1.2 Consider the following unit circle sketched below. By the definition of
trigonometric functions, the points P and Q on the terminal sides of
angles α and β are labelled as shown in figure below.

cos α − 2 cos α cos β + cos β

= 2 2

🗸🗸 expansion
+ sin 2 α − 2sin α sin β + sin 2 β
= cos 2 α + sin 2 α − 2 cos α cos β − 2sin α sin β 🗸🗸🗸🗸 use of

1.3 Consider ∆POQ in the sketched above. Now place angle α − β in standard
position and label the point B on the unit circle corresponding to the
terminal side of angle (α − β ) , as shown in the figure below:

1.4 (4)
In ∆POQ ≡ ∆BOA
Statement Reason
OP = OB both radii = 1 🗸🗸 S/ R
OQ = OA both radii = 1 🗸🗸 S/ R
ˆ = BOA
POQ ˆ both = α − β 🗸🗸 S/ R
∴∆POQ ≡ ∆BOA SAS 🗸🗸 conclusion

−2 cos (α − β ) =
−2 ( cos α cos β + sin α sin β )
∴ cos (α=
