I'm really stuck trying to answer this question and have spent endless hours doing so.
If $a=sin(theta)+cos(phi)$ and $b=cos(theta)+sin(phi)$, prove that $cos(theta-phi)=frac2aba^2+b^2$.
I've tried working LHS to RHS and couldn't get, I've also tried RHS to LHS and still couldn't get it, and advice or help would be much appreciated please.
I've also tried going $ab=ldots$ and then trying to get it from there, that didn't come to fruition either.

$$(i).a=sin(theta)+cos(phi)$$
$$(ii).b=cos(theta)+sin(phi)$$
$$(i)^2+(ii)^2=2+2sin(theta +phi)$$so
$$sin(theta+phi) =(a^2+b^2)over 2-1$$.
$$(i)*(ii)=sin(2theta)+sin(2phi) over 2+cos(theta-phi)=sin(theta+phi)cos(theta-phi)+cos(theta-phi)$$
so$$cos(theta-phi)=abover 1+sin(theta+phi)=2abover a^2+b^2$$
