Prove the following identities, where the angles involved are acute angles for which the trigonometric ratios are defined:

sin3 θ+cos3 θsin θ + cos θ+sin θ cos θ=1.\dfrac{\text{sin}^3 \text{ θ} + \text{cos}^3 \text{ θ}}{\text{sin θ + cos θ}} + \text{sin θ cos θ} = 1.

Solving L.H.S.,

sin3 θ+cos3 θsin θ + cos θ+sin θ cos θ=(sin θ + cos θ)(sin2 θ+cos2 θsin θ cos θ)sin θ + cos θ+sin θ cos θ=sin2 θ+cos2 θsin θ cos θ + sin θ cos θ=1.\Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{sin}^3 \text{ θ} + \text{cos}^3 \text{ θ}}{\text{sin θ + cos θ}} + \text{sin θ cos θ} \\[1em] = \dfrac{\text{(sin θ + cos θ)}(\text{sin}^2 \text{ θ} + \text{cos}^2 \text{ θ} - \text{sin θ cos θ})}{\text{sin θ + cos θ}} + \text{sin θ cos θ} \\[1em] = \text{sin}^2 \text{ θ} + \text{cos}^2 \text{ θ} - \text{sin θ cos θ + sin θ cos θ} \\[1em] = 1.

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S. hence proved that sin3 θ+cos3 θsin θ + cos θ+sin θ cos θ=1\dfrac{\text{sin}^3 \text{ θ} + \text{cos}^3 \text{ θ}}{\text{sin θ + cos θ}} + \text{sin θ cos θ} = 1.
