Cos(2x) = cos^2(x) - sin^2(x) - cos(x)

but sin^2(x) = 1 - cos^2(x)

cos(2x) - cos(x) = cos^2(x) - (1 - cos^2(x) ) - cos(x)

cos(2x) - cos(x) = cos^2(x) - 1 + cos^2(x) - cos(x)

cos(2x) - cos(x) = 2cos^2(x) - 1 - cos(x)

cos(2x) - cos(x) = (2cos(x) + 1)(cos(x) - 1)

I think this is what you have asked for.

1. Find the length of the missing side. Round your answer to the nearest

katovenus [111]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is a right angled triangle we can use Pythagoras theorem to find the missing side x

Using Pythagoras theorem we have

a² = b² + c²

where

a is the hypotenuse

b and c are the other two sides

So we have

${x}^{2} = {12}^{2} + {9}^{2} \\ {x} = \sqrt{ {12}^{2} + {9}^{2} } \\ x = \sqrt{144 + 81} \\ x = \sqrt{225}$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
