see below

Explanation:

#cos theta(1-4sin^2 theta)=cos theta cos2 theta-sin theta sin 2 theta#

Use the formulas : #cos 2 theta=1-2sin^2 theta, sin 2theta=2sinthetacos theta#

Right Side : #=cos theta cos2 theta-sin theta sin 2 theta#

#=cos theta (1-2sin^2theta)-sin theta*2sin theta cos theta#

#=cos theta (1-2sin^2theta-2sin^2theta)#

#=cos theta(1-4sin^2 theta)#

#:.=# Left Side
