Replace with Pythagorean identity: We start with the left side of the equation: cos2x−sin2x. We know from the Pythagorean identity that cos2x+sin2x=1. Therefore, we can replace cos2x with 1−sin2x in our original equation.
Combine like terms: Now we have (1−sin2x)−sin2x. We simplify this by combining like terms. This results in 1−2sin2x.
Complete the proof: We have now shown that cos2x−sin2x simplifies to 1−2sin2x. This completes the proof of the identity.
