Solution steps

sin (x) = 2 sin (3 x)

Subtract

2 sin (3 x)

from both sides

sin (x) - 2 sin (3 x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (x) - 2 sin (3 x)

sin (3 x) = 3 sin (x) - 4 sin^{3} (x)

sin (3 x)

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (3 x)

Rewrite as

= sin (2 x + x)

Use the Angle Sum identity:

sin (s + t) = sin (s) cos (t) + cos (s) sin (t)

= sin (2 x) cos (x) + cos (2 x) sin (x)

Use the Double Angle identity:

sin (2 x) = 2 sin (x) cos (x)

= cos (2 x) sin (x) + cos (x) 2 sin (x) cos (x)

Simplify

cos (2 x) sin (x) + cos (x) \cdot 2 sin (x) cos (x) : sin (x) cos (2 x) + 2 cos^{2} (x) sin (x)

cos (2 x) sin (x) + cos (x) 2 sin (x) cos (x)

= sin (x) cos (2 x) + 2 cos^{2} (x) sin (x)

= sin (x) cos (2 x) + 2 cos^{2} (x) sin (x)

Use the Double Angle identity:

cos (2 x) = 1 - 2 sin^{2} (x)

= (1 - 2 sin^{2} (x)) sin (x) + 2 cos^{2} (x) sin (x)

Use the Pythagorean identity:

cos^{2} (x) + sin^{2} (x) = 1

cos^{2} (x) = 1 - sin^{2} (x)

= (1 - 2 sin^{2} (x)) sin (x) + 2 (1 - sin^{2} (x)) sin (x)
