We can prove these sum to product formulas using the product to sum formulas in trigonometry. The sum to product formula are expressed as follows: sin A + sin B = 2 sin [(A + B)/2] cos [(A – B)/2] sin A – sin B = 2 sin [(A – B)/2] cos [(A + B)/2] cos A… Continue reading Sum to Product Formula List

We know that tan (A/2) = [sin (A/2)] / [cos (A/2)] From the half angle formulas of sin and cos, tan (A/2) = [±√(1 – cos A)/2] / [±√(1 + cos A)/2] = ±√[(1 – cos A) / (1 + cos A)] This is one of the formulas of tan (A/2). Let us derive the other two… Continue reading Half Angle Formula of Tan Derivation

Now, we will prove the half angle formula for the cosine function. Using one of the above formulas of cos A, cos A = 2 cos2(A/2) – 1 From this, 2 cos2(A/2) = 1 + cos A cos2 (A/2) = (1 + cos A) / 2 cos (A/2) = ±√[(1 + cos A) / 2]

Now, we will prove the half angle formula for the sine function. Using one of the above formulas of cos A, we have cos A = 1 – 2 sin2 (A/2) From this, 2 sin2 (A/2) = 1 – cos A sin2 (A/2) = (1 – cos A) / 2 sin (A/2) = ±√[(1 – cos A) /… Continue reading Half Angle Formula of Sin Proof

In this section, we will see the half angle formulas of sin, cos, and tan. We know the values of the trigonometric functions (sin, cos , tan, cot, sec, cosec) for the angles like 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90° from the trigonometric table. But to know the exact values of sin 22.5°, tan 15°, etc,… Continue reading Half Angle Formulas?

The sum formula of tangent function is, tan (A + B) = (tan A + tan B) / (1 – tan A tan B) When A = B, the above formula becomes, tan (A + A) = (tan A + tan A) / (1 – tan A tan A) =(2 tan A) / (1 – tan2A)… Continue reading Double Angle Formulas of Tan

The sum formula of cosine function is, cos (A + B) = cos A cos B – sin A sin B When A = B, the above formula becomes, cos (A + A) = cos A cos A – sin A sin A cos 2A = cos2A – sin2A Let us use this as a… Continue reading Double Angle Formulas of Cos
