Prove each of the following identities:

Consider L.H.S. =

Using identities (a3 + b3) = (a + b)(a2 + b2 – ab) and (a3 – b3) = (a – b)(a2 + b2 + ab)


L.H.S. =


= (cos2 θ + sin2 θ – cos θ sin θ) + (cos2 θ + sin2 θ + cos θ sin θ)


= (1 – cos θ sin θ) + (1 + cos θ sin θ)


= 2


= R.H.S.


Hence, proved.
