Topics in Trigonometric Functions - II

1

Addition and Subtraction Formulae

  • cos(A+B) = cosA cosB - sinA sinB — this is the MASTER formula from which all others are derived
  • cos(A-B) = cosA cosB + sinA sinB — replace B with -B in cos(A+B)
  • sin(A+B) = sinA cosB + cosA sinB — derived using complementary angle identity
2

Product-to-Sum and Sum-to-Product Transformations

  • These formulae convert products of trig functions into sums/differences and vice versa
  • Product-to-Sum: 2sinAcosB = sin(A+B) + sin(A−B)
  • Product-to-Sum: 2cosAsinB = sin(A+B) − sin(A−B)
3

Multiple Angle Formulae (2A and 3A)

  • sin2A = 2sinAcosA = 2tanA/(1+tan²A)
  • cos2A = cos²A − sin²A = 2cos²A − 1 = 1 − 2sin²A = (1−tan²A)/(1+tan²A)
  • tan2A = 2tanA/(1−tan²A)
4

Sub-Multiple Angle Formulae (A/2)

  • A/2, A/3, A/4 are called sub-multiples of A
  • sin(A/2) = ±√((1−cosA)/2) — sign depends on the quadrant of A/2
  • cos(A/2) = ±√((1+cosA)/2) — sign depends on the quadrant of A/2
