226. (i) Prove that cos (α + β) )= cos α cos β – sin α sin β.
(ii)  Prove that cos (α – p) = cos α cos β + sin α sin β.


 (i) Draw a circle with centre at O and radius = 1.
Let P, Q be two points on the circle such that
∠POX = α and ∠QQX = β.
∴  ∠POQ = α + β
Co-ordinates of P, Q are (cos α, sin α) and (cos β, – sin β) respectively.
(ii)  Draw a circle with centre at O and radius = 1.
Let P, Q be two points on the circle such that
∠POX = α, ∠QOX = β
∴ ∠POQ = α – β
Co-ordinates of P, Q are (cos α, sin α) and (cos β, sin β) respectively.

therefore space space space space space space OP with rightwards arrow on top space equals space left parenthesis cos space straight alpha right parenthesis space straight i with hat on top space plus space left parenthesis sin space straight alpha right parenthesis space straight j with hat on top
and space space space space OQ with rightwards arrow on top space equals space left parenthesis cos space straight beta right parenthesis straight i with hat on top space plus space left parenthesis sin space straight beta right parenthesis space straight j with hat on top
Now space angle POQ space equals straight alpha minus straight beta
rightwards double arrow space space space space cos space left parenthesis straight alpha minus straight beta right parenthesis space equals space fraction numerator OP with rightwards arrow on top. space OQ with rightwards arrow on top over denominator open vertical bar OP with rightwards arrow on top close vertical bar space open vertical bar OQ with rightwards arrow on top close vertical bar end fraction space equals fraction numerator cos space straight alpha space cos space straight beta space plus space sin space straight alpha space sin space straight beta over denominator left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis thin space left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis end fraction
therefore space space space cos space left parenthesis straight alpha minus straight beta right parenthesis space equals space cos space straight alpha space cos space straight beta space plus space sin space straight alpha space sin space straight beta
