= cos2A + cos2B – cos2C
= cos2A – sin2B + cos2C + 1
= cos(A + B) cos(A – B) + cos2C + 1
= cos(180° – C) cos(A – B) + cos2C + 1
= –cosC cos(A – B) + cos2C + 1
= 1 – cosC [cos(A – B) – cosC]
= 1 – cosC [cos(A – B) – cos(180° – (A + B))]
= 1 – cosC [cos(A – B) + cos(A + B)]
= 1 – cosC [2 cosA cosB]
= 1 – 2 cosA cosB cosC
