cos(2x) = cos^2(x) - sin^2(x)
1 - [cos^2(x) - sin^2(x)] = 2 sin^2(x)
1 - cos^2(x) + sin^2(x) = 2 sin^2(x)
1 - cos^2(x) = sin^2(x)
1 = sin^2(x) + cos^2(x)

prove that 1-cos2x=2sin^2x
-----
1 - cos(2x) = 2sin^2(x)
---
1 - (cos^2(x) - sin^2(x)) = 2sin^2(x)
---
1-cos^2(x) + sin^2(x) = 2sin^2(x)
----
sin^2(x) + sin^2(x) = 2sin^2(x)
---
2sin^2(x) = 2sin^2(x)
