Knowledge of double angle formulae

Sin and Cos values you should know


The Addition Formulae
sin (A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B
sin (A - B) = sin A cos B - cos A sin B

cos (A + B) = cos A cos B - sin A sin B


cos (A - B) = cos A cos B + sin A sin B
Double Angle Identities (1)
sin (2A)
sin (A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B

Setting A = B
sin (A + A) = sin A cos A + cos A sin A
sin (2A) = 2 sin A cos A
Double Angles Identities (2)
cos (2A)
cos (A + B) = cos A cos B - sin A sin B
Setting A = B
cos (A + A) = cos A cos A - sin A sin A
cos (2A) = cos2 A - sin2 A
Since, sin2x + cos2x = 1
cos (2A) = cos2 A – (1 - cos2x) = 2 cos2 A - 1
cos (2A) = 1 - sin2x – sin2 A = 1 - 2 sin2 A
Challenge …...
Using
sin (A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B
cos (A + B) = cos A cos B - sin A sin B
Find,
tan (A + B) = (in terms of tan A and tan B)
Tan (A + B) - 1
sin (A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B
cos (A + B) = cos A cos B - sin A sin B
tan (A + B) = sin (A + B)
cos (A +B)
tan (A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B
cos A cos B - sin A sin B
Divide by cos A cos B
tan (A + B) = sin A/cos A + sin B/cos B
1 - sin A sin B/cos A cos B
Tan (A + B) - 2
tan (A + B) = sin A/cos A + sin B/cos B
1 - sin A sin B/cos A cos B

tan (A + B) = tan A + tan B


1 – tan A tan B

Setting A = B
tan (A + A) = tan A + tan A
1 – tan A tan A
tan (2A) = 2 tan A
1 – tan2 A
Things you should know
sin x = cos (90-x)
y = sin x
cos x = sin (90-x)

sin 30 =1/2= 0.5


sin 0 = 0 sin 45 = 1/2 = 0.707
sin 90 =1
sin 60 = 3
/2 = 0.866
y = cos x
cos 60 =1/2= 0.5
cos 45 = 1/2 = 0.707
cos 0 = 1 cos 30 = 3/2 = 0.866
cos 90 =0
