High school trigonometry.

Trig identity: 
   cos(a+b) = cos(a)cos(b) - sin(a)sin(b)

Another trig identity, derivable from the first:
   cos(a-b) = cos(a)cos(b) + sin(a)sin(b)

Add'm: 
   cos(a+b) + cos(a-b) = 2 cos(a)cos(b)

Your multiplication operation is on the right, your sum and difference tones are on the left.
