11.3 Sum and Difference FormulasObjective: To use the sum and difference formulas for sine and cosine.
sin ( + ) = sin cos + sin cos
sin ( - ) = sin cos - sin cos

Note the similarities and differences to the sine properties.

We will first look at the special angles called the quadrantal angles.

The quadrantal angles are those angles that lie on the axis of the Cartesian coordinate system: , , , and .0 90 180 270
We also need to be able to recognize these angles when they are given to us in radian measure. Look at the smallest possible positive angle in standard position, other than 0 , yet having the same terminal side as 0 . This is a 360 angle which is equivalent to .

We can find the trigonometric functions of the quadrantal angles using this definition. We will
begin with the point (1, 0) on the x axis.

For the angle 0 , we can see that x = 1 and y = 0. To visualize the length of r, think about the line of a 1 angle getting closer and closer to 0 at the point (1, 0).

Using the values, x = 1, y = 0, and r = 1, we list the six trig functions of 0. And of course, these values also apply to 0 radians, 360 , 2 radians, etc.
It will be just as easy to find the trig functions of the remaining quadrantal angles using the point (x, y) and the r value of 1.

Since 0 to radians is 90 , we know that is half of 90 or 45. Each successive angle is 45 more than the previous angle. Now we can name all of these special angles in degrees.

It is much easier to construct this picture of angles in both degrees and radians than it is to memorize a table involving these angles (45 or reference angles,).

45The lengths of the legs of the
45 – 45 – 90 triangle are equal to each other because their corresponding angles are equal.
If we let each leg have a length of 1, then we find the hypotenuse to be using the Pythagorean theorem.

You should memorize this triangle or at least be able to construct it. These angles will be used frequently.
Next we will look at two special triangles: the 45 – 45 – 90 triangle and the 30 – 60 – 90 triangle. These triangles will allow us to easily find the trig functions of the special angles, 45 , 30 , and 60 .

Using the definition of the trigonometric functions as the ratios of the sides of a right triangle, we can now list all six trig functions for a angle.45
WARM-UPThe expressions sin (A + B) and cos (A + B) occur frequently enough in math that it is necessary to find expressions equivalent to them that involve sines and cosines of single angles. So….
Does sin (A + B) = Sin A + Sin B
Try letting A = 30 and B = 60
For the 30 – 60 – 90 triangle, we will construct an equilateral triangle (a triangle with 3 equal angles of each, which guarantees 3 equal sides).
60
If we let each side be a length of 2, then cutting the triangle in half will give us a right triangle with a base of 1 and a hypotenuse of 2. This smaller triangle now has angles of 30, 60, and 90 .
We find the length of the other leg to be , using the Pythagorean theorem.

Either memorizing or learning how to construct these triangles is much easier than memorizing tables for the 45 , 30 , and 60 angles. These angles are used frequently and often you need exact function values rather than rounded values. You cannot get exact values on your calculator.
