Open Question: Verify the identity: cos^2x-sin^2x=1-2sin^2x, what are the steps?

Open Question: Verify the identity: cos^2x-sin^2x=1-2sin^2x, what are the steps?

Pythagorean Identity
sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1
or
cos^2(x) = 1 - sin^2(x)

substitute it into the left hand side

1 - sin^2(x) - sin^2(x) = 1 - 2sin^2(x)

Now LHS = RHS
