I'm trying to prove a trigonometric identity but I can't. I've been trying a lot but I can't prove it. The identity says like this:
3sin4x−2sin6x=1−3cos4x+2cos6x
The identity would be easy if 1−cos4x=sin4x and 1−cos6x=sin6x but we know that sin4x+cos4x isn't equal with 1 and sin6x+cos6x isn't equal with 1.
Can anybody help me?!
Thank you!
Answer
3sin4x−2sin6x=3(sin2x)2−2(sin2x)3=(sin2x)2(3−2sin2x)⋯
Now we can use the Pythagorean Identity: sin2x+cos2x=1⟺sin2x=1−cos2x
3sin4x−2sin6x=3(sin2x)2−2(sin2x)3=(sin2x)2(3−2sin2x)=(1−cos2x)2(3−2(1−cos2x))=(1−2cos2x+cos4x)(1+2cos2x)=1−3cos4x+2cos6x
