please help me!!!!!!!!

Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the double angle identity for cosine
cos2x = 2cos²x - 1
Given
cos( [tex]\frac{0}{2}[/tex] ) = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]( p + [tex]\frac{1}{p}[/tex] ) , then
cosΘ = 2[ [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](p + [tex]\frac{1}{p}[/tex] ) ]² - 1
= 2 [ [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex](p² + 2 + [tex]\frac{1}{p^{2} }[/tex] ) ] - 1 ← distribute by 2
= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](p² + 2 + [tex]\frac{1}{p^{2} }[/tex] ) - 1 ← distribute by [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] p² + 1 + [tex]\frac{1}{2p^2}[/tex] - 1
= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] p² + [tex]\frac{1}{2p^2}[/tex] ← factor out [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] from each term
= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ( p² + [tex]\frac{1}{p^{2} }[/tex] ) ← as required
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, please consider the following.
[tex]cos(\theta)=2cos^2(\dfrac{\theta}{2})-1\\\\=2\left(\dfrac{p+\dfrac{1}{p}}{2}\right)^2-1\\\\=\dfrac{p^2+\dfrac{1}{p^2}+2}{2}-1\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}(p^2+\dfrac{1}{p^2})+1-1\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}(p^2+\dfrac{1}{p^2})[/tex]
Thank you
