Question
Prove that:
$\cos(\text{A+B+C})+\cos(\text{A}-\text{B+C})+\cos(\text{A+B}-\text{C})\\+\cos(-\text{A+B+C})=4\cos\text{A}\cos\text{B}\cos\text{C}$

Answer

We have,
$\text{LHS}=\cos(\text{A+B+C})+\cos(\text{A}-\text{B}+\text{C})\\ \ \ \ \ +\cos(\text{A+B}-\text{C})+\cos(-\text{A+B+C})$
$=\ [\cos(\text{A+B+C})+\cos(\text{A}-\text{B+C})]\\ \ \ \ \ +[\cos(\text{A+B}-\text{C})+\cos(-\text{A+B+C})$
$=\ 2\cos\Big\{\frac{\text{A+B+C+A}-\text{B}+\text{C}}{2}\Big\}\cos\Big\{\frac{\text{A+B+C}-\text{A+B}-\text{C}}{2}\Big\}\\ \ \ \ +2\begin{Bmatrix}\cos\Big\{\frac{\text{A+B}-\text{C}-\text{A+B+C}}{2}\Big\} \\\cos\Big\{\frac{\text{A+B}-\text{C}+\text{A}-\text{B}-\text{C}}{2}\Big\} \end{Bmatrix}$
$=\ 2\cos\Big(\frac{2\text{A}+2\text{C}}{2}\Big)\cos\Big(\frac{2\text{B}}{2}\Big)+2\cos\Big(\frac{2\text{B}}{2}\Big)\cos\Big\{\frac{2\text{A}-2\text{C}}{2}\Big\}$
$=\ 2\cos(\text{A+B})\cos(\text{B})+2\cos(\text{B})\cos(\text{A}-\text{C})$
$=\ 2\cos(\text{B})[\cos(\text{A+C})+\cos(\text{A}-\text{C})]$
$=\ 2\cos\text{B}\Big[2\cos\Big(\frac{\text{A+C+A}-\text{C}}{2}\Big)\cos\Big(\frac{\text{A+C}-\text{A+C}}{2}\Big)\Big]$
$=\ 2\cos(\text{B})[2\cos\text{A}\cos\text{C}]$
$=\ 4\cos\text{A}\cos\text{B}\cos{C}.$
$=\ \text{RHS}$
