So far, we have talked about modifying angles in terms of addition and subtraction • Not included within that was the case of multiply certain angles by values • Specifically, what if we double it?
Double-Angle Identities • Double Angle identities will allow us to find trig values for when we double the angle of interest
Sine/Cosine • Let a be an angle; radians or degrees • sin(2a) = 2sin(a)cos(a) • cos(2a) = cos2(a) – sin2(a) = 2cos2(a) – 1 = 1 – 2sin2(a)
Tangent • Tan(2a) = • Just as before, we typically we try to use angles from the unit circle we know about (from our chart)
Similar to problems from the last section, we must be able to use the given identities with or without an angle
Example. Given that sin(x) = 1/√5, and tan(x) is positive, determine the value of cos(2x), sin(2x) and tan(2x)
Example. Given that cos(x) = -2/√5 and that sin(x) is positive, determine the values for cos(2x), sin(2x) and tan(2x).
Proving Identities • Also using product identities, we may verify or prove other identities • Still may need to use previous identities (have those handy, or use the reference page from the back of the book)
Using these identities, we can rewrite angles, similar to before • Example. Determine the exact value of sin(π/8) • What angle is π/8 half of?
