Trig Formulae

Addition Formulae: Double angle:

sin(A+B) sinAcosB + cosAsinB sin2A 2sinAcosA

sin(A-B) sinAcosB-cosAsinB cos2A cosA - sinA
2cosA - 1
In the formula book

cos(A+B) cosAcosB sinAsinB 1 2 sinA

2 tan A
cos(A-B) cosAcosB + sinAsinB tan2A
1 tan 2 A

tan A tan B
tan(A+B) Half Angle:
1 tan A tan B
tan A tan B 1 1
tan(A-B) sin (1 cos )
1 tan A tan B 2 2
1 1
cos (1 cos )
2 2

Pythagoras: R Formulae:

sin + cos 1 Rsin( ) = a sin + bcos

sec 1 + tan Rcos( ) = a cos - bsin
cosec 1 + cot Where R = a2 b2
b a
and = tan 1 OR tan 1
a b
CHECK which is right

Sum to product: Product to sum:
