Recognize that the given expression is of the form \(\cos(\alpha + \beta) \cos \beta + \sin(\alpha + \beta) \sin \beta\), which resembles the cosine addition formula but with a plus sign between the terms.
Recall the cosine difference identity: \(\cos(A - B) = \cos A \cos B + \sin A \sin B\). Notice that the given expression matches this pattern with \(A = \alpha + \beta\) and \(B = \beta\).
Apply the identity by substituting \(A\) and \(B\) into the formula: \(\cos((\alpha + \beta) - \beta) = \cos(\alpha + \beta) \cos \beta + \sin(\alpha + \beta) \sin \beta\).
Simplify the argument inside the cosine function: \((\alpha + \beta) - \beta = \alpha\).
Write the simplified expression as \(\cos \alpha\), which is a single-term expression.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Angle Addition Formulas

The angle addition formulas express trigonometric functions of sums of angles in terms of functions of individual angles. For cosine, cos(α + β) = cos α cos β - sin α sin β, and for sine, sin(α + β) = sin α cos β + cos α sin β. These formulas are essential for rewriting and simplifying expressions involving sums of angles.
