Prove using trig identites
1 Answer
You just need to use the identity $\sin \theta = 2 \cos(\frac{\theta}{2})\sin (\frac{\theta}{2})$ twice. We have
\[\sin x = 2 \cos(\frac{x}{2})\sin (\frac{x}{2})=2 \cos(\frac{x}{2})[2 \cos(\frac{x}{4})\sin (\frac{x}{4}) ]\]
\[=4 \cos(\frac{x}{2}) \cos(\frac{x}{4})\sin (\frac{x}{4}).\]
