To prove the first trigonometry identity, we start with the left side of the equation:

(1 โˆ’ cos^2ฮธ) sinฮธ cos^2ฮธ

Using the Pythagorean identity sin^2ฮธ + cos^2ฮธ = 1, we can rewrite cos^2ฮธ as:

1 โˆ’ sin^2ฮธ

Substituting this back into the previous equation, we get:

(1 โˆ’ cos^2ฮธ) sinฮธ (1 โˆ’ sin^2ฮธ)

Expanding this multiplication gives:

sinฮธ โˆ’ sin^3ฮธ

Now, using the identity sin^3ฮธ = sinฮธ(1 โˆ’ cos^2ฮธ), which can be derived from sin^2ฮธ = 1 โˆ’ cos^2ฮธ, we can rewrite the previous equation as:

sinฮธ โˆ’ sinฮธ(1 โˆ’ cos^2ฮธ)

Simplifying further gives:

sinฮธ โˆ’ sinฮธ + sinฮธcos^2ฮธ

Combining like terms, we obtain:

sinฮธcos^2ฮธ

Since sinฮธcos^2ฮธ is equal to (1/2)sinฮธ(2cos^2ฮธ), which is equal to (1/2)(2sinฮธcosฮธcosฮธ) by using the double angle identity, we can rewrite sinฮธcos^2ฮธ as:

(1/2)sin2ฮธcosฮธ

Using the identity sin2ฮธ = 2sinฮธcosฮธ, we get:

(1/2)(2sinฮธcosฮธ)cosฮธ

Simplifying further:

(1/2)(2sinฮธcos^2ฮธ)

Now, using the identity cos^2ฮธ = 1 โˆ’ sin^2ฮธ, we can rewrite cos^2ฮธ as:

(1/2)(2sinฮธ(1 โˆ’ sin^2ฮธ))

Expanding the multiplication gives:

sinฮธ โˆ’ sin^3ฮธ

This is equal to the right side of the equation, thus proving the identity:

(1 โˆ’ cos^2ฮธ)sinฮธcos^2ฮธ = 1
