Prove that:`cos^2 2x-cos^2 6x=sin4xsin8x`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, we will use the following formulas, `cosA+cosB = 2cos((A+B)/2)cos((A-B)/2)`
`cosA-cosB = -2sin((A+B)/2)sin((A-B)/2)`
`sin2x = 2sinxcosx`
`L.H.S. = cos^2(2x) - cos^2(6x)`
As, we know, `a^2-b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)`
So, `cos^2(2x) - cos^2(6x) = (cos2x+cos6x)(cos2x-cos6x)`
