$$\mathrm{let}\:\frac{\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{2}}=\mathrm{u}\:\mathrm{and}\:\frac{\mathrm{a}−\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{2}}=\mathrm{v}\:\Rightarrow\begin{cases}{\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}=\mathrm{2u}}\\{\mathrm{a}−\mathrm{b}=\mathrm{2v}\:\Rightarrow}\end{cases} \\ $$$$\begin{cases}{\mathrm{a}=\mathrm{u}+\mathrm{v}}\\{\mathrm{b}=\mathrm{u}−\mathrm{v}\:\:\Rightarrow\mathrm{coaa}\:+\mathrm{cosb}=\mathrm{cos}\left(\mathrm{u}+\mathrm{v}\right)+\mathrm{cos}\left(\mathrm{u}−\mathrm{v}\right)}\end{cases} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{cosu}\:\mathrm{cosv}−\mathrm{sinu}\:\mathrm{sinv}+\mathrm{cosu}\:\mathrm{cosv}\:+\mathrm{sinu}\:\mathrm{sinv} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{2cosu}\:\mathrm{cosv}\:=\mathrm{2cos}\left(\frac{\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)\mathrm{cos}\left(\frac{\mathrm{a}−\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{equality}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{proved} \\ $$ | ||

$$\theta=\frac{\theta+\varphi}{\mathrm{2}}+\frac{\theta−\varphi}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\varphi=\frac{\theta+\varphi}{\mathrm{2}}−\frac{\theta−\varphi}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{cos}\:\theta=\mathrm{cos}\:\left(\frac{\theta+\varphi}{\mathrm{2}}+\frac{\theta−\varphi}{\mathrm{2}}\right)=\mathrm{cos}\:\frac{\theta+\varphi}{\mathrm{2}}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\frac{\theta−\varphi}{\mathrm{2}}−\mathrm{sin}\:\frac{\theta+\varphi}{\mathrm{2}}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\frac{\theta−\varphi}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{cos}\:\varphi=\mathrm{cos}\:\left(\frac{\theta+\varphi}{\mathrm{2}}−\frac{\theta−\varphi}{\mathrm{2}}\right)=\mathrm{cos}\:\frac{\theta+\varphi}{\mathrm{2}}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\frac{\theta−\varphi}{\mathrm{2}}+\mathrm{sin}\:\frac{\theta+\varphi}{\mathrm{2}}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\frac{\theta−\varphi}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{cos}\:\theta+\mathrm{cos}\:\varphi=\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\frac{\theta+\varphi}{\mathrm{2}}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\frac{\theta−\varphi}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$ | ||
