Step 1.1

Use the double-angle identity to transform $\cos (2 x)$ to $1 - 2 \sin^{2} (x)$ .

$3 \sin (x) - (1 - 2 \sin^{2} (x)) + 1$

Step 1.2

Apply the distributive property.

$3 \sin (x) - 1 \cdot 1 - (- 2 \sin^{2} (x)) + 1$

Step 1.3

Multiply $- 1$ by $1$ .

$3 \sin (x) - 1 - (- 2 \sin^{2} (x)) + 1$

Step 1.4

Multiply $- 2$ by $- 1$ .

$3 \sin (x) - 1 + 2 \sin^{2} (x) + 1$

Step 2

Combine the opposite terms in $3 \sin (x) - 1 + 2 \sin^{2} (x) + 1$ .
