These formulas can be derived using x + y formulas
For sin 2x
sin 2x = sin (x + x)
Using sin (x + y) = sin x cos y + cos x sin y
= sin x cos x + sin x cos x
= 2 sin x cos x
For cos 2x
cos 2x = cos (x + x)
Using cos (x + y) = cos x cos y – sin x sin y
= cos x cos x – sin x sin x
= cos 2 x – sin 2 x
Putting cos 2 x = 1 – sin 2 x
cos 2x = cos 2 x – sin 2 x
= 1 – sin 2 x – sin 2 x
= 1 – 2sin 2 x
Putting sin 2 x = 1 – cos 2 x
cos 2x = cos 2 x – sin 2 x
= cos 2 x – (1 – cos 2 x)
= cos 2 x – 1 + cos 2 x
= 2cos 2 x – 1
