Given;
(1)
Use the identity
(2)
and square both sides to get
(3)
Now substitute (3) into (1) and get
(4) or
(5)
Since
(6)
You have
(7)
Answer: 1
Also given
(8)
Using (6) we get
(9)
Now put (9) into (8) to get
(10) or
(11) and
Since the cosine is an even function we have
(12)
Then (11) reduces to
(13)
