$\cos3\theta=4\cos^3\theta-3\cos\theta$
$\cos3\theta=4\cos^3\theta-3\cos\theta$

Answer
Given:
$\theta=30^\circ\dots(1)$
To verify:
$\cos3\theta=4\cos^3\theta-3\cos\theta\dots(2)$
Now consider left hand side of the expression in equation (2)
Therefore
$\cos3\theta=\cos3\times30$
$=\cos90$
$=0$
Now consider right hand side of the expression to be verified in equation (2)
Therefore,
$4\cos^3\theta-3\cos\theta=4\cos^330-3\cos30$
$=4\bigg(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\bigg)^3-3\times\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}-\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$=0$
Hence it is verified that,
$\cos3\theta=4\cos^3\theta-3\cos\theta$
$\theta=30^\circ\dots(1)$
To verify:
$\cos3\theta=4\cos^3\theta-3\cos\theta\dots(2)$
Now consider left hand side of the expression in equation (2)
Therefore
$\cos3\theta=\cos3\times30$
$=\cos90$
$=0$
Now consider right hand side of the expression to be verified in equation (2)
Therefore,
$4\cos^3\theta-3\cos\theta=4\cos^330-3\cos30$
$=4\bigg(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\bigg)^3-3\times\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}-\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$=0$
Hence it is verified that,
$\cos3\theta=4\cos^3\theta-3\cos\theta$
