Dear Nirabhra

sin(x-y)=sinx*cosy-cosx*siny

=1/√2 [(siny-sin3y)*cosy - (cosy + cos3y)*siny]

=1/√2 [siny(1-sin2y)*cosy - (cosy + cos3y)*siny]

=1/√2 [siny*cos2y*cosy - (cosy + cos3y)*siny]

=1/√2 [siny*cos3y - (cosy + cos3y)*siny]

take siny common

=1/√2 * siny [cos3y - cosy - cos3y]

= - siny*cosy/√2

= -sin2y/2√2

All the best.
