Prove the trigonometric identity manually & by using MATLAB

Prove that:

Acos(ωt)+Acos(ωt+120)+Acos(ωt+240)=0

Taking left hand side and expand the sum using trigonometric identity, we get: =Acos(ωt)+A(12cos(ωt)32sin(ωt))+A(12cos(ωt)+32sin(ωt)) where, cos(α+β)=cos(α)cos(β)+sin(α)sin(β) and cos(120)=12,sin(120)=32 cos(240)=12,sin(240)=32 Simplifying the terms by adding/subtracting the coefficients we get: =Acos(ωt)12Acos(ωt)32Asin(ωt)+12Acos(ωt)+32Asin(ωt) =Acos(ωt)Acos(ωt) =0

MATLAB Command to execute the Problem

The above problem can be solved using "expand" and "cosd"; cosine function in degress, built-in MATLAB commands to get the solution. Assume the variables as A, w (ω) and t.

syms A w t
Sol = expand(A*cosd(w*t) + A*cosd(w*t + 120) + A*cosd(w*t + 240))
Sol =
