4 4 Addition and Subtraction Formulas

5 5 We now derive identities for trigonometric functions of sums and differences.

6 6 Example 1 – Using the Addition and Subtraction Formulas Find the exact value of each expression. (a) cos 75  (b) cos Solution: (a) Notice that 75  = 45  + 30 . Since we know the exact values of sine and cosine at 45  and 30 , we use the Addition Formula for Cosine to get cos 75  = cos (45  + 30  ) = cos 45  cos 30  – sin 45  sin 30  =

7 7 Example 1 – Solution (b) Since the Subtraction Formula for Cosine gives cos = cos = cos cos + sin sin cont’d

8 8 Example 3 – Proving a Cofunction Identity Prove the cofunction identity cos = sin u. Solution: By the Subtraction Formula for Cosine, we have cos = cos cos u + sin sin u = 0  cos u + 1  sin u = sin u

9 9 Addition and Subtraction Formulas The cofunction identity in Example 3, as well as the other cofunction identities, can also be derived from the following figure. The next example is a typical use of the Addition and Subtraction Formulas in calculus. cos = = sin u

12 12 Evaluating Expressions Involving Inverse Trigonometric Functions

13 13 Evaluating Expressions Involving Inverse Trigonometric Functions Expressions involving trigonometric functions and their inverses arise in calculus. In the next example we illustrate how to evaluate such expressions.

14 14 Example 6 – Simplifying an Expression Involving Inverse Trigonometric Functions Write sin(cos –1 x + tan –1 y) as an algebraic expression in x and y, where –1  x  1 and y is any real number. Solution: Let  = cos –1 x and  = tan –1 y. We sketch triangles with angles  and  such that cos  = x and tan  = y (see Figure 2). cos  = x tan  = y Figure 2

15 15 Example 6 – Solution From the triangles we have sin  = cos  = sin  = From the Addition Formula for Sine we have sin(cos –1 x + tan –1 y) = sin(  +  ) = sin  cos  + cos  sin  cont’d Addition Formula for Sine

17 17 Expressions of the Form A sin x + B cos x

18 18 Expressions of the Form A sin x + B cos x We can write expressions of the form A sin x + B cos x in terms of a single trigonometric function using the Addition Formula for Sine. For example, consider the expression sin x + cos x If we set  =  /3, then cos  = and sin  = /2, and we can write sin x + cos x = cos  sin x + sin  cos x = sin(x +  ) = sin

19 19 Expressions of the Form A sin x + B cos x We are able to do this because the coefficients and /2 are precisely the cosine and sine of a particular number, in this case,  /3. We can use this same idea in general to write A sin x + B cos x in the form k sin(x +  ). We start by multiplying the numerator and denominator by to get A sin x + B cos x =

20 20 Expressions of the Form A sin x + B cos x We need a number  with the property that cos  = and sin  = Figure 4 shows that the point (A, B) in the plane determines a number  with precisely this property. Figure 4

21 21 Expressions of the Form A sin x + B cos x With this  we have A sin x + B cos x = (cos  sin x + sin  cos x) = sin(x +  ) We have proved the following theorem.

22 22 Example 8 – A Sum of Sine and Cosine Terms Express 3 sin x + 4 cos x in the form k sin(x +  ). Solution: By the preceding theorem, k = = = 5. The angle  has the property that sin  = and cos  =. Using calculator, we find   53.1 . Thus 3 sin x + 4 cos x  5 sin (x + 53.1  )

23 23 Example 9 – Graphing a Trigonometric Function Write the function f (x) = –sin 2x + cos 2x in the form k sin(2x +  ), and use the new form to graph the function. Solution: Since A = –1 and B =, we have k =k = = = 2. The angle  satisfies cos  = – and sin  = /2. From the signs of these quantities we conclude that  is in Quadrant II.

24 24 Example 9 – Solution Thus  = 2  /3. By the preceding theorem we can write f (x) = –sin 2x + cos 2x = 2 sin Using the form f (x) = 2 sin 2 cont’d

25 25 Example 9 – Solution we see that the graph is a sine curve with amplitude 2, period 2  /2 =  and phase shift –  /3. The graph is shown in Figure 5. cont’d Figure 5
