Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be such that $\pi<\alpha-\beta<3\pi$, and $cos\alpha+cos\beta=-27/65$ and $sin\alpha+sin\beta= -21/65$, find $cos(\alpha-\beta)/2$
I solved it by squaring the two equations such that I get $sin^2\alpha+sin^2beta+2sin\alpha sin\beta=441/4225$ And $cos^2\alpha+cos^\beta+2cos\alpha cos\beta=729/4225$
Adding them we get $2+2(sin\alpha sin\beta + cos\alpha cos\beta)= 1170/4225$
Then, $1+cos(\alpha-\beta)=585/4225$
Therefore $cos(\alpha-\beta)=-3640/4225$
So now $cos(\alpha-\beta)/2=+or-\sqrt\frac{585}{8450}$
This is my answer. But the answer is -$\frac{3}{\sqrt130}$. What went wrong in my solving?
$$\sqrt{\frac{585}{8450}} = \sqrt{\frac{65 \times 9}{8450}} = 3\sqrt{\frac{65 }{8450}} = 3\sqrt{\frac{1}{130}}$$ also your minus comes from $\alpha-\beta \in [\pi,3\pi]$
