Trigonometric Formulas Reference

Comprehensive reference of trigonometric formulas: basic identities, sum and difference, double angle, half angle, product-to-sum, and sum-to-product formulas.

Basic Identities

sin²α + cos²α = 1
tanα = sinα / cosα
cotα = cosα / sinα
1 + tan²α = 1 / cos²α
1 + cot²α = 1 / sin²α
tanα × cotα = 1

Sum and Difference Formulas

sin(α + β) = sinα·cosβ + cosα·sinβ
sin(α − β) = sinα·cosβ − cosα·sinβ
cos(α + β) = cosα·cosβ − sinα·sinβ
cos(α − β) = cosα·cosβ + sinα·sinβ
tan(α + β) = (tanα + tanβ) / (1 − tanα·tanβ)
tan(α − β) = (tanα − tanβ) / (1 + tanα·tanβ)

Double Angle Formulas

sin 2α = 2·sinα·cosα
cos 2α = cos²α − sin²α
cos 2α = 2cos²α − 1
cos 2α = 1 − 2sin²α
tan 2α = 2tanα / (1 − tan²α)

Half Angle Formulas

sin(α/2) = ±√((1 − cosα) / 2)
cos(α/2) = ±√((1 + cosα) / 2)
tan(α/2) = sinα / (1 + cosα)
tan(α/2) = (1 − cosα) / sinα

Product-to-Sum Formulas

sinα·sinβ = ½[cos(α−β) − cos(α+β)]
cosα·cosβ = ½[cos(α−β) + cos(α+β)]
sinα·cosβ = ½[sin(α+β) + sin(α−β)]

Sum-to-Product Formulas

sinα + sinβ = 2·sin((α+β)/2)·cos((α−β)/2)
sinα − sinβ = 2·cos((α+β)/2)·sin((α−β)/2)
cosα + cosβ = 2·cos((α+β)/2)·cos((α−β)/2)
cosα − cosβ = −2·sin((α+β)/2)·sin((α−β)/2)

Perguntas Frequentes

What is the most fundamental trig identity?
The Pythagorean identity: sin²α + cos²α = 1. All other identities can be derived from this and the definitions.
What are the sum formulas used for?
Sum and difference formulas let you find exact values of trig functions for non-standard angles, e.g., sin(75°) = sin(45° + 30°).
What are double angle formulas?
They express trig functions of 2α in terms of α: sin 2α = 2sinα cosα, cos 2α = cos²α − sin²α.
When are product-to-sum formulas useful?
They convert products of trig functions into sums, simplifying integration and signal processing calculations.
