cos 2y= 1-tan^2y/1+tan^2y(0 votes)- you rewrite 1-tan^2 y as 1- (sin^2y/cos^2y) and do the same for the 1+tan^2y you will end up with (cos^2y-sin^2y)/(cos^2y + sin^2y) then using the trigonometric identities cos^2y-sin^2y = cos(2y) and cos^2y + sin^2y = 1 you will end up with cos(2y)/1 which is equal to cos2y(1 vote)
