Proof

These formulas can be derived from the product-to-sum identities. For example, with a few substitutions, we can derive the sum-to-product identity for sine. 

Let :  \frac{u+v}{2}=\alpha \text { and } \frac{u-v}{2}=\beta

Then,

\begin{aligned} \alpha+\beta &=\frac{u+v}{2}+\frac{u-v}{2} \\ &=\frac{2 u}{2} \\ &=u \\ \alpha-\beta &=\frac{u+v}{2}-\frac{u-v}{2} \\ &=\frac{2 v}{2} \\ &=v \end{aligned}

 

Thus, replacing α and β in the product-to-sum formula with the substitute expressions, we have

\begin{aligned} 2\sin \alpha \cos \beta &=\sin (\alpha+\beta)+\sin (\alpha-\beta) \\ 2\sin \left(\frac{u+v}{2}\right) \cos \left(\frac{u-v}{2}\right) &=\sin u+\sin v, \quad \text { Substitute for }(\alpha+\beta) \text { and }(\alpha-\beta) \end{aligned}

The other sum-to-product identities are derived similarly.
