# Sine Omega Identity

Prove that

$4 \sin (x) \sin (\omega x) \sin (\omega^2 x) = - (\sin (2x) + \sin (2 \omega x) + \sin (2 \omega^2 x))$

 Notation: $$\omega$$ denotes a primitive cube root of unity.

@Ishan Singh I think apart from usual trigonometry, this should mean something. How do you interpret "sines" of complex numbers geometrically?

Hyperbolic functions, like trigonometric, but on a hyperbola instead of a circle. For z = a+ib, you can use addition formula etc. and then rewrite in terms of hyperbolic trigonometric functions.
