Solution
`(sin 3θ - cos 3θ)/(sin θ + cos θ) + 1` = 2 sin 2θ.
Explanation:
Let `(sin 3θ - cos 3θ)/(sin θ + cos θ) = N/D` ...(say)
Then, N = 3 sin θ – 4 sin3 θ – (4 cos3 θ – 3 cos θ)
= 3(sin θ + cos θ) – 4(sin3 θ + cos3 θ)
= (sin θ + cos θ) {3 – 4(sin2 θ – sin θ cos θ + cos2 θ)}
∴ `N/D + 1 = ((sin θ + cos θ){3 - 4(1 - sin θ cos θ)})/(sin θ + cos θ) + 1`
= 3 – 4(1 – sin θ cos θ) + 1
= 4 sin θ cos θ
= 2 sin 2θ
