    Compound Angle Formulae

    sin(A + B) = sinAcosB + cosAsinB


    cos(A + B) = cosAcosB - sinAsinB
    tan(A + B) = tanA + tanB
    1 tanAtanB

    sin(A - B) = sinAcosB - cosAsinB


    cos(A - B) = cosAcosB + sinAsinB
    tan(A - B) = tanA - tanB
    1 + tanAtanB
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    rcos( + ) form
    When we have an expression in the form: acos + bsin, it is sometimes best to
    rewrite this in the form rcos( + ), especially when solving trigonometric
    equations.
    To calculate what r and are, note that rcos( + ) = r cos cos - r sin sin =
    r cos cos - r sin sin by the above identity.
    So we need to set rcos = a and -rsin = b to make this equal to acos + bsin
    So we have two equations:

    rcos = a (1)
    rsin = -b (2)
    We can find by dividing (2) by (1):
    sin/cos = -b/a , hence tan = -b/a which we can solve.
    We can find r by squaring and adding (1) and (2):
    r2cos2 + r2sin2 = a2 + b2
    hence r2 = a2 + b2 (since cos2 + sin2
    In a similar way, we can write expressions of the form
    acos + bsinas rsin( +

    Double Angle Formulae


    sin(A + B) = sinAcosB + cosAsinB
    Replacing B by A in the above formula becomes:
    sin(2A) = sinAcosA + cosAsinA

    so: sin2A = 2sinAcosA


    similarly:
    cos2A = cos2A - sin2A
    Replacing cos A by 1 - sin A in the above formula gives:
    2

    cos2A = 1 - 2sin2A
    Replacing sin2A by 1 - cos2A gives:
    cos2A = 2cos2A 1
    It can also be shown that:
    tan2A = 2tanA
    1 - tan2A
    Product to Sum Formulae
    Sometimes it is useful to be able to write a product of trigonometric
    functions as a sum of simpler trigonometric functions (this might make
    integration easier, for example).
    Now, cos(A + B) = cosAcosB - sinAsinB
    and cos(A - B) = cosAcosB + sinAsinB
    Adding these two:
    cos(A + B) + cos(A - B) = 2cosAcosB
    Subtracting one from the other:
    cos(A - B) - cos(A + B) = 2sinAsinB

    Similar formula can be obtained using the expansion of sin(A + B).
