\\\cos ^{2} \beta+\cos ^{2}(\alpha+\beta)-2 \cos \alpha \cos \beta \cos (\alpha+\beta)\\=\cos ^{2} \beta+\cos (\alpha+\beta)[\cos (\alpha+\beta)-2 \cos \alpha \cos \beta] \\ =\cos ^{2} \beta+\cos (\alpha+\beta)[\cos \alpha \cos \beta-\sin \alpha \sin \beta-2 \cos \alpha \cos \beta]\\ =\cos ^{2} \beta-\cos (\alpha+\beta)[\cos \alpha \cos \beta+\sin \alpha \sin \beta] \\ =\cos ^{2} \beta-\cos (\alpha+\beta) \cos (\alpha-\beta) \\ =\cos ^{2} \beta-\left[\cos ^{2} \alpha-\sin ^{2} \beta\right]=\cos ^{2} \beta+\sin ^{2} \beta-\cos ^{2} \alpha \\ =1- \cos ^{2} \alpha
