Step 2.1

Raise $\cos (x)$ to the power of $1$ .

$2 \sin (x) (\cos^{1} (x) \cos (x))$

Step 2.2

Raise $\cos (x)$ to the power of $1$ .

$2 \sin (x) (\cos^{1} (x) \cos^{1} (x))$

Step 2.3

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$2 \sin (x) {\cos (x)}^{1 + 1}$

Step 2.4

Add $1$ and $1$ .

$2 \sin (x) \cos^{2} (x)$
