Help please! Will give medal and fan!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: \[\begin{gathered} \sin \left( {3\alpha } \right) = \sin \left( {\alpha + 2\alpha } \right) = \hfill \\ = \sin \alpha \cos \left( {2\alpha } \right) + \cos \alpha \sin \left( {2\alpha } \right) \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

OpenStudy (kkbrookly):

What do I do after that?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

we have to use these identities: \[\begin{gathered} \cos \left( {2\alpha } \right) = 1 - 2{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)^2} \hfill \\ \sin \left( {2\alpha } \right) = 2\sin \alpha \cos \alpha \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: \[\begin{gathered} \sin \left( {3\alpha } \right) = \sin \left( {\alpha + 2\alpha } \right) = \hfill \\ = \sin \alpha \cos \left( {2\alpha } \right) + \cos \alpha \sin \left( {2\alpha } \right) = \hfill \\ = \sin \alpha \left( {1 - 2{{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)}^2}} \right) + \cos \alpha \left( {2\sin \alpha \cos \alpha } \right) \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please continue

OpenStudy (kkbrookly):

So I cross out sin a on both sides, right?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

no, we have to continue those equalities, namely:

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

\[\begin{gathered} \sin \left( {3\alpha } \right) = \sin \left( {\alpha + 2\alpha } \right) = \hfill \\ = \sin \alpha \cos \left( {2\alpha } \right) + \cos \alpha \sin \left( {2\alpha } \right) = \hfill \\ = \sin \alpha \left( {1 - 2{{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)}^2}} \right) + \cos \alpha \left( {2\sin \alpha \cos \alpha } \right) = \hfill \\ = \sin \alpha \left( {1 - 2{{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)}^2}} \right) + 2\sin \alpha {\left( {\cos \alpha } \right)^2} = \hfill \\ = \sin \alpha \left( {1 - 2{{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)}^2}} \right) + 2\sin \alpha \left( {1 - {{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)}^2}} \right) = ...? \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I have substituted: \[\cos \alpha = 1 - {\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)^2}\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

oops.. \[{\left( {\cos \alpha } \right)^2} = 1 - {\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)^2}\]

OpenStudy (kkbrookly):

I am confused what to do at this point. Do I need to start simplifying or substituting the factors that you've given me

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

you have to compute the multiplications indicated by the parentheses, for example: \[\sin \alpha \left( {1 - 2{{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)}^2}} \right) = \sin \alpha - 2{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)^3}\]

OpenStudy (kkbrookly):

Oh okay. So (sina-2(sina)^3)+sina^2?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

no, the othr term is: \[2\sin \alpha \left( {1 - {{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)}^2}} \right) = 2\sin \alpha - 2{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)^3}\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so, what is: \[\sin \alpha - 2{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)^3} + 2\sin \alpha - 2{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)^3} = ...?\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: we have to compute this sum: \[\sin \alpha \left( {1 - 2{{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)}^2}} \right) + 2\sin \alpha \left( {1 - {{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)}^2}} \right)\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

is it ok?

OpenStudy (kkbrookly):

It's the same on both sides do I just put 2 in front of it since it is doubled?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the first term is : \[\sin \alpha \left( {1 - 2{{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)}^2}} \right) = \sin \alpha - 2{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)^3}\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

and the second term is: \[2\sin \alpha \left( {1 - {{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)}^2}} \right) = 2\sin \alpha - 2{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)^3}\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so, we have to compute this sum: \[{\text{first term + second term}} = \sin \alpha - 2{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)^3} + 2\sin \alpha - 2{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)^3} = ...?\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

@kkbrookly

OpenStudy (kkbrookly):

2sina^2-4(sina)^3?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

better is 3 sina^2-4(sina)^3

OpenStudy (kkbrookly):

Oh okay. I was one off. Now I substitute the terms or do I continue to simplify it?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

we have finished since the expression which we have got is equal to the right side of your identity

OpenStudy (kkbrookly):

Oh okay! So it is an identity! Thank you!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

thank you!
