Answer:

See the verification below.

Explanation:

Starting expression:
sin^3(x)+sin(x)\,cos^2(x)=sin(x)

Extract from the expression on the left of the equal sign the common factor "sin(x)":


sin^3(x)+sin(x)\,cos^2(x)=sin(x)\\sin(x)[sin^2(x)+cos^2(x)]=sin(x)

Now use the Pythagorean trigonometric identity:
sin^2(x)+cos^2(x)=1 to replace the expression in between square brackets with "1":


sin(x)[sin^2(x)+cos^2(x)]=sin(x)\\sin(x) \,[1]=sin(x)\\sin(x)=sin(x)

Therefore we have verified the identity
