find all the values of θ, in the interval 0≤θ≤2π  for which sin 3θ−sin θ=(√(3cos 2θ))

$${find}\:{all}\:{the}\:{values}\:{of}\:\theta,\:{in}\:{the}\:{interval}\:\mathrm{0}\leqslant\theta\leqslant\mathrm{2}\pi \\ $$$${for}\:{which}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{3}\theta−\mathrm{sin}\:\theta=\sqrt{\mathrm{3cos}\:\mathrm{2}\theta} \\ $$

i pressume your question is   sin 3θ − sin θ = (√3) cos 2θ for 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π  Recall sin A − sin B = 2 cos (((A + B)/2)) sin (((A−B)/2))   ⇒ 2 cos (((3θ + θ)/2)) sin (((3θ−θ)/2)) = (√3) cos 2θ   ⇒ 2 cos 2θ sin θ = (√3) cos 2θ  ⇒ 2cos 2θ sin θ−(√3) cos 2θ = 0    cos 2θ(2 sin θ−(√3) ) = 0   ⇔ cos 2θ = 0 ⇒ 2θ = 2πn ± (π/2) ⇒ θ = (1/2)(2πn ± (π/2)) n ∈ Z^+       sin θ = ((√3)/2)  ⇒  πn + (−1)^n (π/3) n∈ Z^+   general solution θ =  { (((1/2)(2πn ± (π/2)))),((πn +(−1)^n (π/3))) :} n ∈ Z^+   n = 0, ⇒θ = (π/4), (π/3)   n = 1, ⇒ θ = ((4π)/3), ((3π)/4)  ⇒ solution S = {(π/4),(π/3),((4π)/3),((3π)/4)}
