sin( A  B) = sin A cos B  cos A sin B A+ B A− B
sin A + sin B = 2sin cos
2 2
cos( A  B) = cos A cos B sin A sin B
A+ B A− B
sin A − sin B = 2 cos sin
tan A  tan B 2 2
tan( A  B) =
1 tan A tan B A+ B A− B
cos A + cos B = 2 cos cos
2sin A cos B = sin( A + B) + sin( A − B) 2 2
A+ B A− B
2cos A cos B = cos( A + B) + cos( A − B) cos A − cos B = −2sin sin
2 2
2sin A sin B = cos( A − B) − cos( A + B)
