    4 lines is all it took,
    LHS=2 cos2X.cosX + 2 cos4XcosX
    =2cosX(cos2X+cos4X)
    =2cosX(2cos3XcosX)
    =4cos3Xcos^2 X
    =RHS

    Thank you for the interesting question, this is how I approached it after doing a quick ponder on the left side I thought it would be long and decided to start on the right. You can turn the cos^2(x) into a 1-sin^2(x). Then turn the sin^2(x) into (1-cos(2x))/2. Then simplify the 1-(1-cos(2x))/2 into 1/2+cos(2x)/2. Multiply by 4 to give you 2+2cos(2x). Then multiply by cos(3x) to get you 2cos(3x)+2cos(2x)cos(3x). using the formula for cos(a+b) and cos(a-b) we can say that cos(a+b)+cos(a-b)=2cos(a)cos(b) we can apply this to our 2cos(2x)cos(3x) to make it a cos(3x-2x) + cos(3x+2x) which is cos(x)+cos(5x). Therefore our overall term is 2cos(3x)+cos(x)+cos(5x) which equals the left hand side. If any mistakes, please say and sorry for the horrendous looking format.

    15 mins for a question is crazy

    I got another solution
    Cosx + cos5x+ 2cos3x
    =2cos((5x+x)/2)cos((5x-x)/2)+ 2cos3x
    =2cos 3x cos2x+ 2cos3x
    =2cos3x(cos2x+1)
    =2cos3x((2(cosx)^2)-1+1)
    =4cosx^2.cos3x

      This is far quicker but unfortunately not in the A-Level specification anymore

      But sir as we already got the solution,and there's no mistake in this so what's the need to worry about specifications?

    FYI take cosx +xos3x +cos3x+cos5x and solve it’ll be much easier
