Double and Half Angles
Let's start with the formula for the cosine of a sum:
cos(A + B) = cos(A) cos(B) – sin(A) sin(B)
Now replace B with A and simplify and we get a double angle formula:
(1)
cos(2A) = (cos(A))² – (sin(A))²
(2)
Now do the same with sine:
sin(A + B) = sin(A) cos(B) + cos(A) sin(B)
(3)
So,
sin(2A) = 2 sin(A) cos(B)
(4)
To get half angle formulas we start with (2) above and replace (sin(A))² with
1- (cos(A))? to get
cos(2A) = 2(cos(A))² –
When we solve this equation for cos(A), we get
|1+cos(2A)
cos(A) =
Finally, replace A with - to get the half angle formula:
|1+cos(0)
Cos
= +
(5)
2
In this formula, you have consider the quadrant of - to decide if you should keep the
plus or minus sign.
See if you can start with (2) above and derive the other half angle formula:
|1-cos(0)
sin
Now see if you can use your higher order thinking skills to prove the following
identities:
1. sin(3x) = (sin(x))(4(cos(x))² – 1)
2. cos(4x) = 1– 8(sin(x))²(cos(x))²
3. sin(3x) = (sin(x))(3 – 4(sin(x))²)
4. sin(4x) = (4 sin(x) cos(x))(2(cos(x))² – 1)
Finally, find the following without a calculator:
5. tan
6. cos()
