Answer:

double-angle identity for cosine difference

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The Cosine of a Double Angle Formula is equal to

[tex]cos(2A)=2cos^2(A) -1[/tex]

Let

[tex]A=40^o[/tex]

substitute

[tex]cos(2(40^o))=2cos^2(40^o) -1[/tex]

[tex]cos(80^o)=2cos^2(40^o) -1[/tex]

therefore

Yusuf used the double-angle identity for cosine difference
