If cos A=45 and cos B=1213,3π2<A,B<2π, find the value of the following

(i) cos(A+b)

(ii) sin(AB)

Solution

Given, cos A=45 and cos B=1213, since A and B both lie in IV quadrant, it follows that sin A and sin B are negative.

sin A=1cos2A=11625=925=35

and sin B=1cos2B=1144169=25169=513

(i)cos(A+B)=cos A cos Bsin A sin B=45×1213(35)(513)=48651565=3365

(ii) cos(AB)=sin A cos Bcos A sin B=35×121345×513=36652065=1665
