    Trigonometrical Identities
    Introduction
    Very often it is necessary to rewrite expressions involving sines, cosines and tangents in alter-
    native forms. To do this we use formulas known as trigonometric identities. A number of
    commonly used identities are listed here:

    1. The identities

    sin A 1 1 cos A 1
    tan A = sec A = cosec A = cot A = =
    cos A cos A sin A sin A tan A

    sin(A ± B) = sin A cos B ± cos A sin B

    cos(A ± B) = cos A cos B ∓ sin A sin B

    tan A ± tan B
    tan(A ± B) =
    1 ∓ tan A tan B

    2 sin A cos B = sin(A + B) + sin(A − B)

    2 cos A cos B = cos(A − B) + cos(A + B)

    2 sin A sin B = cos(A − B) − cos(A + B)

    sin2 A + cos2 A = 1

    1 + cot2 A = cosec2 A, tan2 A + 1 = sec2 A

    cos 2A = cos2 A − sin2 A = 2 cos2 A − 1 = 1 − 2 sin2 A

    sin 2A = 2 sin A cos A

    1 − cos 2A 1 + cos 2A
    sin2 A = , cos2 A =
    2 2
       
    A+B A−B
    sin A + sin B = 2 sin cos
    2 2
       
    A+B A−B
    sin A − sin B = 2 cos sin
    2 2
       
    A+B A−B
    cos A + cos B = 2 cos cos
    2 2
       
    A+B B−A
    cos A − cos B = 2 sin sin
    2 2

    Note: sin2 A is the notation used for (sin A)2 . Similarly cos2 A means (cos A)2 and so on.
