In Exercises 5–8, each expression is the right side of the formula for cos (α - β) with particular values for α and β. b. Write the expression as the cosine of an angle. cos 50° cos 20° + sin 50° sin 20°
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Recognize the trigonometric identity for the cosine of a difference: \( \cos(\alpha - \beta) = \cos \alpha \cos \beta + \sin \alpha \sin \beta \).
Identify the given expression: \( \cos 50^\circ \cos 20^\circ + \sin 50^\circ \sin 20^\circ \).
Compare the given expression with the identity to determine \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \).
Notice that \( \alpha = 50^\circ \) and \( \beta = 20^\circ \).
Write the expression as \( \cos(50^\circ - 20^\circ) \).

Cosine of Angle Difference Formula
The cosine of the difference of two angles, α and β, is given by the formula cos(α - β) = cos(α)cos(β) + sin(α)sin(β). This formula is fundamental in trigonometry as it allows for the simplification of expressions involving the cosine of angle differences into products of cosines and sines.
