see below

Explanation:

cos theta(1-4sin^2 theta)=cos theta cos2 theta-sin theta sin 2 theta

Use the formulas : cos 2 theta=1-2sin^2 theta, sin 2theta=2sinthetacos theta

Right Side : =cos theta cos2 theta-sin theta sin 2 theta

=cos theta (1-2sin^2theta)-sin theta*2sin theta cos theta

=cos theta (1-2sin^2theta-2sin^2theta)

=cos theta(1-4sin^2 theta)
