Solution steps

sin (x) cos (2 x) > 0

Use the following identity:

cos (2 x) = 1 - 2 sin^{2} (x)

(1 - 2 sin^{2} (x)) sin (x) > 0

Let:

u = sin (x)

(1 - 2 u^{2}) u > 0

(1 - 2 u^{2}) u > 0 : u < - \frac{2}{2} or 0 < u < \frac{2}{2}

(1 - 2 u^{2}) u > 0

Factor

(1 - 2 u^{2}) u : - u (2 u + 1) (2 u - 1)

(1 - 2 u^{2}) u

Factor

- 2 u^{2} + 1 : - (2 u + 1) (2 u - 1)

- 2 u^{2} + 1

Factor out common term

- 1

= - (2 u^{2} - 1)

Factor

2 u^{2} - 1 : (2 u + 1) (2 u - 1)

2 u^{2} - 1

Rewrite

2 u^{2} - 1

(2 u)^{2} - 1^{2}

2 u^{2} - 1

Apply radical rule:

a = (a)^{2}

2 = (2)^{2}

= (2)^{2} u^{2} - 1

Rewrite

1

1^{2}

= (2)^{2} u^{2} - 1^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

a^{m} b^{m} = (ab)^{m}

(2)^{2} u^{2} = (2 u)^{2}

= (2 u)^{2} - 1^{2}

= (2 u)^{2} - 1^{2}

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

x^{2} - y^{2} = (x + y) (x - y)

(2 u)^{2} - 1^{2} = (2 u + 1) (2 u - 1)

= (2 u + 1) (2 u - 1)

= - (2 u + 1) (2 u - 1)

= - u (2 u + 1) (2 u - 1)

- u (2 u + 1) (2 u - 1) > 0

Multiply both sides by

- 1

(reverse the inequality)

(- u (2 u + 1) (2 u - 1)) (- 1) < 0 \cdot (- 1)
