Question
 Prove the following:
$\sin2\text{x}+2\sin4\text{x}+\sin6\text{x}=4\cos^2\text{x}\sin4\text{x}$

Answer

$\text{L.H.S.}=\sin2\text{x}+2\sin4\text{x}+\sin6\text{x}$

$=[\sin2\text{x}+\sin6\text{x}]+2\sin4\text{x}$

$=\Big[2\sin\Big(\frac{2\text{x}+6\text{x}}{2}\Big)\Big(\frac{2\text{x}-6\text{x}}{2}\Big)\Big]+2\sin4\text{x}$

$=\Big[\therefore\sin\text{A}+\sin\text{B}=2\sin\Big(\frac{\text{A}+\text{B}}{2}\Big)\cos\Big(\frac{\text{A}-\text{B}}{2}\Big)\Big]$

$=2\sin4\text{x}\cos(-2\text{x})+2\sin4\text{x}$

$=2\sin4\text{x}\cos2\text{x}+2\sin4\text{x}$

$=2\sin4\text{x}(\cos2\text{x}+1)$

$=2\sin4\text{x}(2\cos^2\text{x}-1+1)$

$=2\sin4\text{x}(2\cos^2\text{x})$

$=4\cos^2\text{x}\sin4\text{x}$

$= \text{R.H.S.}$
