  1. DOUBLE-ANGLE AND HALF-ANGLE FORMULAS

  2. If we want to know a formula for we could use the sum formula. we can trade these places This is called the double angle formula for sine since it tells you the sine of double 

  3. Let's try the same thing for This is the double angle formula for cosine but by substiuting some identities we can express it in a couple other ways.

  4. Double-angle Formula for Tangent

  5. Summary ofDouble-Angle Formulas

  6. We can also derive formulas for an angle divided by 2. Half-Angle Formulas As stated it is NOT both + and - but you must figure out where the terminal side of the angle is and put on the appropriate sign for that quadrant.

  7. We could find sin 15° using the half angle formula. Since 15° is half of 30° we could use this formula if  = 30° 30° 30° 15° is in first quadrant and sine is positive there so we want the +

  8. Let's draw a picture. 5 4   -3 Use triangle to find values.

  9. If  is in quadrant II thenhalf  would be in quadrant I where sine is positive 5 4   -3 Use triangle to find cosine value.
