Question

cos A + cos B - cos C =
4 cos (A/2). cos (B/2). sin (C/2) - 1​

Answer 1

Answer:cosa+cosb−cosc=4cos(a/2)cos(b/2)sin(c/2)−1  

Here, we make an assumption that  a+b+c=π  

i.e, the sum of the angles a, b and c is 180°

L.H.S=(cosa+cosb)−cosc  

=2cosa+b2cosa−b2−cosc  

=2cos(π−c2)cos(a−b2)−cosc  

=2cos(π2−c2)cos(a−b2)−cosc  

=2sinc2cos(a−b2)−(1−2sin2c2)  

=2sinc2(cosa−b2+sinc2)−1  

=2sinc2(cosa−b2+sinπ−(a+b)2)−1  

=2sinc2(cosa−b2+sin[π2−(a+b)2])−1  

=2sinc2(cosa−b2+cos[(a+b)2])−1  

=2sinc2(cos2a4+cos[(−2b)4])−1  

=2sinc2(cosa2cos[−b2])−1  

=4cos(a2)(cosb2)sin(c2)−1  

=R.H.S  

Happy math!
