Algebra.Com's Answer #383929 by jim_thompson5910(35256)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use the identity cos^2(x) - sin^2(x) = cos(2x) to get\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "cos^2(x) - sin^2(x) = cos(2x)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "cos^2(40) - sin^2(40) = cos(2*40)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "cos^2(40) - sin^2(40) = cos(80)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "If you need more help, email me at jim_thompson5910@hotmail.com\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, please consider visiting my website: http://www.freewebs.com/jimthompson5910/home.html and making a donation.
