Question
Factorize: sin3θ + cos3θ
Hence, prove the following identity:
`(sin^3θ + cos^3θ)/(sin θ + cos θ) + sin θ cos θ = 1`

Solution
sin3θ + cos3θ
= (sin θ + cos θ)(sin2θ + cos2 – sin θ cos θ)
= (sin θ + cos θ)(1 – sin θ cos θ). ...(i)
L.H.S = `(sin^3θ + cos^3θ)/(sinθ + cosθ) + sinθcosθ`
= `((sinθ + cosθ)(1 - sinθcosθ))/((sinθ + cosθ)) + sinθcosθ` ...(From(i))
= 1 – sin θ cos θ + sin θ.cos θ
Simplify by cancelling – sin θ cos θ and + sin θ.cos θ
= 1
= R.H.S.
