A Brief Review

As a reminder and for quick reference, here is a list of all of the formulae presented by Trig Frog.

I am Trig Frog!

The Sum and Difference Formulae

sin(A + B) = sinA cosB + cosA sinB

sin(A - B) = sinA cosB - cosA sinB

cos(A + B) = cosA cosB - sinA sinB

cos(A - B) = cosA cosB + sinA sinB

tan(A + B) = (tanA + tanB)/(1 - tanA tanB)

tan(A - B) = (tan A - tanB)/(1 + tanA tanB)

The Double Angle Formulae

sin2A = 2sinA cosA

cos2A = cos^2 A - sin^2

= 2cos^2 A - 1

= 1 - 2sin^2 A

tan2A = (2tanA)/(1 - tan^2 A)

The Power Reduction Formulae

sin^2 A = (1 - cos2A)/2

cos^2 A = (1 + cos2A)/2

tan^2 A = (1 - cos2A)/(1 + cos2A)

The Half Angle Formulae

sin A/2 = ± £((1 - cosA)/2)

cos A/2 = ± £((1 + cosA)/2)

tan A/2 = ± £((1 - cosA)/(1 + cosA))

The Product to Sum Formulae

sinAcosB = 1/2[sin(A + B) + sin(A - B)]

cosAsinB = 1/2[sin(A + B) - sin(A - B)]

cosAcosB = 1/2[cos(A - B) + cos(A + B)]

sinAsinB = 1/2[cos(A - B) - cos(A + B)]

The Sum to Product Formulae

sin x + sin y = 2sin((x + y)/2) cos((x - y)/2)

sin x - sin y = 2cos((x + y)/2) sin((x - y)/2)

cos x + cos y = 2cos((x + y)/2) cos((x - y)/2)

cos x - cos y = -2sin((x + y)/2) sin((x - y)/2)
