FORMULA SHEET

Any applicable formula 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 = cos2A - sin2A

2 tan A
tan 2A =
1  tan 2 A

sin2 A = ½ - ½ cos 2A

cos2 A = ½ + ½ cos 2A

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)]
