Double-Angle Identities

We can use the cosine sum identity to derive double-angle identities for cosine.

Cosine sum identity



There are two alternate forms of this identity.



We can use the sine sum identity to derive a double-angle identity for sine.

Sine sum identity



We can use the tangent sum identity to derive a double-angle identity for tangent.

Example 1 FINDING FUNCTION VALUES OF 2θ GIVEN INFORMATION ABOUT θ

Given and sin θ < 0, find sin 2θ, cos 2θ, and tan 2θ.

The identity for sin 2θ requires sin θ.

Any of the three forms may be used.

Example 1 FINDING FUNCTION VALUES OF 2θ GIVEN INFORMATION ABOUT θ (cont.)

Alternatively, find tan 2θ by finding the quotient of sin 2θ and cos 2θ.

Example 2 FINDING FUNCTION VALUES OF θ GIVEN INFORMATION ABOUT 2θ

Find the values of the six trigonometric functions of θ if

Use the identity to find sin θ:

θ is in quadrant II, so sin θ is positive.

Example 2 FINDING FUNCTION VALUES OF θ GIVEN INFORMATION ABOUT 2θ (cont.)

Use a right triangle in quadrant II to find the values of cos θ and tan θ.

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find x.

where V is the voltage and R is a constant that measure the resistance of the toaster in ohms.*

Example 6 DETERMINING WATTAGE CONSUMPTION

If a toaster is plugged into a common household outlet, the wattage consumed is not constant. Instead it varies at a high frequency according to the model

*(Source: Bell, D., Fundamentals of Electric Circuits, Fourth Edition, Prentice-Hall, 1988.)

Graph the wattage W consumed by a typical toaster with R = 15 and in the window [0, .05] by [–500, 2000]. How many oscillations are there?

Example 6 DETERMINING WATTAGE CONSUMPTION

There are six oscillations.


Product-to-Sum Identities

The identities for cos(A + B) and cos(A – B) can be added to derive a product-to-sum identity for cosines.



Similarly, subtracting cos(A + B) from cos(A – B) gives a product-to-sum identity for sines.



Using the identities for sin(A + B) and sine(A – B) gives the following product-to-sum identities.
