Question
Prove that:
$\sin^2(\frac{\pi}{8}+\frac{\text{x}}{2})-\sin^2(\frac{\pi}{8}-\frac{\text{x}}{2})=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\sin\text{x}$
✓

Answer

$\text{LHS}=\sin^2\Big(\frac{\pi}{8}+\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big)-\sin^2\Big(\frac{\pi}{8}-\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big)$
$=\Big[\sin\Big(\frac{\pi}{8}+\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big)+\sin\Big(\frac{\pi}{8}-\frac{\text{x}}{\pi}\Big)\Big]\Big[\frac{\pi}{8}+\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big)-\sin\Big(\frac{\pi}{8}-\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big)\Big]$
$=\Big[\sin\frac{\pi}{8},\cos\frac{\text{x}}{2}+\cos\frac{\pi}{8},\sin\frac{\text{x}}{2}-\sin\frac{\pi}{8},\cos\frac{\text{x}}{2}+\cos\frac{\pi}{8}\sin\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big]$
$=\Big[\sin\frac{\pi}{8},\cos\frac{\text{x}}{2}+\cos\frac{\pi}{\text{x}},\sin\frac{\text{x}}{2}-\sin\frac{\pi}{8},\cos\frac{\text{x}}{2}+\cos\frac{\pi}{8},\sin\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big]$
$=\Big(2\sin\frac{\pi}{8},\cos\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big)\Big(2\cos\frac{\pi}{2},\sin\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big)$
$=2\sin\frac{\pi}{8},\cos\frac{\pi}{2}2\sin\frac{\text{x}}{2},\cos\frac{\text{x}}{2}$
$=\sin2.\frac{\pi}{8},\sin2.\frac{\text{x}}{2}$
$=\sin\frac{\pi}{4},\sin\text{x}$
$=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\sin\text{x}=\text{RHS}$
