Since

$$\underset{\,\,\,\,^{\textcolor[rgb]{0.66,0.66,0.66}{360^\circ}}}{{cos}}{\left({\mathtt{x}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{y}}\right)} = {\mathtt{cosxcosy}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{sinxsiny}}$$

and 2x=x + x

you have

$$\underset{\,\,\,\,^{\textcolor[rgb]{0.66,0.66,0.66}{360^\circ}}}{{cos}}{\left({\mathtt{2}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{x}}\right)} = {\mathtt{cosxcosx}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{sinxsinx}}$$

that is

cos(2x)=(cosx)^2-(sinx)^2
