Which of the following is a component of the cosine sum formula?

• Tangent of the angle v

• Sine of the angle u

• Cosine of the angle u

• Secant of the angle v

In the cosine sum formula, what operation is performed between the cosine of two angles?

• Addition

• Division

• Multiplication

What is the correct expression for the cosine sum formula?

• cos(u + v) = cos(u) * cos(v) - sin(u) * sin(v)

• cos(u + v) = sin(u) - sin(v) + cos(u) * cos(v)

• cos(u + v) = cos(u) + cos(v) - sin(u) + sin(v)

• cos(u + v) = sin(u) * cos(v) + cos(u) * sin(v)
