TopicAddition & Double Angle Formulae
TypeDerive triple angle then evaluate integral
DifficultyStandard +0.3 Part (i) is a standard derivation using the addition formula cos(A+B) followed by the double angle formula—a routine exercise in formula manipulation. Part (ii) requires recognizing how to rearrange the identity to integrate cos³x, then evaluating a straightforward definite integral. This is typical P2/C3 material with clear signposting ('hence') and no novel insight required, making it slightly easier than average.

  1. By expanding \(\cos ( 2 x + x )\), show that $$\cos 3 x \equiv 4 \cos ^ { 3 } x - 3 \cos x$$
  2. Hence, or otherwise, show that $$\int _ { 0 } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi } \cos ^ { 3 } x \mathrm {~d} x = \frac { 2 } { 3 }$$
