Step 1 : 

Sum and difference formulas :

   

Step 2 :
The values are and .

Since then and

The angle is lies in first quadrant.

 

The point is lies on the curve of radius

Thus,

Since the point  is lies in first quadrant consider

The value of cosine function is

Step 3 :

Since then and

The angle is lies in fourth quadrant.


The point is lies on the curve of radius Thus,

Since the point  is lies in first quadrant consider
The value of cosine function is

Step 3 :

(a)

The expression is
