Multiple and sub- multiple Angles

Question

If $\cos α + \cos β = 0 = \sin α + \sin β, then \cos 2 α + \cos 2 β$ is equal to

Moderate

A

$- 2 \sin (α + β)$
B

$- 2 \cos (α + β)$
C

$2 \sin (α + β)$
D

$2 \cos (α + β)$

Solution

$\begin{array}{l} (\cos α + \cos β)^{2} - (\sin α + \sin β)^{2} = 0 \\ or (\cos^{2} α + \cos^{2} β + 2 \cos αcos β) - (\sin^{2} α + \sin^{2} β + 2 \sin αsin β) = 0 \end{array}$
$\begin{aligned} or \cos 2 α + \cos 2 β = - 2 (\cos αcos β - \sin αsin β) \\ = - 2 \cos (α + β) \end{aligned}$
