sin²θ+cos²θ=1
SL 3.6
For any value of θ:
sin2θ+cos2θ=1📖
Sine Double Angle Identity
SL 3.6
The double angle identity for sin states that
sin2θ=2sinθcosθ📖
Cosine Double Angle Identity
SL 3.6
The double angle identity for cosine states that
cos2θ =cos2θ−sin2θ=2cos2θ−1=1−2sin2θ
These three different forms come from leveraging sin2θ+cos2θ=1.
