Question:

In Example 2, change 2x to 3x and then simplify.


Data from Example 2

Simplify the expression cos2 2x − sin2 2x. Since this is the difference of the square of the cosine of an angle and the square of the sine of the same angle, it fits the right side of Eq. (20.22). Therefore, letting α = 2x, we have

cos2 2x − sin2 2x = cos 2(2x) = cos 4x
