Let unit vectors aA and aB denote the directions of vectors A and B in the xy-plane that make angles α and β, respectively, with the x-axis.

a) Obtain a formula for the expansion of the cosine of the difference of two angles, cos (α − β), by taking the scalar product aA ·aB.


b) Obtain a formula for sin (α − β) by taking the vector product aB × aA.
