Correct answer: A
Use the given angle ranges
Since 0≤α,β≤4π, we have:
0≤α+β≤2π
−4π≤α−β≤4π
So the relevant sine and cosine values will be taken with positive cosine, and for α−β the cosine is also positive.
Find sin(α+β)
Given
cos(α+β)=54
and α+β∈[0,2π], so
sin(α+β)=1−(54)2=1−2516=53.
Thus,
sin(α+β)=53,cos(α+β)=54.
Find cos(α−β)
Given
sin(α−β)=135.
Since α−β∈[−4π,4π], we have cos(α−β)>0. Therefore,
