sin 2 A + cos 2 A = 1

sec 2 A = 1 + tan 2 A

cosec 2 A = 1 + cot 2 A

sin( A ± B) = sin A cos B ± cos A sin B

cos( A ± B) = cos A cos B m sin A sin B

tan A ± tan B
tan( A ± B ) =
1 m tan A tan B
sin 2 A = 2 sin A cos A

cos 2 A = cos 2 A − sin 2 A = 2 cos 2 A − 1 = 1 − 2 sin 2 A

2 tan A
tan 2 A =
1 − tan 2 A

sin A + sin B = 2 sin 12 ( A + B ) cos 12 ( A − B )

sin A − sin B = 2 cos 12 ( A + B) sin 12 ( A − B)

cos A + cos B = 2 cos 12 ( A + B ) cos 12 ( A − B)

cos A − cos B = −2 sin 12 ( A + B ) sin 12 ( A − B)
