(sin α cos β - cos α sin β)(sin α cos β + cos α sin β)
(Type the terms of your expression in the same order as they appear in the original expression.)
Use the distributive property to simplify the expression from the previous step.

Answer

Step 1: Use the distributive property (FOIL method) to expand the expression:

  1. (sin α cos β)(sin α cos β) = sin² α cos² β
  2. (sin α cos β)(cos α sin β) = sin α cos α sin β cos β
  3. (-cos α sin β)(sin α cos β) = -sin α cos α sin β cos β
  4. (-cos α sin β)(cos α sin β) = -cos² α sin² β

Step 2: Combine like terms:

  1. sin² α cos² β - cos² α sin² β

This simplifies to:

Answer: cos²(α - β)
