Sum and Difference Identities

This document provides sum and difference identities for trigonometric functions including sine, cosine, and tangent. It gives the formulas for sin(A+B), sin(A-B), cos(A+B), cos(A-B), tan(A+B), and tan(A-B). It also includes two example problems that demonstrate using the identities to find exact values of trigonometric functions and involves solving problems with multiple angles in different quadrants.

Sum and Difference Identities for Sine

• sin(𝐴 + 𝐵) = sin 𝐴 cos 𝐵 + cos 𝐴 sin 𝐵


• sin(𝐴 − 𝐵) = sin 𝐴 cos 𝐵 − cos 𝐴 sin 𝐵

Sum and Difference Identities for Cosine

• cos(𝐴 + 𝐵) = cos 𝐴 cos 𝐵 − sin 𝐴 sin 𝐵


• cos(𝐴 − 𝐵) = cos 𝐴 cos 𝐵 + sin 𝐴 sin 𝐵

Sum and Difference Identities for Tangent


tan 𝐴+tan 𝐵
• tan(𝐴 + 𝐵) =
1−tan 𝐴 tan 𝐵
tan 𝐴−tan 𝐵
