Question

prove that cos3A=4cos^3A-3cosA

Answer 1

cos 3A

= cos (2A + A)

= cos 2A cos A - sin 2A sin A

= (2 cos^2 A - 1) cos A - 2 sin A cos A ∙ sin A

= 2 cos^3 A - cos A - 2 cos A (1 - cos^2 A)

= 2 cos^3 A - cos A - 2 cos A + 2 cos^3 A

= 4 cos^3 A - 3 cos A

Therefore,  cos 3A = 4 cos^3 A - 3 cos A proved
