Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

cos (pi/3 + B) = 1/2( cosB - sqrt(3) sinB)

the first item in the list.


Discussion:

The standard double-angle formula for cos is:

cos (A + B) = cosAcosB - sinAsinB

Applying this formula to cos (pi/3 + B ) gives

cos(pi/3 + B) = cos(pi/3)cosB - sin(pi/3)sinB

But cos(pi/3) = cos (180/3) = cos(60) = 1/2 and

sin(pi/3) = sqrt(3)/2


Substituting these values gives

cos (pi/3 + B) = 1/2 cosB - sqrt(3)/2 sinB =

1/2( cosB - sqrt(3) sinB)

which is the first answer.



Regards,

MrB
