Answer

Let P(n): $\sin\text{x}+\sin3\text{x}+...+\sin(\text{2n-1})\text{x}=\frac{\sin ^2\text{nx}}{\sin\text{x}}$ For n = 1 $\sin \text{x}=\frac{\sin^2\text{x}}{\sin\text{x}}$ $\sin\text{x}=\sin\text{x}$ ⇒ p(n) is true for n = 1 Let p(n) is true for n = k, So $\sin\text{x}+\sin3\text{x}+...+\sin(\text{2k-1})\text{x}=\frac{\sin ^2\text{kx}}{\sin\text{x}}$ We have to show that, $\sin\text{x}+\sin3\text{x}+...+\sin(\text{2k-1})\text{x}+\sin(\text{2k+1})\text{x}=\frac{\sin ^2(\text{k+1})\text{x}}{\sin\text{x}}$ Now, $\Big\{\sin\text{x}+\sin3\text{x}+...+\sin(\text{2k}-1)\text{x}\Big\}+\sin(2\text{k}+1)\text{x}$ $=\frac{\sin^2\text{kx}}{\sin\text{x}}+\frac{\sin(2\text{k}+1)\text{x}}{1}$ $=\frac{\sin^2\text{kx}+{\sin(2\text{k}+1)\text{x}}\sin\text{x}}{\sin\text{x}}$ [Using equation (1)] $=\frac{2\sin^2\text{kx}+\cos\big[(2\text{k}+1)\text{x}-\text{x}-\big]\big[(2\text{k}+1)\text{x}+\text{x}\big]}{2\sin\text{x}}$ $=\frac{2\sin^2\text{kx}+\cos2\text{kx}-\cos(2\text{kx}+2\text{x})}{2\sin\text{x}}$ $=\frac{1-\cos2\text{kx}+\cos2\text{kx}-\cos2\text{x}(\text{k}+1)}{2\sin\text{x}}$ $=\frac{1-\cos2\text{x}(\text{k}+1)}{2\sin\text{x}}$ $=\frac{2\sin^2\text{x}(\text{k}+1)}{2\sin\text{x}}$ $=\frac{\sin^2\text{x}(\text{k}+1)}{\sin\text{x}}$ ⇒ P(n) is true for n = k + 1 ⇒ P(n) is true for $\text{n}\in\text{N}$ by PMI
