Expert Answer:
True.
(1 + cosA - sinA)2 = 2(1 + cosA)(1 - cosA)
(1 + 2(cosA - sinA) + (cosA - sinA)2 = 2(1 - cos2A)
(1 + 2(cosA - sinA) + (cos2A - 2sinAcosA + sin2A) = 2sin2A
1 + 2cosA - 2sinA + 1 - 2sinAcosA = 2sin2A
2 + 2cosA - 2sinA - 2sinAcosA = 2sin2A
1 + cosA - sinA - sinAcosA = sin2A
Now if we put A = 45 we find LHS = RHS
Of course, we can put in the given expression directly any acute angle like 45, 60 or 30 and verify.
