Answer

For $cos3\theta$, equate the real part from both sides $cos3\theta=cos^{3}\theta-3sin^{2}\theta cos\theta$ For $sin3\theta$, equate the real part from both sides $sin3\theta=3sin\theta cos^{2}\theta-sin^{3}\theta$

Work Step by Step

Consider $z=cos\theta+isin\theta$ Cubing this we have, $(cos\theta+isin\theta)^{3}=cos^{3}\theta-3sin^{2}\theta cos\theta+i(3sin\theta cos^{2}\theta-sin^{3}\theta)$ Apply De-Moivre's theorem on the left side: $z^{n}=r^{n}(cosn\theta+isinn\theta)$ we have $1^{3}(cos3\theta+isin3\theta)=cos^{3}\theta-3sin^{2}\theta cos\theta+i(3sin\theta cos^{2}\theta-sin^{3}\theta)$ $(cos3\theta+isin3\theta)=cos^{3}\theta-3sin^{2}\theta cos\theta+i(3sin\theta cos^{2}\theta-sin^{3}\theta)$ For $cos3\theta$, equate the real part from both sides $cos3\theta=cos^{3}\theta-3sin^{2}\theta cos\theta$ For $sin3\theta$, equate the real part from both sides $sin3\theta=3sin\theta cos^{2}\theta-sin^{3}\theta$
