Prove that 3arcsinx-arcsin(3x-4x^3)=0

To verify if the given identity, we'll use one of
Lagrange's consequences.


f(x) = 3arcsin x
-[arcsin(3x-4x^3)] = 0


If the derivative of the function
f(x) is cancelling out, then the function is a
constant.


We'll calculate the first derivative of the
function, both sides:


f'(x) = {3arcsin x
-[arcsin(3x-4x^3)]}'


(arcsin x)' =
1/sqrt(1-x^2)


[arcsin(3x-4x^3)]' = (3x-4x^3)'/sqrt[1 -
(3x-4x^3)^2]


[arcsin(3x-4x^3)]' = (3 - 12x^2)/sqrt[1 -
(3x-4x^3)^2] (2)


(3arcsinx)' = 3/sqrt(1-x^2)
(1)


{3arcsin x -[arcsin(3x-4x^3)]}' = (1) -
(2)


3/sqrt(1-x^2) - (3 - 12x^2)/sqrt[1 -
(3x-4x^3)^2]


If (1) - (2) = 0, then the identity is
verified.


Another method is to calculate sine function both
sides:


sin (3arcsin x) = sin
[arcsin(3x-4x^3)]


Let arcsin x = t => sin t = x and
we'll use the identity sin (arcsin x) = x.


sin 3t =
(3x-4x^3)


We'll apply the triple angle
identity;


sin 3t = sin (2t+t) = sin2t*cost +
sint*cos2t


sin3t = 2sint*[1-(sin t)^2] + sint*[1-2(sin
t)^2]


sin3t = 2sint - 2(sin t)^3 + sint - 2(sin
t)^3


sin3t = 3sint- 4(sin
t)^3


We'll replace sin t by
x:


sin3t = 3x -
4x^3


We'll notice that calculating the
difference 3/sqrt(1-x^2) - (3 - 12x^2)/sqrt[1 - (3x-4x^3)^2] we'll get zero, therefore 
3arcsin x -[arcsin(3x-4x^3)] = 0

What accomplishments did Bill Clinton have as president?

Of course, Bill Clinton's presidency will be most clearly remembered for the fact that he was only the second president ever...
