Prove the following with the help of identities:
sin6θ + cos6θ = 1 – 3sin3θ cos2θ
Using the identity: a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 + b2 – ab)
Here, a = sin2 θ and b = cos2 θ
⇒ (sin2 θ + cos2 θ)(sin4 θ + cos4 θ – sin2 θ.cos2 θ)
Now, Using: sin2θ + cos2θ = 1 and a2 + b2 = (a + b)2 – 2.a.b
⇒ (1)((sin2 θ + cos2 θ)2 – 2.sin2 θ.cos2 θ – sin2θ.cos2θ )
⇒ ((1)2 – 2.sin2 θ.cos2 θ – sin2 θ.cos2 θ)
⇒ (1 – 3.sin2 θ.cos2 θ)
= R.H.S
Hence, proved.
