Proving $\cos^5(a)=\cos(a)-2\sin^2(a)\cos(a)$, using only Pythagorean identities

73 Views Asked by At

I came across a problem which said prove using only Pythagorean Identities and I got stumped. Some Insight would be helpful.

$$\cos^5(a)=\cos(a)-2\sin^2(a)\cos(a)$$

What I first did was factor the right side and used the main pythagorean identity to try and simplify but I don't really think it got me anywhere. My final step somehow got me to;

$$\cos^2(a)-\sin^2(a)=\cos^4(a)$$

Where do I go from there or what could I have done differently in the start?
