1. We start with \[ \frac{\sin 2x}{2 \cos^2 x}. \] Using the double-angle formula \(\sin 2x = 2 \sin x \cos x\), we have \[ \frac{2 \sin x \cos x}{2 \cos^2 x} = \frac{\sin x}{\cos x} = \tan x. \] 2. Consider \[ \frac{\cos 2\theta}{\sin\theta + \cos\theta}. \] Recall the identity \(\cos 2\theta = \cos^2 \theta - \sin^2 \theta\), which can be factored as \[ \cos^2 \theta - \sin^2 \theta = (\cos \theta - \sin \theta)(\cos \theta + \sin \theta). \] Thus, \[ \frac{(\cos \theta - \sin \theta)(\cos \theta + \sin \theta)}{\sin \theta + \cos \theta} = \cos \theta - \sin \theta. \] 3. Next, simplify \[ \frac{1-\cos 2A}{1-\cos^2 A}. \] Using the identity \(\cos 2A = 1 - 2\sin^2 A\), we find \[ 1-\cos 2A = 1 - (1-2\sin^2 A) = 2\sin^2 A. \] Also, note that \[ 1-\cos^2 A = \sin^2 A. \] Therefore, \[ \frac{2\sin^2 A}{\sin^2 A} = 2. \] 4. Now simplify \[ \frac{(\cos\alpha - \sin\alpha)^2}{\sin2\alpha - 1}. \] Expand the numerator: \[ (\cos\alpha - \sin\alpha)^2 = \cos^2 \alpha - 2\sin\alpha\cos\alpha + \sin^2 \alpha. \] Since \(\cos^2 \alpha + \sin^2 \alpha = 1\) and \(2\sin\alpha\cos\alpha = \sin2\alpha\), we obtain \[ (\cos\alpha - \sin\alpha)^2 = 1 - \sin2\alpha. \] Thus, \[ \frac{1-\sin2\alpha}{\sin2\alpha-1} = -1. \] 5. Finally, consider \[ \frac{\cos2x}{\cos^4 x-\sin^4 x}. \] Factor the denominator as a difference of squares: \[ \cos^4 x - \sin^4 x = (\cos^2 x - \sin^2 x)(\cos^2 x + \sin^2 x). \] Since \(\cos^2 x + \sin^2 x = 1\), it simplifies to \[ \cos^4 x - \sin^4 x = \cos^2 x - \sin^2 x. \] Recognize that \(\cos2x = \cos^2 x - \sin^2 x\). Thus, \[ \frac{\cos2x}{\cos2x} = 1. \]

To spice things up a bit, let me sprinkle in some additional context about trigonometric simplifications! For \( \frac{\sin 2 x}{2 \cos ^{2} x} \), using the double angle identity for sine gives us \( \frac{2\sin x \cos x}{2 \cos^{2} x} \), simplifying to \( \tan x \) because \( \sin x \) is cancelled by one cosine. Now for \( \frac{\cos 2 \theta}{\sin \theta+\cos \theta} \), we can express \( \cos 2\theta \) as \( \cos^2\theta - \sin^2\theta \). This leads to \( \frac{\cos^2\theta - \sin^2\theta}{\sin \theta + \cos \theta} \), which might look complex but can be simplified with further factorization or substitution based on given values! And when it comes to actual uses in life, trigonometric identities help in physics for modeling wave patterns, in engineering for stresses and forces, not to mention their systemic applications in computer graphics! Simplifying trigonometric expressions can not only unlock solutions in math problems but can pave the way for real-world applications! So buckle up as you delve into these identities; they have not only historical significance but also a plethora of practical uses! Have fun simplifying!
