9.3 Double-Angle and Half-Angle Formulas
-FURTHER IDENTITIES
2
Double Angle Formulas Suppose we use the sum formula for sine, but the two values that we add are the same, that is α=β
3
Double angle formula for cosine
4
Alternate forms of the cosine double angle formula
Because we know that sin2x+cos2x=1, we can alter that equation and solve for sin2x or cos2x and make substitutions into the double angle formula.
5
Now do the same thing but lets substitute for sin2x instead.

9.3 Finding Function Values of 2
Example Given and sin < 0, find sin 2, cos 2, and tan 2. Solution To find sin 2, we must find sin . Choose the negative square root since sin < 0.

9.3 Simplifying Expressions Using Double-Number Identities
Example Simplify each expression. cos² 7x – sin² 7x (b) sin 15° cos 15° Solution cos 2A = cos² A – sin² A. Substituting 7x in for A gives cos² 7x – sin² 7x = cos 2(7x) = cos 14x. Apply sin 2A = 2 sin A cos A directly.

9.3 Half-Number Identities
Half-number or half-angle identities for sine and cosine are used in calculus when eliminating the xy-term from an equation of the form Ax² + Bxy + Cy² + Dx + Ey + F = 0, so the type of conic it represents can be determined. From the alternative forms of the identity for cos 2A, we can derive three additional identities, e.g. Choose the sign ± depending on the quadrant of the angle A/2.
