Prove the trigonometric identity:
cos(2x)+sin^2(x)=1/2 sin(2x)cot(x)

[tex]cos(2x) = cos^2(x) - sin^2(x)[/tex]
[tex]sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x)[/tex]

-----------------------------------------------------

[tex]cos(2x) + sin^2x = cos^2(x) - sin^2(x) + sin^2(x) = cos^2(x)[/tex]

[tex]\frac12 sin(2x)cot(x) = \frac{1}{2} 2sin(x)cos(x)\frac{cos(x)}{sin(x)} = cos^2(x)[/tex]
