Answer:
cos (A + A) = cos A cos A - sin A sin A
⇒ cos 2A = cos22 A - sin22 A
⇒ cos 2A = cos22 A - (1 - cos22 A), [since we know that sin22 θ = 1 - cos22 θ]
⇒ cos 2A = cos22 A - 1 + cos22 A,
⇒ cos 2A = 2 cos22 A - 1
⇒ cos 2A = 2 (1 - sin22 A) - 1, [since we know that cos22 θ = 1 - sin22 θ]
⇒ cos 2A = 2 - 2 sin22 A - 1
⇒ cos 2A = 1 - 2 sin22 A
