 Consider LHS 
we can writ it as:
cos(5A) = cos(2A+3A) 
= cos(2A)cos(3A) - sin(2A)sin(3A)1 
we realize that Sin 3A= 3 sin(A)cos²(A) − sin³(A) 
Sin 2A= 2sinAcosA 
Cos 3A=cos³(A) − 3 sin²(A)cos(A) 
Cos 2A=cos²A−sin²A 
Sub in eq.1 
Cos 5A=.cos⁵A − 3sin²Acos³A − sin²Acos³A + 3sin⁴AcosA − 6sin²Acos³A + 2sin⁴AcosA 
= 5sin⁴AcosA − 10sin²Acos³A + cos⁵A 
= 5(1−cos²A)²cosA − 10(1−cos²A)cos³A + cos⁵A 
= 5cosA(cos⁴A−2cos²A+1) − 10cos³A(1−cos²A) + cos⁵A 
= 5cos⁵A − 10cos³A + 5cosA − 10cos³A + 10cos⁵A + cos⁵A 
= 16cos⁵A − 20cos³A + 5cosA 
=RHS
