sin x + sin 2 x = 1
sin x = 1 sin 2 x
sin x = cos 2 x
Now
cos 8 x + 2 cos 6 x + cos 4 x
= sin 4 x + 2 sin 3 x + sin 2 x
= sin 4 x + sin 3 x + sin 3 x + sin 2 x
= sin 3 x ( sin x + 1 ) + sin 2 x ( sin x + 1 )
( sin x + 1 ) ( sin 3 x + sin 2 x ) = ( sin x + 1 ) ( sin x + 1 ) sin 2 x = ( sin 2 x + sin x ) ( sin 2 x + sin x ) = 1

Even shorter:
You know sin x = cos 2 x. Then
cos 8 x + 2 cos 6 x + cos 4 x = sin 4 x + 2 sin 3 x + sin 2 x = ( sin 2 x + sin x ) 2 = 1 2 = 1
