SYNOPSIS
1.
sin(A+B) = sinAcosB + cosAsinB
sin(A-B) = sinAcosB - cosAsinB
2.
cos(A+B) = cosAcosB - sinA sinB
cos(A-B) = cosAcosB + sinAsinB

tan(A+B) =
tan A + tan B
1 tan A tan B
tan(A-B) =
tan A tan B
1 + tan A tan B
cot(A+B) =
cot A cot B 1
cot A + cot B
cot(A-B) =
cot A cot B + 1
cot B cot A
sin(A+B) sin(A-B) = sin2A-sin2B = cos2 B -cos2A
cos(A+B) cos(A-B) = cos2A - sin2B = cos2 B - sin2 A

If A B = 60 0 , then cos 2 A + cos 2 B cos A cos B = ,
If A B = 60 0 , then sin 2 A + sin 2 B sin A sin B = 3 / 4
7.
Sin 2 A + sin 2 B = 1 cos(A + B) cos(A B)
Cos 2 A + cos 2 B = 1 + cos(A + B) cos(A B)
