Trigonometry is one of the funny subcategories of mathematics.it is very useful in engineering and scientific research. Some people think it is very easy and some people think that is a tough subject. The toughness of Trigonometry depends that what is your basics knowledge of trigonometry. Now here we look for a very important formula of trigonometry and its relation with other trigonometrical identities.

Derivation of Cos2x Formula?

As we know that 

Cos(A+B) = CosA CosB - SinA SinB -----(1)

 if A = B = x

Then from equation (1)

Cos(x+x) = Cosx.Cosx - Sinx Sinx

Cos2x = Cos²x – Sin²x --------(2)

it is one of the best results of Cos2x with Sinx. Let's say equation (2)

The relation between Co2x and Sinx only

As We know that 

Sin²x +Cos²x = 1

Cos²x = 1 - Sin²x

On putting the value of Cos²x in equation (1)

Cos2x = 1 - Sin²x  - Sin²x

Cos2x = 1 - 2 Sin²x

After Rearranging 

2 Sin²x =  1 - Cos2x 

it is another relation of Cos2x with Sinx

Relation of Co2x With Cosx

Sin²x +Cos²x = 1

Sin²x = 1 - Cos²x  

On putting this value in equation (1)

Cos2x = Cos²x  - (1 - Cos²x )

Cos2x  = 2Cos²x  - 1 

On Rearranging

2Cos²x  = Cos2x + 1

it is proved.Cos2x formula is also lnown as double angle formula.
