Not sure where to start for part b. I tried it a few times starting with RHS and got nowhere and I'm not sure how to introduce cos^3 and sin^4 for LHS

start from LHS = 128cos^3sin^4 (pretend the theta is there, and don't bother with starting with RHS, this way is quicker).
then split it up, since you're aiming to get a form similar to z^n + (or -) 1/z^n or 2cosn or 2isinn (which helps you fulfil the term 'Hence')
you will get 2^3 x 2^4 x cos^3 x sin^4 (again, pretend theta is there), which can then be simplified by grouping the common powers together to get (2cos)^3 x (2sin)^4. using the identities from part (a), you can quickly equate them to be (z + 1/z)^3 x (z-1/z)^4. expand each of the individual brackets out, then you'll end up getting the RHS.

Excuse the messy iPad writing (I’m in bed lol) but here’s the process of the expansion above

Edit: that should be a minus where I wrote z + 1/z to 4th power, my brain not working zzz
