\\(sin(2x) + sin(2y))^2 + (cos(2x) + cos(2y))^2 = (1/2)^2 + (3/2)^2 \\(sin^2(2x) + cos^2(2x)) + (sin^2(2y) + cos^2(2y)) + 2(sin(2x)sin(2y) + cos(2x)cos(2y)) = 10/4 \\1 + 1 + 2(sin(2x)sin(2y) + cos(2x)cos(2y)) = 10/4 \\sin(2x)sin(2y) + cos(2x)cos(2y) = 1/4 \\\\cos (2x - 2y) = cos(2x)cos(2y) + sin(2x)sin(2y) = 1/4
