Solution

\[LHS = \sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2 + 2\cos4x}}\]

\[ = \sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2\left( 1 + \cos4x \right)}} \]

\[ = \sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2 \times 2 \cos^2 2x}} \left( \because 2 \cos^2 2x = 1 + \cos4x \right)\]

\[ = \sqrt{2 + 2\cos2x}\]

\[= \sqrt{2\left( 1 + \cos2x \right)}\]

\[ = \sqrt{2 . 2 \cos^2 x} \left        ( \because 2 \cos^2 x = 1 + \cos2x \right)\]

\[ = 2\text{ cos } x = RHS\]

\[\text{ Hence proved } .\]
