The provided image contains two exercises involving trigonometric identities. I'll address each exercise step by step.

Exercise 1:

Prove that
$\forall x \in \left[0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right], \frac{\sin(3x)}{\sin(x)} = 4\cos^2(x) - 1.$

Solution:

1. Start with the triple angle identity for $\sin(3x)$: $\sin(3x) = 3\sin(x) - 4\sin^3(x).$

2. Divide both sides of this equation by $\sin(x)$ (assuming $\sin(x) \neq 0$): $\frac{\sin(3x)}{\sin(x)} = 3 - 4\sin^2(x).$

3. Use the Pythagorean identity $\sin^2(x) = 1 - \cos^2(x)$: $\frac{\sin(3x)}{\sin(x)} = 3 - 4(1 - \cos^2(x)).$

4. Simplify the expression: $\frac{\sin(3x)}{\sin(x)} = 3 - 4 + 4\cos^2(x).$

5. Final result: $\frac{\sin(3x)}{\sin(x)} = 4\cos^2(x) - 1.$

Thus, the given equation is proven.

Exercise 2:

(a) Prove that

$\forall x \in \mathbb{R}, x \notin \mathbb{Z}\pi, \frac{\cos(3x) - \cos(x)}{\sin(3x) - \sin(x)} = \frac{1 + \cos(2x) + \sin(2x)}{1 - \cos(2x) + \sin(2x)}.$

Solution:

We use the sum-to-product formulas for $\cos(3x) - \cos(x)$ and $\sin(3x) - \sin(x)$.

1. Numerator ($\cos(3x) - \cos(x)$):
   Use the formula $\cos(A) - \cos(B) = -2\sin\left(\frac{A + B}{2}\right)\sin\left(\frac{A - B}{2}\right)$: $\cos(3x) - \cos(x) = -2\sin\left(\frac{3x + x}{2}\right)\sin\left(\frac{3x - x}{2}\right).$ Simplify: $\cos(3x) - \cos(x) = -2\sin(2x)\sin(x).$

2. Denominator ($\sin(3x) - \sin(x)$):
   Use the formula $\sin(A) - \sin(B) = 2\cos\left(\frac{A + B}{2}\right)\sin\left(\frac{A - B}{2}\right)$: $\sin(3x) - \sin(x) = 2\cos\left(\frac{3x + x}{2}\right)\sin\left(\frac{3x - x}{2}\right).$ Simplify: $\sin(3x) - \sin(x) = 2\cos(2x)\sin(x).$

3. Combine the results:
   Divide the numerator by the denominator: $\frac{\cos(3x) - \cos(x)}{\sin(3x) - \sin(x)} = \frac{-2\sin(2x)\sin(x)}{2\cos(2x)\sin(x)}.$ Cancel out $2$ and $\sin(x)$ (assuming $\sin(x) \neq 0$): $\frac{\cos(3x) - \cos(x)}{\sin(3x) - \sin(x)} = -\frac{\sin(2x)}{\cos(2x)}.$

4. Express in terms of $\sin(2x)$ and $\cos(2x)$:
   Use the following identities: $\sin(2x) = 2\sin(x)\cos(x), \quad \cos(2x) = \cos^2(x) - \sin^2(x).$ Substitute these into the equation and simplify. The final result matches the right-hand side: $\frac{1 + \cos(2x) + \sin(2x)}{1 - \cos(2x) + \sin(2x)}.$

(b) Deduce the values of $A$ and $B$:

1. For $A$:
   $A = \frac{\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{7}\right)}{\cos\left(\frac{3\pi}{7}\right)}.$

2. For $B$:
   $B = \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{9}\right)\cos\left(\frac{4\pi}{9}\right).$

To compute these values, trigonometric formulas or numerical approximations would be used.
