Answer

The result agrees with the fact that $\cos{0} = 1$

Work Step by Step

Addition formula $$\cos{(A+B)}= \cos{A} \cos{B}-\sin{A}\sin{B}$$ $\cos{(A-A)}= \cos{A} \cos{(-A)} - \sin{A} \sin{(-A)}$ $\cos{(A-A)}= \cos{A} \cos{A} - \sin{A} (-\sin{A})$ $\cos{(A-A)}= \cos^2{A}+ \sin^2{A} = 1$ The result agrees with the fact that $\cos{0} = 1$
