Explanation:
If we can show that the left side can be expressed in the form of the right side then it is verified.
left side
#=(sinx-cosx)^2=(sinx-cosx)(sinx-cosx)# Expand using FOIL
#=sin^2x-sinxcosx-sinxcosx+cos^2x#
#=sin^2x+cos^2x-2sinxcosx#
#color(orange)"Reminders"#
#color(red)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)(sin^2x+cos^2x=1)color(white)(a/a)|)))#
#color(red)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black) (sin2x=2sinxcosx)color(white)(a/a)|)))#
#rArrsin^2x+cos^2x-2sinxcosx=1-sin2x# now 1 - sin2x is what is on the right side , hence verified.
