Step 1
Use cos(A+B)=cosAcosBsinAsinB
cos2x=cos(x+x)
=cosxcosxsinxsinx
=cos2xsin2x
Step 2
cosx=cos2xsin2x
=1sin2xsin2x
=12sin2x

Step 1
cos2x=cos2xsin2x
Lefty Side:
cos(A+B)=cosAcosBsinAsinB
cos2x=cos(x+x)
=cosxcosxsinxsinx
=cos2xsin2x
cos2x=cos2xsin2x
cos2x=cos(x+x)
=cosxcosxsinxsinx
=cos2xsin2x
(using pythagorian identity) cos2x=1sin2x
=1sin2xsin2x
=12sin2x
