OR you might need to sub in the values that are under the box you drew e.g. sin(x) = 1/2, in to the equations in the box.
Hope that helps

If you also look at cos (3x) it can be written as cos(2x + x) and now you can also use the cos(A+B) rule as well.
Harder Questions like these will definitely try to include both sets of identities in one question. Hope this helps !

trust me - i tried multiple ways of doing this, and I am still really stuck. Could you provide further advice on next steps?

As said before me, you will have to use double angle identities.

Hi, If I remember correctly, you might have to use the double angle formula/identities.
OR you might need to sub in the values that are under the box you drew e.g. sin(x) = 1/2, in to the equations in the box.
Hope that helps

Anything else after that? Subbing in the values is for a different question

with alpha=2theta, beta=theta.
If necessary you could do it the "long" way (prove the formula) by expanding
cos(3theta) = cos(2theta + theta) = ...
cos(theta) = cos(2theta - theta) = ...
using the angle sum identities and subtracting, but if youve covered the product to sum/sum to product identities then its just quoting the relevant one.

Going from line 1 to 2 is the product to sum (sum to product) trig identity
