Prove that:-

OpenStudy (perl):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[3\left[ \sin ^{4}\left( \frac{ 3\pi }{ 2 } -\alpha\right)+\sin ^{4}\left( 3\pi+\alpha \right) \right]-2\left[ \sin ^{6}\left( \frac{ \pi }{ 2 }+\alpha \right)+\sin ^{6}\left( 5\pi -\alpha\right) \right] = 1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry for being late

hartnn (hartnn):

identities! whats sin (x+pi/2) =.. sin (pi -x) =... sin (pi+x) = .. ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, i knw those steps but i'm getting stuck at the end of the problem :( could you plz solve it?

hartnn (hartnn):

post the last step that you're sure is correct in your work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you there?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

check if it is correct...

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, thats correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then what am i going to do in order to proceed further?

hartnn (hartnn):

i can think of next step as using this \(a^2+b^2 = (a+b)^2 -2ab\) as we know that sin^2 +cos^2 =1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then the first part is coming \[3\left( 1-2\sin ^{2}\alpha \cos ^{2}\alpha \right)\]

hartnn (hartnn):

ohh, i got a better, shorter trick! lets try to bring everything in terms of sin^2 and sin^4 !

hartnn (hartnn):

for s^6 +c^6 use (a^3+b^3) formula, know that formula ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah...ok, i'm trying it out wid dat formula

hartnn (hartnn):

right, then where ever you see cos^2 just replace it by sin^2

hartnn (hartnn):

i mean by 1-sin^2 :P

hartnn (hartnn):

same goes for sin^4 +cos^4 term :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh goddd!!! i'm not getting it! after which step should follow that which you are talking about? :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*should i follow

hartnn (hartnn):

ok, did you get \(s^6+ c^6 = (s^4+c^4 -s^2c^2)\) ??

hartnn (hartnn):

our aim is very simple, there should be no cos term

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how is it coming? :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you plz solve the whole problem and send it to me like i did?

hartnn (hartnn):

wouldn't it be better if you solved it on your own, and i just guide you through steps ? i don't want to deprive you of the joy of solving question on your own :)

hartnn (hartnn):

a^3 +b^3 = (a+b) (a^2-ab+b^2) for s^6 +c^6 a = s^2, b = c^2

hartnn (hartnn):

a+b = s^2 +c^2 = 1

hartnn (hartnn):

so s^6 + c^6 = s^4-2s^2 c^2 +c^4

hartnn (hartnn):

plug in c^2 = 1-s^2 c^4 = (c^2)^2 = (1-s^2)^2

hartnn (hartnn):

and you will get 3 terms when you simplify sin^4 term, sin^2 term, and constant

hartnn (hartnn):

you can do that ?

hartnn (hartnn):

if you can, simplifying s^4+c^4 part will be piece of cake

hartnn (hartnn):

try it, tag me if you get stuck at any step, and post that step
