sin(3x) = 3sin(x) - 4sin^3(x)
You need to know the trigonometric formulae for sin and cos of compound angles. sin(x+y) = sin(x)*cos(y)+cos(x)*sin(y) and cos(x+y) = cos(x)*cos(y) - sin(x)*sin(y) Using these, y = x implies that sin(2x) = sin(x+x) = 2*sin(x)cos(x) and cos(2x) = cos(x+x) = cos^2(x) - sin^2(x) Next, the triple angle formulae are: sin(3x) = sin(2x + x) = 3*sin(x) - 4*sin^3(x) and cos(3x) = 4*cos^3(x) - 3*cos(x) Then the left hand side = 2*[3*sin(x) - 4*sin^3(x)]/sin(x) + 2*[4*cos^3(x) - 3*cos(x)]/cos(x) = 6 - 8*sin^2(x) + 8cos^2(x) - 6 = 8*[cos^2(x) - sin^2(x)] = 8*cos(2x) = right hand side.
The best way to answer this question is with the angle addition formulas. Sin(a + b) = sin(a)cos(b) + cos(a)sin(b) and cos(a + b) = cos(a)cos(b) - sin(a)sin(b). If you compute this repeatedly until you get sin(3x)cos(4x) = 3sin(x) - 28sin^3(x) + 56sin^5(x) - 32sin^7(x).
Do you mean sin(x)=sqrt(3)/2? IF so, look at at 30/60/90 triangle. We see the sin 60 degrees is square (root of 3)/2
4 sin(x) - 3 = 0 Therefore sin(x) = 3/4 And so the primary solution is x = sin-1(3/4) = 49 deg The second solution in the domain is 180 - 49 = 131 deg.
