4.3 Sum, Difference, and Cofunction Identities • Sum and difference identities for cosine • Cofunction identities • Sum and difference identities for sine and tangent • Summary and use
Sum and Difference Identities for Cosine • cos(x – y) = cos x cos y - sin x sin y • Claim: cos(p/2 – y) = siny • Proof: • cos(p/2 – y) = cos (p/2) cos y + sin(p/2) sin y = 0 cos y + 1 sin y = sin y
Sum and Difference Formula for Sine and Tangent sin (x- y) = sin x cos x + cos x sin y
