QUESTION 2

2.1 Consider the sketched unit circle. By the definition of trigonometric functions, the points
P and Q on the terminal sides of angles 𝛼 and 𝛽, and are labelled as shown in the figure
below.

Use the distance formula to show that: PQ 2  2  2cos cos  sin  sin   (4)
2.2 Consider  POQ in the sketch below:

 -

2.2.1 Make use of the distance formula to show that OQ 2  2  2 cos    (4)

2.2.2 Hence, compare 2.1. and 2.2 and write a conclusion about cos -   (4)

2.3 Use. cos -    cos cos  sin sin   to derive a formula for cos    .
(Hint: use reduction formula) (4)

2.4 Use cos -   to derive a formula for sin -   .

(Hint: Use co-functions) (4)

2.5 Use cos    to derive a formula for sin -   .

(Hint: Use co-functions) (4)
