The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to evaluate the expression: \[ \cos(30^\circ + x) \cos(30^\circ - x) - \sin(30^\circ + x) \sin(30^\circ - x) \] We can use the cosine addition formula, which states that: \[ \cos A \cos B - \sin A \sin B = \cos(A + B) \] ### Step 1: Identify A and B In our case, we can identify: - \( A = 30^\circ + x \) - \( B = 30^\circ - x \) ### Step 2: Calculate A + B Now, we calculate \( A + B \): \[ A + B = (30^\circ + x) + (30^\circ - x) = 30^\circ + x + 30^\circ - x = 60^\circ \] ### Step 3: Apply the Cosine Addition Formula Using the cosine addition formula, we have: \[ \cos(30^\circ + x) \cos(30^\circ - x) - \sin(30^\circ + x) \sin(30^\circ - x) = \cos(60^\circ) \] ### Step 4: Calculate cos(60°) Now, we know that: \[ \cos(60^\circ) = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Final Result Thus, the value of the original expression is: \[ \cos(30^\circ + x) \cos(30^\circ - x) - \sin(30^\circ + x) \sin(30^\circ - x) = \frac{1}{2} \] ---
