Identities and Formulas Involving Inverse Trigonometric Functions

We have discussed how to solve problems involving the inverse trigonometric functions: – e.g. cos(arcsin ½) – Draw and label a right triangle to solve Possible for inverse trigonometric functions to appear as arguments in the sum & difference formulas, double-angle formulas, or half-angle formulas – e.g. tan(arccos -½ – arcsin ½) Let A = arccos -½ and B = arcsin ½ Becomes tan(A – B) → difference formula for the tangent 4

Product to Sum & Sum to Product Formulas
7
Product-to-Sum & Sum-to-Product Formulas The preceding formulas can be used when we have one angle However, situations arise where we wish to operate on two DIFFERENT angles – e.g. Products such as sin A cos B transform to sums – e.g. Sums such as sin A + cos B transform to products When considering sines & cosines and two different angles, we have four different situations that can arise 7
