The answer is: " 4 cos² Θ " .
_____________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
_____________________________________________
(cos Θ − cos Θ)² + (cos Θ + cos Θ)²

= 0² + (cos Θ + cos Θ)² ;

= 0 + (2 cos Θ)² = (2 cos Θ)(2 cos Θ) ;

= 4 (cos Θ)² = 4 cos² Θ .

Answer: The required simplified form is
4\cos^2\theta.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to simplify the following trigonometric expression :


T=(\cos \theta-\cos\theta)^2+(\cos \theta+\cos \theta)^2.

To simplify, first we need to evaluate the terms within the brackets.

The simplification is as follows :


T\\\\=(\cos \theta-\cos\theta)^2+(\cos \theta+\cos \theta)^2\\\\=0^2+(2\cos\theta)^2\\\\=0+4\cos^2\theta\\\\=4\cos^2\theta.

Thus, the required simplified form is
4\cos^2\theta.
