Answer

We need to express cos2x in terms of cos2x, so we rearrange the second double-angle formula to solve for cos2x: cos2x=cos2x+12

Steps

Step 1 :First, recall the double-angle formula for cosine: cos2x=12sin2x or cos2x=2cos2x1.

Step 2 :We need to express cos2x in terms of cos2x, so we rearrange the second double-angle formula to solve for cos2x: cos2x=cos2x+12
