Double Angle Formulae With Derivation

The double angle formulae are
\[cos2x=cos^2x-sin^2x\]

\[cos2x=2cos^2x-1\]

\[cos2x=1-2sin^2x\]

\[sin2x=2sinxcosx\]

\[tanx=\frac{2tanx}{1-tan^2x}\]

The first can be dertived from the cpmound angle formula  
\[cos(A+B)=cosAcosB-sinAsinB\]
.
Pute  
\[A=B=x\]
  then we  
\[cos2x=cos^2x-sin^2x\]
.
To get the second and third equations use  
\[1=cos^2x+sin^2x sin^2x=1-cos^2x\]
.
\[cos2x=cos^2x-sin^2x=cos^2x-(1-cos^2x)=2cos^2x-1\]

To obtain the tird use  
\[1=cos^2x+sin^2x cos^2x=1-sin^2x\]
.
\[cos2x=2cos^2x-1=2(1-sin^2x-1)-1=1-2sin^2x\]

To obtain the fourth use the compound angle formual  
\[sin(A+B)=sinAcosB+cosAsinB\]
. Put  
\[A=B=x\]
  to obtain
\[sin2x=sinxcosx+cosxsinx=2sinxcosx\]
.
To obtain thr fifthuse  
\[sin2x=2sinxcosx, \: cos2x=cos^2-sin^2x\]
.
\[tan2x=\frac{sin2x}{cos2x}=\frac{2sinxcosx}{cos^2x-sin^2x}=\frac{2sinxcosx/cos^2x}{(cos^2x-sin^2x)/cos^2x}=\frac{2tanx}{1-tan^2x}\]
