Let a and ß be first quadrant angles with cos(a)=
√11/7
and sin(B)=
√11/4
Find cos(a+B)

Since both α and β are in the first quadrant, we know each of cos(α), sin(α), cos(β), and sin(β) are positive. So when we invoke the Pythagorean identity,

sin²(x) + cos²(x) = 1

we always take the positive square root when solving for either sin(x) or cos(x).

Given that cos(α) = √11/7 and sin(β) = √11/4, we find

sin(α) = √(1 - cos²(α)) = √38/7

cos(β) = √(1 - sin²(β)) = √5/4

Now, recall the sum identity for cosine,

cos(x + y) = cos(x) cos(y) - sin(x) sin(y)

It follows that

cos(α + β) = √11/7 × √5/4 - √38/7 × √11/4 = (√55 - √418)/28
