Solution

given, $c o s^{2} α + c o s^{2} (α + β) - 2 c o s α c o s β c o s (α + β)$

$= c o s^{2} α + c o s (α + β) (c o s (α + β) - 2 c o s α c o s β)$

$= c o s^{2} α - c o s (α + β) (2 c o s α c o s β - c o s α c o s β + s i n α s i n β)$

$= c o s^{2} α - c o s (α + β) (c o s α c o s β + s i n α s i n β)$

$= c o s^{2} α - (c o s α c o s β - s i n α s i n β) (c o s α c o s β + s i n α s i n β)$

$= c o s^{2} α - (c o s^{2} α c o s^{2} β - s i n^{2} α s i n^{2} β)$

$= c o s^{2} α - c o s^{2} α c o s^{2} β + s i n^{2} α s i n^{2} β$

$= c o s^{2} α (1 - c o s^{2} β) + s i n^{2} α s i n^{2} β$

$= c o s^{2} α s i n^{2} β + s i n^{2} α s i n^{2} β$

$= s i n^{2} β (c o s^{2} α + s i n^{2} α)$

$= s i n^{2} β$

Hence Proved

{cos}^{2} α + {cos}^{2} (α + β) - 2 cos α cos β cos (α + β) = {sin}^{2} β

\frac{sin 2 α + sin 2 β}{cos 2 α - cos β} = cot (β - α)

\frac{sin 2 α + sin 2 β}{cos 2 α - cos 2 β} = cot (β - α)

cos 2 α = 2 {sin}^{2} β + 4 cos (α + β) sin α sin β + cos 2 (α + β)

cos 2 α cos 2 β + {sin}^{2} (α - β) - {sin}^{2} (α + β) = cos 2 (α + β)
