To find \( \sin 168^{\circ} \), we can use the fact that \( \sin(180^{\circ} - \theta) = \sin \theta \). Thus, \( \sin 168^{\circ} = \sin(180^{\circ} - 12^{\circ}) = \sin 12^{\circ} \). Since \( \sin^2(\theta) + \cos^2(\theta) = 1 \), we have \( \sin^2(12^{\circ}) = 1 - \cos^2(12^{\circ}) = 1 - m^2 \). For \( \cos 192^{\circ} \), we can use the identity \( \cos(180^{\circ} + \theta) = -\cos \theta \). So, \( \cos 192^{\circ} = \cos(180^{\circ} + 12^{\circ}) = -\cos 12^{\circ} = -m \). When calculating \( \tan 372^{\circ} \), we first simplify the angle by subtracting \( 360^{\circ} \): \( 372^{\circ} - 360^{\circ} = 12^{\circ} \). Thus, \( \tan 372^{\circ} = \tan 12^{\circ} \), which can be expressed in terms of sine and cosine as \( \tan 12^{\circ} = \frac{\sin 12^{\circ}}{\cos 12^{\circ}} = \frac{\sqrt{1 - m^2}}{m} \). Now onto the next simplification! To simplify \( \sin^{2}(180^{\circ} + x) \), we remember that \( \sin(180^{\circ} + x) = -\sin x \), which means \( \sin^{2}(180^{\circ} + x) = \sin^{2} x \). The term \( \cos(-x) \) simplifies to \( \cos x \) and \( \tan(90^{\circ} - x) = \cot x \). So the expression simplifies to \( \sin^{2} x + \cos x \cdot \cot x \cdot \sin(540^{\circ} + x) \). For the identity \( \frac{\sin\left(x - 90^{\circ}\right) \tan(-x)}{\cos\left(450^{\circ} + x\right)} \), we rewrite each term. \( \sin(x - 90^{\circ}) = -\cos x \), and \( \tan(-x) = -\tan x \). The cosine of the angle simplifies to \( \cos(450^{\circ} + x) = \sin x \). Putting it together gives the left side of the equation equal to \(-1\), thereby proving the identity. Finally, to solve \( 3 \sin x = 2 \cos^{2} x \), we can use \( \cos^{2} x = 1 - \sin^{2} x \). Substituting this into the equation yields a quadratic equation in terms of sine, which can be solved for the general solutions. There you have it!
