Trigonometric Identities

  • $ \cos A \cos B = 0.5\left(\cos(A + B) + \cos(A - B)\right) $
  • $ \sin A \sin B = 0.5\left(\cos(A - B) - \cos(A + B)\right) $
  • $ \sin A \cos B = 0.5\left(\sin(A + B) + \sin(A - B)\right) $
  • $ \cos(A \pm B) = \cos A \cos B \mp \sin A \sin B $
  • $ \sin(A \pm B) = \sin A \cos B \pm \cos A \sin B $
