    2. Using your result from (a), show that

      (i) ​cos3θ=4cos3θ−3cosθ​

      (ii) ​sin3θ=3sinθ−4sin3θ​

      [4]
    3. Hence, or otherwise, show that ​1−3tan2A3tanA−tan3A​≡tan3A.

      [5]
    4. Using the identity demonstrated in (c), find the exact value of ​tan3θ, given that ​sinθ=53​.
