Question
prove that:
$\frac{\cos(\text{A+B+C})+\cos(-\text{A+B+C})+\cos(\text{A}-\text{B+C})+\cos(\text{A+B}-\text{C})}{\sin(\text{A+B+C})+\sin(-\text{A+B+C})+\sin(\text{A}-\text{B+C})-\sin(\text{A+B}-\text{C})}=\cot\text{C}$

Answer

We have,
$\text{LHS}=\frac{\cos(\text{A+B+C})+\cos(-\text{A+B+C})+\cos(\text{A}-\text{B+C})+\cos(\text{A+B}-\text{C})}{\sin(\text{A+B+C})+\sin(-\text{A+B+C})+\sin(\text{A}-\text{B+C})-\sin(\text{A+B}-\text{C})}$
$=\ \frac{2\cos\Big\{\frac{\text{A+B+C}-\text{A+B+C}}{2}\Big\}\cos\Big\{\frac{\text{A+B+C+A}-\text{B}-\text{C}}{2}\Big\}\\+2\cos\Big\{\frac{\text{A}-\text{B+C+A+B}-\text{C}}{2}\Big\}\cos\Big\{\frac{\text{A}-\text{B+C}-\text{A}-\text{B+C}}{2}\Big\}}{2\sin\Big\{\frac{\text{A+B+C}-\text{A+B+C}}{2}\Big\}\cos\Big\{\frac{\text{A+B+C+A}-\text{B}-\text{C}}{2}\Big\}\\+2\sin\Big\{\frac{\text{A}-\text{B+C}-\text{A}-\text{B+C}}{2}\Big\}\cos\Big\{\frac{\text{A}-\text{B+C+A+B}-\text{C}}{2}\Big\}}$
$=\ \frac{2\cos(\text{B+C})\cos\text{A}+2\cos\text{A}\cos(\text{C}-\text{B})}{2\sin(\text{B+C})\cos\text{A}+2\sin(\text{C}-\text{B})\cos\text{A}}$
$=\ \frac{2\cos\text{A}[\cos(\text{B+C})+\cos(\text{C}-\text{B})]}{2\cos\text{A}[\sin(\text{B+C})+\sin(\text{C}-\text{B})]}$
$=\ \frac{\cos(\text{B+C})+\cos(\text{C}-\text{B})}{\sin(\text{B+C})+\sin(\text{C}-\text{B})}$
$=\ \frac{2\cos\Big\{\frac{\text{B+C+C}-\text{B}}{2}\Big\}\cos\Big\{\frac{\text{B+C}-\text{C+B}}{2}\Big\}}{2\sin\Big\{\frac{\text{B+C+C}-\text{B}}{2}\Big\}\cos\Big\{\frac{\text{B+C}-\text{C+B}}{2}\Big\}}$
$=\ \frac{2\cos\text{C}\cos\text{B}}{2\sin\text{C}\cos\text{B}}$
$=\ \frac{\cos\text{C}}{\sin\text{C}}$
$=\ \cot\text{C}$
$=\ \text{RHS}$
$\therefore\ \frac{\cos(\text{A+B+C})+\cos(-\text{A+B+C})+\cos(\text{A}-\text{B+C})+\cos(\text{A+B}-\text{C})}{\sin(\text{A+B+C})+\sin(-\text{A+B+C})+\sin(\text{A}-\text{B+C})-\sin(\text{A+B}-\text{C})}=\cot\text{C}.$ Hence proved.
