Answer

To show the given identity, we will use the sum-to-product trigonometric identities.

Step-by-step solution

2 steps
  1. State the sum-to-product identities.

    The relevant identities are:

    cos⁡X+cos⁡Y=2cos⁡(X+Y2)cos⁡(X−Y2)\cos X + \cos Y = 2 \cos \left(\frac{X+Y}{2}\right) \cos \left(\frac{X-Y}{2}\right) sin⁡X+sin⁡Y=2sin⁡(X+Y2)cos⁡(X−Y2)\sin X + \sin Y = 2 \sin \left(\frac{X+Y}{2}\right) \cos \left(\frac{X-Y}{2}\right)
  2. Apply the identity to the numerator.

    For the numerator, let X=6BX = 6B and $Y =
