Proving that $-frac12[log(1-e^{2ix})+log(1-e^{-2ix})]=-frac12log(2-2cos2x)$
$begingroup$
I was looking at this answer and I was confused to see the equality
$$-frac12left[;logleft(1-e^{2ix}right)+logleft(1-e^{-2ix}right);right]=-frac12log(2-2cos2x)$$
Which I am unable to prove.
I have tried
$$
S=-frac12log(1-e^{2ix})-frac12log(1-e^{-2ix})=-frac12logfrac{1-e^{2ix}}{1-e^{-2ix}}
$$
Then with $u=e^{ix}$:
$$frac{1-u^2}{1-frac1{u^2}}=frac{1-u^2}{1-frac1{u^2}}frac{u^2}{u^2}=-u^2frac{u^2-1}{u^2-1}=-u^2$$
So
$$S=-frac12log(-e^{2ix})=-frac{ipi}2-ix$$
Which I'm fairly certain is wrong. I'm sure there is something realy simple I'm missing here, could I have some help? Thanks.

&=-frac12[log(1-e^{-2ix}-e^{2ix}+1))]\
&=-frac12log(2-2cos2x)
