    sin (3x)=sin (2x+x)=sin(2x)cos(x)+sin(x)cos(2x)  =2sin (x)cos^2 (x)+sin (x)×(2cos^2 (x)−1)  4sin (x)cos^2 (x)−sin (x)=sin (x)(4cos^2  (x)−1)    cos (2x)=2cos^2 (x)−1    sin 3x+cos 2x=0 ⇔  sin (x)(4cos^2 (x)−1)+2cos^2 (x)−1=0  sin (x)(4−4sin^2 (x)−1)+2−2sin^2 (x)−1=0  −4sin^3 (x)−2sin^2 (x)+3sin (x)+1=0  y=sin(x)  4y^3 +2y^2 −3y−1=0  (y+1)(4y^2 −2y−1)=0  y=−1 ⇒sin (x)=−1⇒x=((3π)/2)  4y^2 −2y−1=0  Δ=2^2 −4×4×(−1)=20  y=((2±(√(20)))/8) ⇒ y=((1±(√5))/4) ⇒ y=(φ/2) or y=((1−φ)/2)  sin (x)=(φ/2) ⇒ x=((3π)/(10)) or x=((7π)/(10))  sin (x)=((1−φ)/2) ⇒ x=((11π)/(10))  x={((3π)/(10)),((7π)/(10)),((11π)/(10)),((3π)/2)}
