3x−4x^3 =(1/2) we know 3 sin θ−4 sin^3 θ=sin 3θ, so if sin 3θ=(1/2), i.e. 3θ=2kπ+sin^(−1) (1/2) then x=sin θ=sin (((2kπ)/3)+(1/3)sin^(−1) (1/2)) ⇒x=sin (((2kπ)/3)+(π/(18))) with k=0,1,2 x_1 =sin (π/(18)) x_2 =sin (((2π)/3)+(π/(18)))=sin ((5π)/(18)) x_3 =sin (((4π)/3)+(π/(18)))=−sin ((7π)/(18))

$$\mathrm{3}{x}−\mathrm{4}{x}^{\mathrm{3}} =\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${we}\:{know}\:\mathrm{3}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\theta−\mathrm{4}\:\mathrm{sin}^{\mathrm{3}} \:\theta=\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{3}\theta,\:{so} \\ $$$${if}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{3}\theta=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}},\:{i}.{e}.\:\mathrm{3}\theta=\mathrm{2}{k}\pi+\mathrm{sin}^{−\mathrm{1}} \frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${then}\:{x}=\mathrm{sin}\:\theta=\mathrm{sin}\:\left(\frac{\mathrm{2}{k}\pi}{\mathrm{3}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}\mathrm{sin}^{−\mathrm{1}} \frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{x}=\mathrm{sin}\:\left(\frac{\mathrm{2}{k}\pi}{\mathrm{3}}+\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{18}}\right)\:{with}\:{k}=\mathrm{0},\mathrm{1},\mathrm{2} \\ $$$${x}_{\mathrm{1}} =\mathrm{sin}\:\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{18}} \\ $$$${x}_{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{sin}\:\left(\frac{\mathrm{2}\pi}{\mathrm{3}}+\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{18}}\right)=\mathrm{sin}\:\frac{\mathrm{5}\pi}{\mathrm{18}} \\ $$$${x}_{\mathrm{3}} =\mathrm{sin}\:\left(\frac{\mathrm{4}\pi}{\mathrm{3}}+\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{18}}\right)=−\mathrm{sin}\:\frac{\mathrm{7}\pi}{\mathrm{18}} \\ $$
