x) (1 - sin^{2} (x)) : 2 sin (x) - 2 sin^{3} (x)

2 sin (x) (1 - sin^{2} (x))

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = 2 sin (x), b = 1, c = sin^{2} (x)

= 2 sin (x) 1 - 2 sin (x) sin^{2} (x)

= 2 \cdot 1 sin (x) - 2 sin^{2} (x) sin (x)

Simplify

2 \cdot 1 \cdot sin (x) - 2 sin^{2} (x) sin (x) : 2 sin (x) - 2 sin^{3} (x)

2 \cdot 1 sin (x) - 2 sin^{2} (x) sin (x)

2 \cdot 1 \cdot sin (x) = 2 sin (x)

2 \cdot 1 sin (x)

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= 2 sin (x)

2 sin^{2} (x) sin (x) = 2 sin^{3} (x)

2 sin^{2} (x) sin (x)

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b} \cdot a^{c} = a^{b + c}

sin^{2} (x) sin (x) = sin^{2 + 1} (x)

= 2 sin^{2 + 1} (x)

Add the numbers:

2 + 1 = 3

= 2 sin^{3} (x)

= 2 sin (x) - 2 sin^{3} (x)

= 2 sin (x) - 2 sin^{3} (x)

= sin (x) - 2 sin^{3} (x) + 2 sin (x) - 2 sin^{3} (x)

Simplify

sin (x) - 2 sin^{3} (x) + 2 sin (x) - 2 sin^{3} (x) : - 4 sin^{3} (x) + 3 sin (x)

sin (x) - 2 sin^{3} (x) + 2 sin (x) - 2 sin^{3} (x)

Group like terms

= - 2 sin^{3} (x) - 2 sin^{3} (x) + sin (x) + 2 sin (x)

Add similar elements:

- 2 sin^{3} (x) - 2 sin^{3} (x) = - 4 sin^{3} (x)

= - 4 sin^{3} (x) + sin (x) + 2 sin (x)

Add similar elements:

sin (x) + 2 sin (x) = 3 sin (x)

= - 4 sin^{3} (x) + 3 sin (x)

= - 4 sin^{3} (x) + 3 sin (x)

= - 4 sin^{3} (x) + 3 sin (x)

= 3 sin (x) - 4 sin^{3} (x)

= 3 sin (x) - 4 sin^{3} (x)

= 3 sin (x) - 4 sin^{3} (x)

Factor

3 sin (x) - 4 sin^{3} (x) : sin (x) (3 - 4 sin^{2} (x))

3 sin (x) - 4 sin^{3} (x)

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b + c} = a^{b} a^{c}

sin^{3} (x) = sin (x) sin^{2} (x)

= 3 sin (x) - 4 sin (x) sin^{2} (x)

Factor out common term

sin (x)

= sin (x) (3 - 4 sin^{2} (x))

= (3 - 4 sin^{2} (x)) sin (x)

= sin (x) (3 - 4 sin^{2} (x))

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True
