Show that $\cos(A-B)-\cos(A+B)=2\sin A\sin B.$

Using compound angle and identity for $\cos.$
Anybody have an idea how to solve this question?

Cheers all...

What do you mean by "compound angle and identity for cosine"? Do you know an identity for $\cos(A+B)$? –  Gerry Myerson Mar 19 '13 at 23:53
@Peter, "indentity"? –  Gerry Myerson Mar 20 '13 at 0:08
@Gerry, when editing questions I try not to change the OP's wording, only the Latex. It's a question of should I impose my own vocabulary on the OP. –  Peter Phipps Mar 20 '13 at 0:12
@Peter, you changed --- indeed, improved --- OP's spelling. You replaced some horrible thing with "compound", and you replaced "indenty" with \$indentity". You made several corrections, but you missed one. –  Gerry Myerson Mar 20 '13 at 0:19
@Gerry, I spelt identity wrongly. My apologies. –  Peter Phipps Mar 20 '13 at 0:30

$$\cos(A-B)-\cos(A+B)=\cos A\cos B+\sin A\sin B-(\cos A\cos B-\sin A\sin B)$$

I suspect that you're being asked to use the angle sum/difference formulas for cosine.

Identities for the cosine of sum and difference of two angles: \begin{align} \cos(A-B)&=\cos(A)\cos(B)+\sin(A)\sin(B)\\ \cos(A+B)&=\cos(A)\cos(B)-\sin(A)\sin(B) \end{align} Subtract.
