Help ?!?!?!?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cos 2 θ =2 cos^2 θ−1

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Is this a proof?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk Use an angle sum identity to verify the identity cos 2 theta = 2 cos^2 theta - 1 is all they ask

OpenStudy (abb0t):

It's not an identity. I think that's the answer they are looking for.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o ok so just say no idenity as my answer

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Yeah.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to verify ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so how do i do that

OpenStudy (abb0t):

\[\cos^2(\theta) + 1 = 2 \cos^2(\theta) \] \[1 = \cos^2(\theta)\] NOT An ItNDITY

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cos 2 theta = cos^2 theta - sin^2 theta is the formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@abb0t so should I write that as my answer

OpenStudy (abb0t):

yeah.
