B1: using binomial expansion and de Moivre’s theorem
M1*: (1st) correct expression for \(\sin 5\theta\) and substituting in \(\cos^2\theta = 1 - \sin^2\theta\)
A1: (1st) or \(16\sin^5\theta = \sin 5\theta + 20\sin^3\theta - 5\sin\theta\) or any correct rearrangement
M1*: (2nd) using binomial expansion and de Moivre’s theorem; correct expression for \(\sin 3\theta\) in terms of \(\sin\theta\) and \(\cos\theta\)
A1: (2nd) or \(\sin 3\theta = 3\sin\theta - 4\sin^3\theta\) or any correct rearrangement
M1dep: substituting expression for \(\sin^3\theta\) into \(\sin^5\theta\).
