![### Transcription and Explanation
#### Problem Statement
Consider the following identity:
\[
\frac{\cos(a + b)}{\cos(a) \cos(b)} = 1 - \tan(a) \tan(b)
\]
Prove the identity.
---
#### Proof Structure
1. **Expression Setup**
\[
\frac{\cos(a + b)}{\cos(a) \cos(b)} = \frac{\cos(a) \cos(b) - \boxed{\cos(a)\cos(b)}}{\cos(a) \cos(b)}
\]
- A box is drawn around the term \(\cos(a)\cos(b)\) to likely indicate the part to be expanded or subtracted.
2. **Simplification**
\[
= \frac{\cos(a) \cos(b)}{\cos(a) \cos(b)} - \boxed{\cdots}
\]
3. **Further Simplification**
\[
= 1 - \left(\frac{\sin(a)}{\cos(a)}\right) \cdot \left( \boxed{\cdots} \right)
\]
4. **Final Result**
\[
= \boxed{\cdots}
\]
---
The proof involves expressing \(\cos(a + b)\) using trigonometric identities and simplifying it by subtracting terms and expanding using tangent and sine functions. The missing expressions, indicated by boxes, need to be filled with appropriate trigonometric simplifications to complete the proof.
This step-by-step decomposition highlights the key parts of the identity proof without revealing the detailed intermediate steps that should follow from trigonometric identities.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F8e308213-df48-4360-8e9d-bfd0a573e9aa%2Fadf34214-8029-43b4-92e1-7510c45b7768%2F93d7zb_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
