I already tried to do it, but my answer is incorrect! This is how I do it.
assuming $$2 \cos x = z + \frac1z\space\space\text{ and }\space\space 2j \sin x = z - \frac1z$$ $$(2j \sin x)^6 \cdot \frac12 = \left(z - \frac1z\right)^6 \cdot \frac12$$ $$32j \sin^6 x \cdot \frac12 = \left(z - \frac1z\right)^6 \cdot \frac12$$ I expanded $(z - \frac1z)^6$ using pascal's triangle, however this is what I got: $$z^6 + \frac1{z^6} - 6 \left(z^4 + \frac1{z^4}\right) + 15 \left(z^2 + \frac1{z^2}\right) - 20$$ $$2 \cos {6x} - 12 \cos {4x} + 30 \cos {2x} - 20$$ multiply it with $\frac12$, final answer is: $$\cos {6x} - 6 \cos {4x} + 15 \cos {2x} - 10$$
The "+" and "-" signs seems to be reversed compared to the actual answer, however I don't know what I did wrong! Can anyone help me?
Sorry for bad question format, I'm new to using StackExchange. Thank you for your help!
$2\sin^2x = 1- \cos2x$
So,
Now, $\cos^2A = \frac{1+\cos(2A)}{2}$ and $\cos^3(A) = \frac{\cos(3A) + 3\cos(A)}{4}$
So, $8\sin^6x = 1 -3\cos(2x)+ 3\frac{1+\cos(4x)}{2}-\frac{\cos(6x) + 3\cos(2x)}{4}$
Multipying both sides by $4$
$32\sin^6x = 4 - 12\cos(2x) + 6 + 6\cos(4x) - \cos(6x) - 3\cos(2x)$
