Question: Consider the vectors u = (cos , sin , 0) and v = (cos , sin , 0), where a > . Find the dot

Consider the vectors u = (cos α, sin α, 0) and v = (cos β, sin β, 0), where a > β. Find the dot product of the vectors and use the result to prove the identity

cos(α - β) = cos a cos β + sin α sin β.
