How to prove these identities are true?
1) sin ( 2 θ ) = 2 sin ( θ ) cos ( θ )
2) cos ( 2 θ ) = cos 2 θ sin 2 θ = 1 2 sin 2 θ = 2 cos 2 θ 1
3) tan 2 θ = 2 tan θ 1 tan 2 θ

1) sin 2 θ = 2 sin θ cos θ
We have sin ( A + B ) = sin A sin B + cos A sin B
A = B = θ sin 2 θ = sin θ cos θ + cos θ sin θ sin 2 θ = 2 sin θ cos cos θ ( p r o v e d )

2) cos 2 θ = cos 2 θ sin 2 θ cos ( A + B ) = cos A cos B sin A sin B
let A = B = θ cos 2 θ = cos 2 θ sin 2 θ A l s o cos 2 θ = 1 sin 2 θ cos 2 θ = 1 2 sin 2 θ  Proved  . sin 2 θ = 1 cos 2 θ     ( F r o m ( 1 ) ) cos 2 θ = 2 cos 2 θ 1       ( P r o v e d )
3) tan ( A + B ) = tan A + tan B 1 tan A tan B tan θ = 2 tan θ 1 tan 2 θ       P r o v e d
