Cos2u=cos^2u-sin^2u cos2x=1-sin^2x Cos2u=2Cos^2U-1
Double Angle Formula
Cos2u=2Cos^2U-1 cos2x=1-sin^2x
cos2u=cos^2u-sin^2u

Example 1
If cos(x)=- and x is in quadrant 2, Find Cos2x and Sin2x. Use the equation: cos2u=2cos^2u-1
Plug in 2(-)^2 Then subtract 1.
Plug in - where cos is except in the front of the equation you just leave that because that's what you're trying to find.
So.. Cos2u=2(-)^2-1
=8/9-1
Cos2u=-1/9
Example 2
Find the exact value of Cos 2x if Sinx= -12/13
Use the formula: cos2x=1-sin^2x
First find the value of -12/13^2 which equals -149/169.
Simplify.
Once you get the fraction you subtract the two top numbers and cos2x will come to an exact value of -119/169.
So: cos2x=1-sin^2x =1-2(-12/13)^2 =1-2(149/169) =169-288/169
cos2x = -119/169
Example 3
Find cos60 deg. By using the functions of 30 deg.
Start with 60=2(30)
Use equation: cos2u=cos^2u-sin^2u
To take out the square of cos use the square root of 3/2.
The sin^2(30) equals ?.
Simplify all the way.
Your solution is ?.
cos2u=cos^2u-sin^2u cos60=cos(2(30))
=cos^2(30)-sin^2(30) =( 3/2)^2-(?)^2 = ?-? =2/4 =?
