Solution steps

sin^{2} (x) + sin^{6} (x) = 3 cos^{2} (2 x)

Subtract

3 cos^{2} (2 x)

from both sides

sin^{2} (x) + sin^{6} (x) - 3 cos^{2} (2 x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

sin^{2} (x) + sin^{6} (x) - 3 cos^{2} (2 x)

Use the Double Angle identity:

cos (2 x) = 1 - 2 sin^{2} (x)

= sin^{2} (x) + sin^{6} (x) - 3 (1 - 2 sin^{2} (x))^{2}

Simplify

sin^{2} (x) + sin^{6} (x) - 3 (1 - 2 sin^{2} (x))^{2} : 13 sin^{2} (x) + sin^{6} (x) - 12 sin^{4} (x) - 3

sin^{2} (x) + sin^{6} (x) - 3 (1 - 2 sin^{2} (x))^{2}

(1 - 2 sin^{2} (x))^{2} : 1 - 4 sin^{2} (x) + 4 sin^{4} (x)

Apply Perfect Square Formula:

(a - b)^{2} = a^{2} - 2 ab + b^{2}

a = 1, b = 2 sin^{2} (x)

= 1^{2} - 2 \cdot 1 \cdot 2 sin^{2} (x) + (2 sin^{2} (x))^{2}

Simplify

1^{2} - 2 \cdot 1 \cdot 2 sin^{2} (x) + (2 sin^{2} (x))^{2} : 1 - 4 sin^{2} (x) + 4 sin^{4} (x)

1^{2} - 2 \cdot 1 \cdot 2 sin^{2} (x) + (2 sin^{2} (x))^{2}

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

= 1 - 2 \cdot 1 \cdot 2 sin^{2} (x) + (2 sin^{2} (x))^{2}

2 \cdot 1 \cdot 2 sin^{2} (x) = 4 sin^{2} (x)

2 \cdot 1 \cdot 2 sin^{2} (x)

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 \cdot 2 = 4

= 4 sin^{2} (x)

(2 sin^{2} (x))^{2} = 4 sin^{4} (x)

(2 sin^{2} (x))^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(a \cdot b)^{n} = a^{n} b^{n}

= 2^{2} (sin^{2} (x))^{2}

(sin^{2} (x))^{2} : sin^{4} (x)

Apply exponent rule:

(a^{b})^{c} = a^{b c}

= sin^{2 \cdot 2} (x)

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= sin^{4} (x)

= 2^{2} sin^{4} (x)

2^{2} = 4

= 4 sin^{4} (x)

= 1 - 4 sin^{2} (x) + 4 sin^{4} (x)

= 1 - 4 sin^{2} (x) + 4 sin^{4} (x)

= sin^{2} (x) + sin^{6} (x) - 3 (1 - 4 sin^{2} (x) + 4 sin^{4} (x))

Expand

- 3 (1 - 4 sin^{2} (x) + 4 sin^{4} (x)) : - 3 + 12 sin^{2} (x) - 12 sin^{4} (x)

- 3 (1 - 4 sin^{2} (x) + 4 sin^{4} (x))

Distribute parentheses

= (- 3) \cdot 1 + (- 3) (- 4 sin^{2} (x)) + (- 3) \cdot 4 sin^{4} (x)

Apply minus-plus rules

+ (- a) = - a, (- a) (- b) = ab

= - 3 \cdot 1 + 3 \cdot 4 sin^{2} (x) - 3 \cdot 4 sin^{4} (x)

Simplify

- 3 \cdot 1 + 3 \cdot 4 sin^{2} (x) - 3 \cdot 4 sin^{4} (x) : - 3 + 12 sin^{2} (x) - 12 sin^{4} (x)

- 3 \cdot 1 + 3 \cdot 4 sin^{2} (x) - 3 \cdot 4 sin^{4} (x)

Multiply the numbers:

3 \cdot 1 = 3

= - 3 + 3 \cdot 4 sin^{2} (x) - 3 \cdot 4 sin^{4} (x)

Multiply the numbers:

3 \cdot 4 = 12

= - 3 + 12 sin^{2} (x) - 12 sin^{4} (x)

= - 3 + 12 sin^{2} (x) - 12 sin^{4} (x)

= sin^{2} (x) + sin^{6} (x) - 3 + 12 sin^{2} (x) - 12 sin^{4} (x)

Simplify

sin^{2} (x) + sin^{6} (x) - 3 + 12 sin^{2} (x) - 12 sin^{4} (x) : 13 sin^{2} (x) + sin^{6} (x) - 12 sin^{4} (x) - 3

sin^{2} (x) + sin^{6} (x) - 3 + 12 sin^{2} (x) - 12 sin^{4} (x)

Group like terms

= sin^{2} (x) + sin^{6} (x) + 12 sin^{2} (x) - 12 sin^{4} (x) - 3

Add similar elements:
