Answer:

Given:

cos3A = 3sinA - 4sin³A

To prove:

sinAsin(60°-A)sin(60°+A) = 1/4 sin3A

Proof:

LHS = sinAsin(60°-A)sin(60°+A)

= sinA[sin(60°-A)sin(60°+A)]

= sinA[2sin30°cosA]

= sinA[2(1/2)cosA]

= sinAcosA

= 1/2sin2A

= 1/2[2sinAcosA]

= 1/2[cos(3A-A) - cos(3A+A)]

= 1/2[cos2A - cos4A]

= 1/2[1 - 2cos2Acos2A]

= 1/2[1 - 2(1/2)^2cos2A]

= 1/2[1 - 2(1/4)cos2A]

= 1/2[1 - 1/2cos2A]

= 1/2[1/2(1 - cos2A)]

= 1/4[1 - cos2A]

= 1/4[2sin^2A]

= 1/4sin^3A

= RHS

Hence proved.
