Verify \(cos \ 90^{\circ} = 1 - 2 \ sin^2 \ 45^{\circ} = 2 \ cos^2 \ 45^{\circ} - 1\)
 
Proof:
 
\(cos \ 90^{\circ} =\) ​
 
\(1 - 2 \ sin^2 \ 45^{\circ} =\) ​
 
\(2 \ cos^2 \ 45^{\circ} - 1 =\) ​
 
Thus, \(cos \ 90^{\circ} = 1 - 2 \ sin^2 \ 45^{\circ} = 2 \ cos^2 \ 45^{\circ} - 1\).
 
Hence, we proved.
