View full question & answer→We have to prove that $\cos ^3 x \sin 3 x+\sin ^3 x \cos 3 x=\frac{3}{4} \sin 4 x$.
We know that,
$\cos 3 \theta=4 \cos ^3 \theta-3 \cos \theta$
$\Rightarrow 4 \cos ^3 \theta=\cos 3 \theta+3 \cos \theta$
$\Rightarrow \cos ^3 \theta=\frac{\cos 39+3 \cos \theta}{4} \ldots \text { (i) }$
And similarly
$\Rightarrow \sin 3 \theta=3 \sin \theta-4 \sin ^3 \theta$
$\Rightarrow 4 \sin ^3 \theta=3 \sin \theta-\sin 3 \theta$
$\Rightarrow \sin ^3 \theta=\frac{3 \sin \theta-\sin 3 \theta}{4} \ldots$
Now,
$\text{LHS} =\cos ^3 x \sin 3 x+\sin ^3 x \cos 3 x$
Substituting the values from equation $(i)$ and $(ii),$ we get
$\Rightarrow\left(\frac{\cos 3 x+3 \cos x}{4}\right) \sin 3 x+\left(\frac{\cos 3 x-3 \cos x}{4}\right) \cos 3 x$
$=\frac{1}{4}(\sin 3 x \cos 3 x+3 \sin 3 x \cos x+3 \sin x \cos 3 x-\sin 3 x \cos 3 x)$
$=\frac{1}{4}[3(\sin 3 x \cos x+\sin x \cos 3 x)+0]$
$=\frac{1}{4}(3 \sin (3 x+x))$
$\text { (as } \sin (x+y)=\sin x \cos y+\cos x \sin y)$
$\Rightarrow \frac{3}{4} \sin 4 x$
$\text { LHS }=\text { RHS }$
