If sin α + sin β = a and cos α + cos β = b, show that
(i) $\sin (\alpha+\beta)=\frac{2 a b}{a^{2}+b^{2}}$
(ii) $\cos (\alpha+\beta)=\frac{b^{2}-a^{2}}{b^{2}+a^{2}}$
(i) $a^{2}+b^{2}=(\sin \alpha+\sin \beta)^{2}+(\cos \alpha+\cos \beta)^{2}$
$\Rightarrow a^{2}+b^{2}=\sin ^{2} \alpha+\sin ^{2} \beta+2 \sin \alpha \sin \beta+\cos ^{2} \alpha+\cos ^{2} \beta+2 \cos \alpha \cos \beta$
$\Rightarrow a^{2}+b^{2}=\sin ^{2} \alpha+\cos ^{2} \alpha+\sin ^{2} \beta+\cos ^{2} \beta+2(\sin \alpha \sin \beta+\cos \alpha \cos \beta)$
$\Rightarrow a^{2}+b^{2}=2+2 \cos (\alpha-\beta) \quad \ldots(1)$
Now,
$b^{2}-a^{2}=(\cos \alpha+\cos \beta)^{2}-(\sin \alpha+\sin \beta)^{2}$
$\Rightarrow b^{2}-a^{2}=\cos ^{2} \alpha+\cos ^{2} \beta-\sin ^{2} \alpha-\sin ^{2} \beta+2 \cos \alpha \cos \beta-2 \sin \alpha \sin \beta$
$\Rightarrow b^{2}-a^{2}=\left(\cos ^{2} \alpha-\sin ^{2} \beta\right)+\left(\cos ^{2} \beta-\sin ^{2} \alpha\right)-2 \cos (\alpha+\beta)$
$\Rightarrow b^{2}-a^{2}=2 \cos (\alpha+\beta) \cos (\alpha-\beta)+2 \cos (\alpha-\beta)$
$\Rightarrow b^{2}-a^{2}=\cos (\alpha+\beta)(2+2 \cos (\alpha-\beta)) \ldots(2)$
From (1) and (2), we have
$b^{2}-a^{2}=\cos (\alpha+\beta)\left(a^{2}+b^{2}\right)$
$\Rightarrow \frac{b^{2}-a^{2}}{a^{2}+b^{2}}=\cos (\alpha+\beta)$
$\Rightarrow \sin (\alpha+\beta)=\sqrt{1-\cos ^{2}(\alpha+\beta)}$
$\Rightarrow \sin (\alpha+\beta)=\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{b^{2}-a^{2}}{b^{2}+a^{2}}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{b^{4}+a^{4}-b^{4}-a^{4}+4 a^{2} b^{2}}{\left(b^{2}+a^{2}\right)^{2}}}$
$\Rightarrow \sin (\alpha+\beta)=\frac{2 a b}{a^{2}+b^{2}}$
(ii) $a^{2}+b^{2}=(\sin \alpha+\sin \beta)^{2}+(\cos \alpha+\cos \beta)^{2}$
$=\sin ^{2} \alpha+\sin ^{2} \beta+\cos ^{2} \alpha+\cos ^{2} \beta+2 \sin \alpha \sin \beta+2 \cos \alpha \cos \beta$
$=2+2 \cos (\alpha-\beta)$
$\Rightarrow b^{2}-a^{2}=(\cos \alpha+\cos \beta)^{2}-(\sin \alpha+\sin \beta)^{2}$
$\Rightarrow b^{2}-a^{2}=\cos ^{2} \alpha+\cos ^{2} \beta-\sin ^{2} \alpha-\sin ^{2} \beta+2 \cos \alpha \cos \beta-2 \sin \alpha \sin \beta$
$\Rightarrow b^{2}-a^{2}=\left(\cos ^{2} \alpha-\sin ^{2} \beta\right)+\left(\cos ^{2} \beta-\sin ^{2} \alpha\right)-2 \cos (\alpha+\beta)$
$\Rightarrow b^{2}-a^{2}=2 \cos (\alpha+\beta) \cos (\alpha-\beta)+2 \cos (\alpha-\beta)$
$\Rightarrow b^{2}-a^{2}=\cos (\alpha+\beta)(2+2 \cos (\alpha-\beta))$
$\Rightarrow b^{2}-a^{2}=\cos (\alpha+\beta)\left(a^{2}+b^{2}\right)$
$\frac{b^{2}-a^{2}}{a^{2}+b^{2}}=\cos (\alpha+\beta)$
