Trigonometry

Triple angle identity for sines function is used to represent sines of a triple angle in terms of sines of one-third of the triple angle. More specifically, sines of a triple angle equals to the difference between three multiples of sines of one-third of the triple angle and 4 multiples of sines of one-third of the triple angle to power three.

Triple angle identity for sines function is often used to simplify trigonometric expressions or solve specific cubic equations.

Given sines of a triple angle, there are three solutions for the cubic root of sines of one-third of the triple angle according to de Moivre’s formula. It is also true to find solutions for the cubic equations that are alike to the triple root identity.
