Trigonometric Functions of Sum and Difference of Two Angles


    • sin (−x) = − sin (x)
    • cos (−x) = − cos (x)

     Tips:

  • sin (A + B) + sin (A − B) = 2 sin A · cos B [A > B]
  • cos (A + B) + cos (A − B) = 2 cos A · cos B
  • Tan \ C + Tan \ D = \frac{\sin (C + D)}{\cos C \cdot \cos D}
  • Tan \ C - Tan \ D = \frac{\sin (C - D)}{\cos C \cdot \cos D}
  • \cot \ C + \cot \ D = \frac{\sin (C + D)}{\sin C \cdot \sin D}
  • \cot \ C - \cot \ D = \frac{\sin (D - C)}{\sin C \cdot \sin D}
  • cos A · cos 2A · cos 4A ...... cos 2n−1·A = \tt \frac{\sin 2^{n}A}{2^{n}\cdot Sin A}
  • \tt Sin \frac{\theta}{2}\pm Cos\frac{\theta}{2}=\sqrt{2}\ Sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\pm \theta\right)=\sqrt{2}\cdot Cos\left(\theta\mp\frac{\pi}{4}\right)
  • The greatest and least values of a sin θ + b cos θ is \sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}},-\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}
  • If A + B + C = π then Sin 2A + Sin 2B + Sin 2C = 4 Sin A · Sin B · Sin C.
  • If A + B + C = π then Cos 2A + Cos 2B + Cos 2C = −1 − 4 Cos A Cos B Cos C.
  • If A + B + C = π then Tan A + Tan B + Tan C = Tan A · Tan B · Tan C.
  • If A + B + C = π then Cot A · Cot B + Cot B · Cot C + Cot C · Cot A = 1
  • Tricks:
  • \begin{vmatrix}\sin \frac{A}{2}+\cos \frac{A}{2}\end{vmatrix}=\sqrt{1+\sin A} (or) \sin \frac{A}{2}+\cos \frac{A}{2}=\pm\sqrt{1+\sin A} i.e., \tt \begin{cases}+ & if \ 2n\pi-\frac{\pi}{4}\leq A/2 \leq 2n\pi + \frac{3\pi}{4}\\- & Other \ wise\end{cases}
  • \begin{vmatrix}\sin \frac{A}{2}-\cos \frac{A}{2}\end{vmatrix}=\sqrt{1-\sin A} (or) \sin \frac{A}{2}-\cos \frac{A}{2}=\pm\sqrt{1-\sin A} [Above condition]
  • Tan\frac{A}{2}=\pm\sqrt{\frac{1-\cos A}{1+\cos A}}=\frac{1-\cos A}{\sin A} where A ≠ (2n + 1)π
  • \cot\frac{A}{2}=\pm\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos A}{1-\cos A}}=\frac{1+\cos A}{\sin A} where A ≠ 2nπ
  • sin2x + cos2x ≥ 2, for every real 'x'
  • cos2x + sec2x ≥ 2, for every real 'x'
  • Tan2x + cot2x ≥ 2, for every real 'x'
