Hint: Start by splitting the given terms and then apply the formula of \[\cos 2\theta \] in the above equation.
We have, \[\cos 4\theta \], we can apply the formula of \[\cos 2\theta = 2{\cos ^2}\theta - 1\],
\[\cos 4\theta = 2{\cos ^2}2\theta - 1\]
Again we will apply the same formula,
We get,
\[\cos 4\theta = 2{\left( {2{{\cos }^2}\theta - 1} \right)^2} - 1\]
\[\cos 4\theta = 8{\cos ^4}\theta - 8{\cos ^2}\theta + 1\]
Note: In these questions, the first step should be to split the given terms such that a formula can be applied to solve the question
