Pair the outer and inner terms (sin x + sin 7x) and (sin 3x + sin 5x), convert each pair with the sum-to-product formula, then factor the common cos 2x.

We must prove:

sin⁡x+sin⁡3x+sin⁡5x+sin⁡7x=4cos⁡xcos⁡2xsin⁡4x\sin x+\sin3x+\sin5x+\sin7x = 4\cos x\cos2x\sin4x

Group symmetric pairs:

(sin⁡x+sin⁡7x)+(sin⁡3x+sin⁡5x)(\sin x+\sin7x) + (\sin3x+\sin5x)

Using sin⁡A+sin⁡B=2sin⁡(A+B2)cos⁡(A−B2)\sin A+\sin B = 2\sin\left(\dfrac{A+B}2\right)\cos\left(\dfrac{A-B}2\right):

sin⁡x+sin⁡7x=2sin⁡(x+7x2)cos⁡(7x−x2)=2sin⁡4xcos⁡3x\sin x+\sin7x = 2\sin\left(\frac{x+7x}2\right)\cos\left(\frac{7x-x}2\right) = 2\sin4x\cos3x

sin⁡3x+sin⁡5x=2sin⁡(3x+5x2)cos⁡(5x−3x2)=2sin⁡4xcos⁡x\sin3x+\sin5x = 2\sin\left(\frac{3x+5x}2\right)\cos\left(\frac{5x-3x}2\right) = 2\sin4x\cos x

Adding:

2sin⁡4xcos⁡3x+2sin⁡4xcos⁡x=2sin⁡4x(cos⁡3x+cos⁡x)2\sin4x\cos3x+2\sin4x\cos x = 2\sin4x(\cos3x+\cos x)
