Question
Solve the following equations: $\sin3\text{x}-\sin\text{x}=4\cos^{2}\text{x}-2$

Answer

$\sin3\text{x}-\sin\text{x}=4\cos^{2}\text{x}-2$ $\Rightarrow2\cos2\text{x},\sin\text{x}=2(2\cos^{2}\text{x}-1)$ $\Rightarrow2\cos2\text{x},\sin\text{x}=2\cos2\text{x}$ $[\because\cos2\text{x}=2\cos^{2}\text{x}-1]$ $\Rightarrow2\cos2\text{x}(\sin\text{x}-1)=0$ Either $\cos2\text{x}=0$ or $\sin\text{x}-1=0$ $\Rightarrow2\text{x}=(2\text{n}+1)\frac{\pi}{2},\text{n}\in\text{z}$or $\sin\text{x}=1=\sin\frac{\pi}{2}$ $\Rightarrow\text{x}=(2\text{n}+1)\frac{\pi}{4},\text{n}\in\text{z}$ or $\text{x}=\text{m}\pi+(-1)^\text{m}\frac{\pi}{2},\text{m}\in\text{z}$ Thus, $\text{x}=(2\text{n}+1)\frac{\pi}{4},\text{n}\in\text{z}$ or $\text{m}\pi+(-1)^\text{m}\frac{\pi}{2},\text{m}\in\text{z}$
