The discussion centers on addressing doubts regarding the derivation of a specific numerator step in a mathematical context. Participants explore whether there are alternative solutions to the problem posed, particularly in relation to the identity $\sin^2x + \cos^2 x=1$. An alternative formulation using complex numbers, $\sin^2x - i^2 \cos^2 x=1$, is suggested for further exploration. The substitution of $x=\frac{2\pi}{9}$ is proposed as a specific case to investigate. Overall, the thread seeks clarity on the validity of these steps and potential solutions.

Doubt in marked step(Numerator) that how it came from first?
Is there any alternative solution for this?

We generally have $\sin^2x + \cos^2 x=1$.
So $\sin^2x - i^2 \cos^2 x=1$ as well.
Now substitute $x=\frac{2\pi}{9}$. 🤔
 
Thanks
