Are you sure this is the right identity?
I'm pretty sure you meant
cos2\theta = cos^2\theta - sin^2 \theta
then, on the left hand side;
cos2\theta = cos(\theta + \theta)
cos(\theta + \theta) = cos\theta cos\theta - sin\theta sin\theta
cos\theta cos\theta - sin\theta sin\theta = cos^2\theta - sin^2 \theta
Note, you make use of the identity
cos(A + B) = cosA cosB - sinA sinB

Start your own thread instead of using an old one. You are more apt to get help that way.
