Since you did not mentioned what do you want to do with
the given relation: to verify the identity or to solve the equation, I'll solve the
equation.
(sinx - sin3x)/[(sinx)^2 -(cosx)^2]
=sin2x
We'll apply the double angle identity for the
denominator:
cos 2x = (cosx)^2 -
(sinx)^2
We'll transform into a product the
numerator:
sinx - sin3x = 2 cos [(x+3x)/2]*sin[(x -
3x)/2]
sinx - sin3x = 2 cos 2x*sin (-
x)
Since the sine function is odd, we'll
have:
sin (- x) = - sin x
sinx
- sin3x = - 2*cos 2x*sin x
- 2*cos 2x*sin x/-cos 2x
=sin2x
We'll simplify and we'll
get:
2 sin x = sin 2x
2 sin x
- sin 2x = 0
2 sin x - 2 sin x* cos x =
0
We'll factorize by 2 sin x:
2 sin x(1 - cos x) = 0
We'll cancel each
factor:
2 sin x = 0
sin x =
0
x = (-1)^k arcsin 0 + k pi
x
= k*pi
1 - cos x = 0
cos x =
1
x = + arccos 1 + 2k*pi
x =
2k*pi
The solutions of the equation are:
{k*pi}U{2k*pi}.
