Starting with the other side of the equation
sin(10x)sin(2x)
Since the left side has 6x and 4x, 10x =
6x + 4x and 2x = 4x - 2x
Then we use the addition and
subtraction formulas
sin(10x) = sin(6x+4x) =
sin(6x)cos(4x)+sin(4x)cos(6x)
sin(2x) = sin(6x - 4x) =
sin(6x)cos(4x) - sin(4x)cos(6x)
Now combine the above
formulas
sin(10x)sin(2x) =
(sin(6x)cos(4x)+sin(4x)cos(6x))(sin(6x)cos(4x) -
sin(4x)cos(6x))
Multiply to
get
= sin^(6x)cos^2(4x) + sin(4x)cos(6x)sin(6x)cos(4x) -
sin(6x)cos(4x)sin(4x)cos(6x) - sin^(4x)cos^(6x)
The middle
terms sin(4x)cos(6x)sin(6x)cos(4x) - sin(6x)cos(4x)sin(4x)cos(6x) is zero so we
eliminate them to get
= sin^(6x)cos^2(4x) -
sin^(4x)cos^2(6x)
Now since cos^2(a) = 1 - sin^2(a) we
get
= sin^2(6x)(1-sin^2(4x)) - sin^2(4x)(1 -
sin^2(6x))
Multiplying
=
sin^2(6x) - sin^2(6x)sin^2(4x) - sin^2(4x) +
sin^2(4x)sin^2(6x)
The second and fourth terms are
identical but opposite in sign so they are eleiminated and we get the expression we are
expecting.
= sin^2(6x) -
sin^2(4x)
So
sin(10x)sin(2x) =
sin^2(6x) - sin^2(4x) which is the identity we wanted to verify.
