Simplify the expression (cosx - sinx) (1+4 sinxcosx)
sin3x + cos3x
(cosx - sinx) (1 + 4 sinx.cosx)
cosx+4sinxcos2x−sinx−4sin2xcosx
Option are in terms of trigonometric ratios of 3x and 2x.
We should further simplify the above given expression.By using identity sin2x+cos2x=1
= cosx+4sinx(1−sin2x)−sinx−4(1−cos2x)cosx
cosx+4sinx−4sin3x−sinx−4cosx+4cos3x
= 3sinx+4sin3x+4cos3x−3cosx
= sin3x + cos3x
