Step 1: sin⁡5x+sin⁡3x=2sin⁡4xcos⁡x\sin5x+\sin3x=2\sin4x\cos x, so LHS =cot⁡4x⋅2sin⁡4xcos⁡x=2cos⁡4xsin⁡4xsin⁡4xcos⁡x=2cos⁡4xcos⁡x=\cot4x\cdot2\sin4x\cos x=2\dfrac{\cos4x}{\sin4x}\sin4x\cos x=2\cos4x\cos x.

Step 2: sin⁡5x−sin⁡3x=2cos⁡4xsin⁡x\sin5x-\sin3x=2\cos4x\sin x, so RHS =cot⁡x⋅2cos⁡4xsin⁡x=2cos⁡xsin⁡xcos⁡4xsin⁡x=2cos⁡4xcos⁡x=\cot x\cdot2\cos4x\sin x=2\dfrac{\cos x}{\sin x}\cos4x\sin x=2\cos4x\cos x. …
