How do you verify the identity #cos(A+B)=(1-tanAtanB)/(secAsecB)#? Trigonometry Trigonometric Identities and Equations Sum and Difference Identities 1 Answer Jeanmarie M. Nov 16, 2016 #cosAcosB-sinAsinB=cosAcosB-sinAsinB# Explanation: #cos(A+B)=cosAcosB-sinAsinB# #(1-tanAtanB)/(secAsecB)=(1/secA)(1/secB)-(tanAtanB)/(secAsecB)# #(1/secA)(1/secB)=cosAcosB# #((tanAtanB)/(secAsecB))=((sinA/cosA)(sinB/cosB))/((1/cosA)(1/cosB))=sinAsinB# #cosAcosB-sinAsinB=cosAcosB-sinAsinB# Answer link Related questions What are some sum and difference identities examples?
