The addition formulae
In trigonometry we often have to solve problems involving
compound angles. For example,
sin( + 30 )
It is important to note that trigonometric functions are not
distributive over addition. In other words,
sin( + 30 )  sin + sin30
In fact, for two angles A and B,
sin( A + B )  sin A cos B + cos A sin B
This is known as one of the addition formulae (or compound
angle formulae) and it should be learnt.

The addition formulae involving sin
To find an identity for sin(A – B) we can replace B in
sin( A + B )  sin A cos B + cos A sin B
by –B to give:
sin( A  B )  sin A cos(  B ) + cos A sin(  B )
Remember that
cos (–B) = cos B
and
sin (–B) = –sin B
So,
sin( A  B)  sin A cos B  cos A sin B

Proof of cos(A + B) = cos A cos B – sin A sin B
To find the addition formula for cos(A + B) we can use the fact
that cos θ = sin(90 – θ), to give
cos( A + B) = sin(90  ( A + B)
= sin((90  A)  B)
= sin(90  A)cos B  cos(90  A)sin B )
Using the fact that
sin(90  A) = cos A
and
cos(90  A) = sin A
It follows that the addition formula for cos(A + B) is
cos( A + B)  cos A cos B  sin A sin B

The addition formulae involving cos
To find an identity for cos(A – B) we can replace B in
cos( A + B)  cos A cos B  sin A sin B
by –B to give:
cos( A  B )  cos A cos(  B )  sin A sin(  B )
Using the fact that
cos (–B) = cos B
and
sin (–B) = –sin B,
we have:
cos( A  B)  cos A cos B + sin A sin B

Using the addition formulae
Use the identity for sin(A + B) to find the exact value of sin 75°.
We don’t know the exact value of 75° but we do know the sine
and cosine of 30° and 45°.
We can write sin 75° as sin (30° + 45°) to give
sin(30 + 45 ) = sin30 cos 45 + cos30 sin 45

Double angle formulae
We can use the addition formulae to derive formulae involving
sin 2A, cos 2A and tan 2A.
Using the formula
sin( A + B )  sin A cos B + cos A sin B
where A is equal to B gives:
sin( A + A)  sin A cos A + cos A sin A
sin2 A  2sin A cos A
This is the first double angle formula and it should be learnt.

cos( A + B)  cos A cos B + sin A sin B
where A is equal to B gives:
cos( A + A)  cos A cos A  sin A sin A
cos2 A  cos2 A  sin2 A
We can use the identity sin2A + cos2A = 1 to write this in two
more ways:

Using double angle formulae to prove identities
We can use the double angle formulae to prove other identities
involving multiple angles. For example:
Use the compound and double angle formulae to prove that
cos3  4cos3   3cos
LHS = cos3
= cos( + 2 )
= cos cos2  sin sin2
= cos (2cos2   1)  2sin sin cos
= 2cos3   cos  2sin2  cos
= 2cos3   cos  2cos (1  cos2  )
= 2cos3   cos  2cos  2cos3 
= 4cos3   3cos = RHS

Solving equations
We can also use the double angle formulae to solve equations
involving double angles. For example,
Solve cos = 3cos2 + 2 for 0    360
cos = 3(2cos2   1) + 2
cos = 6cos2   3 + 2
6cos2   cos  1= 0
(2cos  1)(3cos +1) = 0
cos  =
1
2
or
θ = 60°, 300°
cos  =  31
θ = 109.5°, 250.5°
The complete solution set is θ = 60°, 300°, 109.5°, 250.5°.

Expressions of the form a cos θ + b sin θ
As we have seen, the graph of f(θ) = a cos θ + b sin θ can be
obtained by stretching a sine or cosine curve vertically and
translating it horizontally.
Expressions of the form a cos θ + b sin θ can therefore be
expressed in the form R cos (θ ± α) or R sin (θ ± α).
Suppose we want to express a cos θ + b sin θ in terms of cos
only.
If we divide and multiply a cos θ + b sin θ by

But cos α cos θ + sin α sin θ = cos(θ – α), so:
a cos + b sin = a 2 + b2 cos(   )

where R = a 2 + b2 and α = tan–1 ba .

and
a cos θ – b sin θ = R cos (θ + α)
where R = a 2 + b 2

we can write this as:
cos2 = 2cos2   1
2sin2 + 3(cos2 +1)
2sin2 + 3(cos2 +1) = 2sin2 + 3cos2 + 3
 4sin cos + 6cos2   2sin2 + 3cos2 + 3

Therefore, 4 sin cos + 6cos2   13 cos(2  33.7 ) + 3

Therefore the maximum value of 4sin cos + 6cos2  is

The smallest positive value of θ at which this maximum occurs
is given when
2  33.7 = 0
