We need to prove -
\frac{\sin \theta -2\sin ^{3}\theta }{2\cos ^{3}\theta -\cos \theta }= \tan \theta

Taking LHS;
[we know the identity \cos2\theta = 2\cos^2\theta-1=\cos^2\theta-\sin^2\theta]

\\\Rightarrow \frac{\sin \theta(1 -2\sin ^{2}\theta) }{\cos\theta(2\cos ^{2}\theta -1) }\\\\ \Rightarrow \frac{\sin\theta(\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta-2\sin^\theta)}{\cos\theta.\cos2\theta}\\\\ \Rightarrow \frac{\sin\theta.\cos2\theta}{\cos\theta.\cos2\theta}\\\\ \Rightarrow \tan\theta =RHS

Hence proved.
