sinx - sin3x/sin^2x -cos^2x =sin2x

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}.

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...
