∫(cos 2x - cos 2a) / (cos x - cos a) dx 
= ∫((2cos^2 x - 1) - (2cos^2 a - 1)) / (cos x - cos a) dx 
= ∫(2 cos^2 x - 2 cos^2 a) / (cos x - cos a) dx 
= ∫[2(cos x - cos a)(cos x + cos a)] / (cos x - cos a) dx 
= ∫2(cos x + cos a) dx 
= 2 sin x + x cos a + c.

∫(cos 2x - cos 2a) / (cos x - cos a) dx 
= ∫((2cos^2 x - 1) - (2cos^2 a - 1)) / (cos x - cos a) dx 
= ∫(2 cos^2 x - 2 cos^2 a) / (cos x - cos a) dx 
= ∫[2(cos x - cos a)(cos x + cos a)] / (cos x - cos a) dx 
= ∫2(cos x + cos a) dx 
= 2 sin x + 2x cos a + c

= 2 sin x + 2x cos a + c= ∫2(cos x + cos a) dx = ∫[2(cos x - cos a)(cos x + cos a)] / (cos x - cos a) dx = ∫(2 cos^2 x - 2 cos^2 a) / (cos x - cos a) dx ∫((2cos^2 x - 1) - (2cos^2 a - 1)) / (cos x - cos a) dx
