We have to prove that sinx+sin3x cosx+cos3x =tan2x
The Left Hand Side of the equation,
L.H.S.= sinx+sin3x cosx+cos3x
Use the formula.
sinA+sinB=2sin{ A+B 2 }cos{ A−B 2 } cosA+cosB=2cos{ A+B 2 }cos{ A−B 2 }
Simplify the Left Hand Side of the equation.
L.H.S.= 2sin{ x+3x 2 }cos{ x−3x 2 } 2cos{ x+3x 2 }os{ x−3x 2 } = 2sin2xcosx 2cos2xcosx = sin2x cos2x =tan2x
Left hand side is equal to right hand side.
Hence, proved.
