The identity in question is

cos(a - b) = cos(a) cos(b) + sin(a) sin(b)

so that

cos(a - b) = 12/37 cos(a) + 3/5 sin(b)

Since both a and b lie in the first quadrant, both cos(a) and sin(b) will be positive. Then it follows from the Pythagorean identity,

cos²(x) + sin²(x) = 1,

that

cos(a) = √(1 - sin²(a)) = 4/5

and

sin(b) = √(1 - cos²(b)) = 35/37

So,

cos(a - b) = 12/37 • 4/5 + 3/5 • 35/37 = 153/185

(2n^4 - 8 - 3n) - (4n^2 + 7n +4) <br> I have to simplify but don't know how to
Ahat [919]
First remove the parenthes  as there is a negtive outside the second parentheses the signs of the terms inside change.

= 2n^4 - 8 - 3n - 4n^2 - 7n - 4

Now simplify like terms

= 2n^4 - 4n^2 - 10n - 12

= 2(n^4 - 2n^2 - 5n - 6)
