To prove that \( \tan\left(\frac{\alpha - \beta}{2}\right) = \pm \sqrt{\frac{4 - a^2 - b^2}{a^2 + b^2}} \) given that \( \sin \alpha + \sin \beta = a \) and \( \cos \alpha + \cos \beta = b \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Square Both Sides Start by squaring both equations: \[ (\sin \alpha + \sin \beta)^2 = a^2 \] \[ ...
