Question 292700: I need to verify that the equation is an identity.

I have used an identity to change it to
sin^2x-cos^2x=1-sin2x
then I thought I could try to change it to
sin^2x-cos^2x=1-2sinxcosx
I am not sure if I am on the right track. Thank you.

try expanding the left side using FOIL

then rearrange the terms for clarity
