![not true! for x=30°: cos (30−60)+cos (30−30) =cos 30+1 =((√3)/2)+1 but sin 30=(1/2) ⇒LHS≠RHS](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q68450.png)
$${not}\:{true}! \\ $$$${for}\:{x}=\mathrm{30}°: \\ $$$$\mathrm{cos}\:\left(\mathrm{30}−\mathrm{60}\right)+\mathrm{cos}\:\left(\mathrm{30}−\mathrm{30}\right) \\ $$$$=\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{30}+\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$=\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}{\mathrm{2}}+\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${but}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{30}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{LHS}\neq{RHS} \\ $$
