prove 2sin^2(2t)+cos(4t)=1

prove

2 sin^{2} (2 t) + cos (4 t) = 1

True

Solution steps

2 sin^{2} (2 t) + cos (4 t) = 1

Manipulating left side

2 sin^{2} (2 t) + cos (4 t)

Rewrite using trig identities

2 sin^{2} (2 t) + cos (4 t)

Use the Double Angle identity:

1 - 2 sin^{2} (x) = cos (2 x)

- 2 sin^{2} (x) = cos (2 x) - 1

= cos (4 t) - (cos (2 \cdot 2 t) - 1)

cos (4 t) - (cos (2 \cdot 2 t) - 1) = 1

cos (4 t) - (cos (2 \cdot 2 t) - 1)

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= cos (4 t) - (cos (4 t) - 1)

- (cos (4 t) - 1) : - cos (4 t) + 1

- (cos (4 t) - 1)

Distribute parentheses

= - (cos (4 t)) - (- 1)

Apply minus-plus rules

- (- a) = a, - (a) = - a

= - cos (4 t) + 1

= cos (4 t) - cos (4 t) + 1

Add similar elements:

cos (4 t) - cos (4 t) = 0

= 1

= 1

= 1

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True
