Gee, this is a hard question to answer. All I know is Jesus and His followers were Communists;
Acts 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. 4:33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. 4:34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
4:35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
So there is no reason for Jesus and his disciples to engage in Consumerism. But is it a sin? I don't know now, but will update my answer if I found what The Bible say about it..
Answer:Dictionary.com gives three definitions of "consumerism." The first two don't relate to the question, but the third does: "The fact or practice of an increasing consumption of goods."Purchasing needful things is by no means sinful, but conspicuous consumption of "wants" instead of "needs" has its roots in covetousness, which IS a sin; so much so that it's equated with idolatry in Scripture (Colossians 3:5).
Like many other things that are inherently "neutral," consumerism is sinful if having (and getting more) stuff is a higher priority for us than having a proper relationship with God.
Luke 12:15 - And He said to them, "Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses." [NKJV]

How do you prove this trigonometric relationship sin3A equals 3sinA cos 2 A - sin 3 A?
sin(3A) = sin(2A + A) = sin(2A)*cos(A) + cos(2A)*sin(A)= sin(A+A)*cos(A) + cos(A+A)*sin(A) = 2*sin(A)*cos(A)*cos(A) + {cos^2(A) - sin^2(A)}*sin(A) = 2*sin(A)*cos^2(A) + sin(a)*cos^2(A) - sin^3(A) = 3*sin(A)*cos^2(A) - sin^3(A)
