Question
Prove that:
$\cos^3\text{x}\sin3\text{x}+\sin^3\text{x}\cos3\text{x}=\frac{3}{4}\sin4\text{x}$

Answer

$\cos^3\text{x}\sin3\text{x}+\sin^3\text{x}\cos3\text{x}=\frac{3}{4}\sin4\text{x}$
$\text{LHS}=\cos^3\text{x}\sin3\text{x}+\sin^3\text{x}\cos3\text{x}$
$=\Big(\frac{\cos3\text{x}+3\cos\text{x}}{4}\Big)\sin3\text{x}+\Big(\frac{3\sin\text{x}-\sin3\text{x}}{4}\Big)\cos3\text{x}$ $\begin{Bmatrix}\because\sin3\text{x}=3\sin\text{x}-4\sin^3\text{x}\\\cos3\text{x}=4\cos^3\text{x}-3\cos\text{x}\end{Bmatrix}$
$=\frac{1}{4}[3(\sin3\text{x}\cos\text{x}+\sin\text{x}\cos3\text{x})\\+\cos3\text{x}\sin3\text{x}-\sin3\text{x}\cos3\text{x}]$
$=\frac{1}{4}[3\sin(3\text{x}+​​​​\text{x})+0]$
$\frac{3}{4}\sin4\text{x}$
So,
$\cos^3\text{x}\sin3\text{x}+\sin^3\text{x}\cos3\text{x}=\frac{3}{4}\sin4\text{x}$
$=\text{RHS}$
