Help please! Will give medal and fan!
hint: \[\begin{gathered} \sin \left( {3\alpha } \right) = \sin \left( {\alpha + 2\alpha } \right) = \hfill \\ = \sin \alpha \cos \left( {2\alpha } \right) + \cos \alpha \sin \left( {2\alpha } \right) \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]
What do I do after that?
we have to use these identities: \[\begin{gathered} \cos \left( {2\alpha } \right) = 1 - 2{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)^2} \hfill \\ \sin \left( {2\alpha } \right) = 2\sin \alpha \cos \alpha \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]
hint: \[\begin{gathered} \sin \left( {3\alpha } \right) = \sin \left( {\alpha + 2\alpha } \right) = \hfill \\ = \sin \alpha \cos \left( {2\alpha } \right) + \cos \alpha \sin \left( {2\alpha } \right) = \hfill \\ = \sin \alpha \left( {1 - 2{{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)}^2}} \right) + \cos \alpha \left( {2\sin \alpha \cos \alpha } \right) \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]
please continue
So I cross out sin a on both sides, right?
no, we have to continue those equalities, namely:
\[\begin{gathered} \sin \left( {3\alpha } \right) = \sin \left( {\alpha + 2\alpha } \right) = \hfill \\ = \sin \alpha \cos \left( {2\alpha } \right) + \cos \alpha \sin \left( {2\alpha } \right) = \hfill \\ = \sin \alpha \left( {1 - 2{{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)}^2}} \right) + \cos \alpha \left( {2\sin \alpha \cos \alpha } \right) = \hfill \\ = \sin \alpha \left( {1 - 2{{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)}^2}} \right) + 2\sin \alpha {\left( {\cos \alpha } \right)^2} = \hfill \\ = \sin \alpha \left( {1 - 2{{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)}^2}} \right) + 2\sin \alpha \left( {1 - {{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)}^2}} \right) = ...? \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]
I have substituted: \[\cos \alpha = 1 - {\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)^2}\]
oops.. \[{\left( {\cos \alpha } \right)^2} = 1 - {\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)^2}\]
I am confused what to do at this point. Do I need to start simplifying or substituting the factors that you've given me
you have to compute the multiplications indicated by the parentheses, for example: \[\sin \alpha \left( {1 - 2{{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)}^2}} \right) = \sin \alpha - 2{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)^3}\]
Oh okay. So (sina-2(sina)^3)+sina^2?
no, the othr term is: \[2\sin \alpha \left( {1 - {{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)}^2}} \right) = 2\sin \alpha - 2{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)^3}\]
so, what is: \[\sin \alpha - 2{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)^3} + 2\sin \alpha - 2{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)^3} = ...?\]
hint: we have to compute this sum: \[\sin \alpha \left( {1 - 2{{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)}^2}} \right) + 2\sin \alpha \left( {1 - {{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)}^2}} \right)\]
is it ok?
It's the same on both sides do I just put 2 in front of it since it is doubled?
the first term is : \[\sin \alpha \left( {1 - 2{{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)}^2}} \right) = \sin \alpha - 2{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)^3}\]
and the second term is: \[2\sin \alpha \left( {1 - {{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)}^2}} \right) = 2\sin \alpha - 2{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)^3}\]
so, we have to compute this sum: \[{\text{first term + second term}} = \sin \alpha - 2{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)^3} + 2\sin \alpha - 2{\left( {\sin \alpha } \right)^3} = ...?\]
@kkbrookly
2sina^2-4(sina)^3?
better is 3 sina^2-4(sina)^3
Oh okay. I was one off. Now I substitute the terms or do I continue to simplify it?
we have finished since the expression which we have got is equal to the right side of your identity
Oh okay! So it is an identity! Thank you!
thank you!
