Misc 7 Prove that: sin 3x + sin2x โ€“ sin x = 4 sin x cos ๐‘ฅ/2 cos 3๐‘ฅ/2 Solving L.H.S sin 3x + sin 2x โˆ’ sin x = sin 3x + (sin 2x โ€“ sin x) = sin 3x + 2cos ((2๐‘ฅ + ๐‘ฅ)/2) . sin ((2๐‘ฅโˆ’๐‘ฅ)/2) = sin 3x + 2 cos (๐Ÿ‘๐’™/๐Ÿ) sin ๐’™/๐Ÿ We know that sin 2x = 2 sin x cos x Divide by x by x/2 sin 2x/2 = 2 sin x/2 cos x/2 sin x = 2 sin x/2 cos x/2 Now Replace x by 3x sin 3x = 2 sin ๐Ÿ‘๐ฑ/๐Ÿ cos ๐Ÿ‘๐ฑ/๐Ÿ = 2 sin 3๐‘ฅ/2 cos 3๐‘ฅ/2 + ["2 cos " 3๐‘ฅ/2 " sin " ๐‘ฅ/2] = 2 cos 3๐‘ฅ/2 ["sin " ๐Ÿ‘๐’™/๐Ÿ " + sin " ๐’™/๐Ÿ] Using sin x + sin y = 2 sin (๐‘ฅ + ๐‘ฆ)/2 cos (๐‘ฅ โˆ’ ๐‘ฆ)/2 Putting x = 3๐‘ฅ/2 & y = ๐‘ฅ/2 , = 2 cos 3๐‘ฅ/2 ["2 sin " ((3๐‘ฅ/2 " + " ๐‘ฅ/2))/2 " . cos " ((3๐‘ฅ/2 " โˆ’ " ๐‘ฅ/2))/2] = 2 cos 3๐‘ฅ/2 ["2 sin " (((3๐‘ฅ + ๐‘ฅ)/2))/2 " . cos " (((3๐‘ฅ โˆ’ ๐‘ฅ)/2))/2] = 2 cos 3๐‘ฅ/2 ["2 sin " ((4๐‘ฅ/2))/2 " . cos " ((2๐‘ฅ/2))/2] = 2 cos 3๐‘ฅ/2 ["2 sin " ((2๐‘ฅ/1))/2 " . cos " ((๐‘ฅ/1))/2] = 2 cos ๐Ÿ‘๐’™/๐Ÿ ["2 sin " ๐Ÿ๐’™/๐Ÿ " . cos " ๐’™/๐Ÿ] = 2 cos 3๐‘ฅ/2 ["2 sin " ๐‘ฅ" . cos " ๐‘ฅ/2] = 4 cos ๐Ÿ‘๐’™/๐Ÿ sin ๐’™ cos ๐’™/๐Ÿ = R.H.S Hence L.H.S = R.H.S Hence proved
