The given relation is:
sin θ + sin 2 θ + sin 3 θ = 1
∴ sin θ + sin 3 θ = cos 2 θ
Squaring both sides:
sin 2 θ + sin 6 θ + 2 sin 4 θ = cos 4 θ
Replacing sin 2 θ by 1 − cos 2 θ :
( 1 − cos 2 θ ) + ( 1 − cos 2 θ ) 3 + 2 ( 1 − cos 2 θ ) 2 = cos 4 θ
Now just expanding and rearranging we get:
cos 6 θ − 4 cos 4 θ + 8 cos 2 θ = 4
