To prove:The trigonometric expression cos22α−sin22α=cos4α and check result with the help of graphing utility.

Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given trigonometric expression is cos22α−sin22α=cos4α .
Formula Used:
cos2x−sin2x=cos2x
Proof:
Consider theleft hand side of the equation and simplify it.
cos22α−sin22α=cos2(2α)=cos4α
From the above, it is clear thatone side of the equation can be transformed into other side of the equation.
Check result by using graphing utility.
Start the graphing calculator.
Make sure that the calculator is in the radians mode.
Press Y= ley and enter the data Y1=(cos2*X))∧2−(sin2*X))∧2 then press ENTER key and enter Y2=cos4*X) .
To insert π in window setting, click 2nd∧ .
Adjust the window setting: press WINDOW key.

Press GRAPH .
The above graph appears to coincide, the given equation appears to be an identity.
Hence, the result is true.
