by first writing sin3@ as sin(2@ +@), express sin3@ in terms of sin@
Hence solve the equation sin3@ =sin@ 0<=@<=360 degrees


@ = thetre

*theta. It might be beneficial to learn some basic LaTex, there's a guide here:

How many of these are you actually getting out? Did you get the last one out?


Use the sine double angle formula for A=2θA = 2\theta, B=θB = \theta, then use the double angle formulae again.

yes dont worry i have done all the sums so far

i have tried double angle foormula no luck

I was getting a little worried. If you're getting them out that's fine.

sin(A+B)=sinAcosB+cosAsinB\sin(A+B) = \sin A \cos B + \cos A \sin B

sin(2θ+θ)=sin2θcosθ+cos2θsinθ\therefore \sin(2\theta + \theta) = \sin 2\theta \cos \theta + \cos 2\theta \sin \theta
sin3θ=(2sinθcosθ)cosθ+(cos2θsin2θ)sinθ\therefore \sin 3\theta = (2\sin\theta\cos\theta)\cos\theta + (\cos^2 \theta - \sin^2 \theta)\sin \theta

Then you expand and use cos2θ+sin2θ=1\cos^2 \theta + \sin^2 \theta = 1.
