							Ans:Hello student, please find answer to your question
tan\alpha = \sqrt{2}tan\beta
cos2\alpha = \frac{1-tan^{2}\alpha }{1+tan^{2}\alpha }
RHS = cos2\alpha = \frac{1-(\sqrt{2}tan\beta )^{2} }{1+(\sqrt{2}tan\beta )^{2}}
RHS = cos2\alpha = \frac{1-2tan^{2}\beta }{1+2tan^{2}\beta }
LHS = \frac{3cos2\beta -1}{3-cos2\beta }
LHS = \frac{3.\frac{1-tan^{2}\beta }{1+tan^{2}\beta } -1}{3-\frac{1-tan^{2}\beta }{1+tan^{2}\beta } }
LHS = \frac{3-3tan^{2}\beta-1-tan^{2}\beta }{3+3tan^{2}\beta-1+tan^{2}\beta }
LHS = \frac{2-4tan^{2}\beta}{2+4tan^{2}\beta}
LHS = \frac{1-2tan^{2}\beta}{1+2tan^{2}\beta}
Hence, proved
