Prove sin((2n+1)x) function by induction



Can someone help me prove the following by mathematical induction:



sin((2n+1)x)=sin(x)(1+2nk=1cos(2kx))



I was told to use induction on n; however I keep getting stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!


Answer



If n=0, this is trivially true. Suppose n1 is true, let's consider n, it suffices to show
sin((2n+1)x)sin((2n1)x)=2sin(x)cos(2nx)

now do you see how to finish?
