cos4A=8cos^4A-8cos^2A+1

Lil math help:

I understand the double angle formula, but where I'm tripping myself up is at this part:

cos4A=>
cos2x2A=>
2cos^2 2A-1

I understand that cos2A = 2cos^2A-1, but I dont understand how they are hoping from the second part to the third part.

Any help would be appreciated (as well as if someone wants to clean up the above).

    God damnit. 2x2A is just 2A+2A. /sigh.

    Why do I constantly forget simple math when doing this crap? Problem solved.
