Answer:

sinB

Explanation:

Using trigonometric sum/difference rule -

we can expand the expression to

= (sinAcosB + cosAsinB)cosA - (cosAcosB - sinAsinB)sinA

= cosAsinAcosB + cos^2(A)sinB - sinAcosAcosB + sin^2(A)sinB

= cos^2(A)sinB + sin^2(A)sinB

= (cos^2(A) + sin^2(A))sinB, (Pythagorean identity)

= (1 * sinB)

= sinB
