Prove that:

Take L.H.S



{2 cos A cos B = cos (A + B) + cos (A – B)}




= 2 cos x {cos 120° + cos 2x}


= 2 cos x {cos (180° - 60°) + cos 2x}


{cos (180° - A) = - cos A}


= 2 cos x (cos 2x - cos 60°)


= 2 cos 2x cos x – 2 cos x cos 60°



= cos 3x + cos x – cos x


= cos 3x = R.H.S.


Hence Proved
