Question
Prove that:
$4(\cos^310^\circ+\sin^320^\circ)=3(\cos10^\circ+\sin20^\circ)$

Answer

Consider the LHS of the given equation
$4(\cos^310^\circ+\sin^320^\circ)=3(\cos10^\circ+\sin20^\circ)$
$\text{LHS} = 4(\cos^310^\circ+\sin^320^\circ)$
since $\sin30=\cos60^\circ=\frac{1}{2}$
and $\sin60^\circ=\cos30^\circ=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\sin3.20^\circ=\cos3.10^\circ$
$\Rightarrow3\sin20^\circ-4\sin^320^\circ=4\cos^310^\circ-3\cos10^\circ$
$\Rightarrow4(\cos^310^\circ+\sin^320^\circ)=3(\cos10^\circ+\sin20^\circ)$
$=\text{RHS}$
