Given that sin A + sin B + sin C = 0
Then find the value of cos ( B − C ) − cos ( B + C ) 2 sin 2 A + cos ( C − A ) − cos ( C + A ) 2 sin 2 B + cos ( A − B ) − cos ( A + B ) 2 sin 2 C

We have cos ( B − C ) − cos ( B + C ) 2 sin 2 A + cos ( C − A ) − cos ( C + A ) 2 sin 2 B + cos ( A − B ) − cos ( A + B ) 2 sin 2 C = 2 \sinBsinC 2 sin 2 A + 2 \sinCsinA 2 sin 2 B + 2 \sinAsinB 2 sin 2 C

@Skanda Prasad , as for \frac, we should put a backslash "\" before functions, such as \sin A sin A , \cos cos , \tan tan , \gcd g cd , \ln ln , \int ∫ , \sqrt x x , \sum ∑ . Note that functions are not in italic which is for variables and constant (note A and x ).

Similar solution with @Skanda Prasad 's
X = cos ( B − C ) − cos ( B + C ) 2 sin 2 A + cos ( C − A ) − cos ( C + A ) 2 sin 2 B + cos ( A − B ) − cos ( A + B ) 2 sin 2 C = c y c ∑ cos ( B − C ) − cos ( B + C ) 2 sin 2 A = c y c ∑ cos B cos C + sin B sin C − cos B cos C + sin B sin C 2 sin 2 A = c y c ∑ 2 sin B sin C 2 sin 2 A = c y c ∑ sin B sin C sin 2 A Let a = sin A , b = sin B , c = sin C = b c a 2 + c a b 2 + a b c 2 = a b c a 3 + b 3 + c 3 Note: a + b + c = 0 ⟹ a 3 + b 3 + c 3 = 3 a b c = a b c 3 a b c = 3
Note:
a + b + c a 3 + b 3 + c 3 = 0 = ( a + b + c ) ( a 2 + b 2 + c 2 − a b − b c − c a ) + 3 a b c = 3 a b c
