Question

Prove that sin 4A = 4sinA cos3A – 4 cosA sin3A

Theorem
Advertisements

Solution

sin4A = sin(2A + 2A)

We know that,

sin(A + B) = sinA cosB + cosA sinB

Therefore, sin4A = sin2A cos2A + cos2A sin2A

⇒ sin4A = 2sin2A cos2A

From T-ratios of multiple angles,

We get,

sin2A = 2sinA cosA and cos2A = cos2A – sin2A

⇒ sin4A = 2(2sinA cosA)(cos2A – sin2A)

⇒ sin4A = 4sinA cos3A – 4cosA sin3A

Hence, sin4A = 4sin A cos3A – 4cosA sin3A
