If x , y x, y are any real numbers, such that x 2 + y 2 = 1 x^2 + y^2 = 1 and 20 x 3 15 x = 3 20x^3 - 15x = 3 then

20 y 3 15 y = ? |20y^3 - 15y| = ?

Here, . |.| denotes absolute value.

From x 2 + y 2 = 1 x^2 + y^2 = 1 , we assum x = cos ( a ) x = \cos(a) and y = sin ( a ) y = \sin(a)

Now, 20 x 3 15 x = 3 20x^3 - 15x = 3

4 x 3 3 x = 3 5 4x^3 - 3x = \frac{3}{5}

4 cos 3 ( a ) 3 cos ( a ) = 3 5 4\cos^3(a) - 3\cos(a) = \frac{3}{5}

cos ( 3 a ) = 3 5 \cos(3a) = \frac{3}{5}

Then, sin ( 3 a ) = 4 5 , 4 5 \sin(3a) = \frac{4}{5}, \frac{-4}{5}

3 sin ( a ) 4 sin 3 ( a ) = 4 5 3\sin(a) - 4\sin^3(a) = \frac{4}{5}

3 y 4 y 3 = 4 5 3y - 4y^3 = \frac{4}{5}

15 y 20 y 3 = 4 15y - 20y^3 = 4

20 y 3 15 y = 4 |20y^3 - 15y| = 4

Nice solution.
