To prove that \( \cos \theta = \frac{a \cos \varphi + b}{a + b \cos \varphi} \) given that \( \tan \frac{\theta}{2} = \sqrt{\frac{a-b}{a+b}} \tan \frac{\varphi}{2} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Use the half-angle formula for cosine We know that: \[ \cos \theta = \frac{1 - \tan^2 \frac{\theta}{2}}{1 + \tan^2 \frac{\theta}{2}} \] ...
