Explanation:


\cos(a) + 2 \cos(a + 240)


\cos(a) + 2 \cos(a) \cos(240) - \sin(a) \sin(240)


\cos(a) + 2( - ( \cos(a) )/(2) + ( √(3) )/(2) \sin(a) )


\cos(a) - \cos(a) + √(3) \sin(a)


√(3) \sin(a)

If you graph the new identity, and the og identiy, they will be conciding graphs, so they are the same identity.
