Theorem

$\sin^3 x = \dfrac {3 \sin x - \sin 3 x} 4$


Proof

\(\ds \sin 3 x\) \(=\) \(\ds 3 \sin x - 4 \sin^3 x\) Triple Angle Formula for Sine
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) \(\ds 4 \sin^3 x\) \(=\) \(\ds 3 \sin x - \sin 3 x\) rearranging
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) \(\ds \sin^3 x\) \(=\) \(\ds \frac {3 \sin x - \sin 3 x} 4\) dividing both sides by $4$

$\blacksquare$
