I saw your question posted earlier, but could not determine the meaning of the right side

look at the " 8sin^x2 " part
That does not make any sense
check your typing.

For a solution look at the answer by Scarlet half way down this page

The reply by Madhukar, which follows, ends up with the same result.
Perhaps you can take a hint from there after you have established what your right side has to be.
