Any other applicable formulas may also be used.

TRIGONOMETRY

sin2 x + cos2 x = 1

1 + tan2 x = sec2 x

1 + cot2 x = cosec2 x

sin 2A = 2 sin A.cos A

cos 2A = cos2 A - sin2 A

2 tan A
tan 2A =
1 - tan 2 A

1 1
sin 2 A = - cos 2 A
2 2

1 1
cos 2 A = + cos 2 A
2 2

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

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

tan A ± tan B
tan (A ± B) =
1 - tan A. tan B

sin A.cos B = ½ [sin(A + B) + sin (A - B)]

cos A.sin B = ½ [sin(A + B) – sin(A - B)]

cos A.cos B = ½ [cos(A + B) + cos(A - B)]

sin A.sin B = ½ [cos(A - B) - cos(A + B)]
