Prove that: (sin 3𝑥 + sin 𝑥) sin 𝑥 + (cos 3𝑥 – cos 𝑥) cos 𝑥 = 0
Lets calculate (sin 3x + sin x) and (cos 3x – cos x) separately
We know that
sin x + sin y = sin ((𝑥 + 𝑦)/2) cos ((𝑥 − 𝑦)/2)
Replacing x with 3x and y with x
sin 3x + sin x = 2sin ((3𝑥 + 𝑥)/2) cos ((3𝑥 − 𝑥)/2)
sin 3x + sin x = 2 sin 2x cos x
Similarly ,
We know that
cos x – cos y = –2 sin ((𝑥 + 𝑦)/2) sin ((𝑥 − 𝑦)/2)
Replacing x with 3x and y with x
cos 3x – cos x = –2 sin ((3𝑥 + 𝑥)/2) sin ((3𝑥 − 𝑥)/2)
cos 3x – cos x = –2 sin 2x sin x
Now solving L.H.S
(sin 3x + sin x) sin x + (cos 3x – cos x) cos x
Putting values from (1) & (2)
= (2 sin 2x cos x) (sin x) + (–2sin 2x) (sin x) (cos x)
= 2 sin 2x cos x sin x – 2 sin 2x sin x cos x
= 0
= R.H.S
Hence L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence proved
