prove (sin(θ)+sin(3θ))/(2cos(θ))=sin(2θ)

prove

\frac{sin ( θ ) + sin ( 3 θ )}{2 cos ( θ )} = sin (2 θ)

True

Solution steps

\frac{sin ( θ ) + sin ( 3 θ )}{2 cos ( θ )} = sin (2 θ)

Manipulating left side

\frac{sin ( θ ) + sin ( 3 θ )}{2 cos ( θ )}

Rewrite using trig identities

\frac{sin ( θ ) + sin ( 3 θ )}{2 cos ( θ )}

Use the Sum to Product identity:

sin (s) + sin (t) = 2 sin (\frac{s + t}{2}) cos (\frac{s - t}{2})

= \frac{2 sin ( \frac{θ + 3 θ}{2} ) cos ( \frac{θ - 3 θ}{2} )}{2 cos ( θ )}

Simplify

\frac{2 sin ( \frac{θ + 3 θ}{2} ) cos ( \frac{θ - 3 θ}{2} )}{2 cos ( θ )} : sin (2 θ)

\frac{2 sin ( \frac{θ + 3 θ}{2} ) cos ( \frac{θ - 3 θ}{2} )}{2 cos ( θ )}

2 sin (\frac{θ + 3 θ}{2}) cos (\frac{θ - 3 θ}{2}) = 2 sin (\frac{4 θ}{2}) cos (- \frac{2 θ}{2})

2 sin (\frac{θ + 3 θ}{2}) cos (\frac{θ - 3 θ}{2})

Add similar elements:

θ + 3 θ = 4 θ

= 2 sin (\frac{4 θ}{2}) cos (\frac{θ - 3 θ}{2})

\frac{θ - 3 θ}{2} = - \frac{2 θ}{2}

\frac{θ - 3 θ}{2}

Add similar elements:

θ - 3 θ = - 2 θ

= \frac{- 2 θ}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{2 θ}{2}

= 2 sin (\frac{4 θ}{2}) cos (- \frac{2 θ}{2})

= \frac{2 sin ( \frac{4 θ}{2} ) cos ( - \frac{2 θ}{2} )}{2 cos ( θ )}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{2}{2} = 1

= \frac{sin ( \frac{4 θ}{2} ) cos ( - \frac{2 θ}{2} )}{cos ( θ )}

Use the negative angle identity:

cos (- x) = cos (x)

= \frac{cos ( \frac{2 θ}{2} ) sin ( \frac{4 θ}{2} )}{cos ( θ )}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{2}{2} = 1

= \frac{cos ( θ ) sin ( \frac{4 θ}{2} )}{cos ( θ )}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{4}{2} = 2

= \frac{cos ( θ ) sin ( 2 θ )}{cos ( θ )}

Cancel the common factor:

cos (θ)

= sin (2 θ)

= sin (2 θ)

= sin (2 θ)

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True

cos (4 θ) - 4 cos (2 θ) = 8 sin^{4} (θ) - 3

tan^{2} (θ) = \frac{1}{cos ^{2} ( θ )} - 1

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

\frac{1 + tan ( u )}{1 + cot ( u )} = tan (u)

sec^{2} (B) = \frac{1}{1 - sin ^{2} ( B )}
