Question
Derive/Prove:  
\[
\sin 2x = 2 \sin x \cos x
\]

- Useful Formula:
  \[
  \cos 2x = \cos^2 x - \sin^2 x
  \]
  a. 
  \[
  = 2 \cos^2 x - 1
  \]
  \[
  = 1 - 2 \sin^2 x
  \]

  b. 
  \[
  \cos \frac{x}{2} = \pm \sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos x}{2}}
  \]

  c. 
  \[
  \sin \frac{x}{2} = \pm \sqrt{\frac{1 - \cos x}{2}}
  \]
