cos x+cos y = (3/2)+cos xcos y−sin xsin y cos x+cos y−cos xcos y+sin xsin y=(3/2) recall → { ((cos x=((1−tan^2 ((x/2)))/(1+tan^2 ((x/2)))))),((sin x=((2tan ((x/2)))/(1+tan^2 ((x/2)))))) :} set tan ((x/2))= p & tan ((y/2))= q ⇔ ((1−p^2 )/(1+p^2 ))+((1−q^2 )/(1+q^2 ))−(((1−p^2 )/(1+p^2 )))(((1−q^2 )/(1+q^2 )))+((4pq)/((1+p^2 )(1+q^2 )))=(3/2) 9p^2 q^2 −8pq +p^2 +q^2 +1 = 0 (3pq−1)^2 + (p−q)^2 = 0 → { ((p= q)),((p=± (1/(√3)))) :} case(1) { ((p=(1/(√3))⇒tan ((x/2))=tan ((π/6)))),((q=(1/(√3))⇒tan ((y/2))=tan ((π/6)))) :} → { ((x=(π/3))),((y=(π/3))) :} ⇒((π/3),(π/3)) case(2) → { ((p=−(1/(√3))⇒tan ((x/2))=tan (−(π/6)))),((q=−(1/(√3))⇒tan ((y/2))=tan (−(π/6)))) :} → { ((x=((5π)/3))),((y=((5π)/3))) :} ⇒ (((5π)/3), ((5π)/3))
