Prove that cos4(θ)sin4(θ)=cos(2θ)
So, here are my steps so far:
(cos2θ)2(sin2θ)2=cos(2θ)
(cos2θ+sin2θ)(cos2θsin2θ)=cos(2θ)
(cos2θ+sin2θ)(cosθ+sinθ)(cosθsinθ)=cos(2θ)

Well, cos2(θ)+sin2(θ)=1, and cos(2θ)=cos2(θ)sin2(θ) is a standard Double-Angle identity.

We have
cos4(θ)sin4(θ)=(cos2θ+sin2θ)(cos2θsin2θ)
where (cos2θ+sin2θ)=1 and (cos2θsin2θ)=2cos2(θ)1=cos(2θ)
