Trigonometry




 s=o/h      c=a/h        t=o/a  


1 radian = 180 degrees / pi

(sin x)^2 + (cos x)^2 = 1

(sec x)^2 = 1 - (tan x)^2

Double angles

(cos 2x) = 2 sinx cosx

(sin 2x) = (cos x)^2 - (sin x)^2 = 1 - 2 (sin x)^2

(tan 2x) = (2 tanx)/(1- (tan x)^2)


Addition/subtraction


sin (x + y) = sinx cosy + siny cosx

sin (x - y) = sinx cosy - siny cosx

cos (x + y) = cosx cosy - sinx siny

cos (x - y) = cosx cosy + sinx siny


tan (x + y) = (tanx + tany) / (1 - tanx tany)

tan ( x - y) = (tanx - tany) / (1 + tanx tany)
