The sine and cosine were originally developed for use in surveying. They provided a way to measure the distance across lakes and around mountains. Soon they were found to be useful in navigation. The sine was used to calculate pi. When electrical measurements were made, the sine law was used. If you want to know when to use the sine and when to use the cosine, you will need to get a trig book, a physics book, an astronomy book, a sailing book, and a few other books and read them all.

How do you prove this trigonometric relationship sin3A equals 3sinA cos 2 A - sin 3 A?
sin(3A) = sin(2A + A) = sin(2A)*cos(A) + cos(2A)*sin(A)= sin(A+A)*cos(A) + cos(A+A)*sin(A) = 2*sin(A)*cos(A)*cos(A) + {cos^2(A) - sin^2(A)}*sin(A) = 2*sin(A)*cos^2(A) + sin(a)*cos^2(A) - sin^3(A) = 3*sin(A)*cos^2(A) - sin^3(A)
How do I find the product z1z2 if z1 5(cos20 plus isin20) and z2 8(cos15 plus isin15)?
Like normal expansion of brackets, along with: cos(A + B) = cos A cos B - sin A sin B sin(A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B 5(cos 20 + i sin 20) × 8(cos 15 + i sin 15) = 5×8 × (cos 20 + i sin 20)(cos 15 + i sin 15) = 40(cos 20 cos 15 + i sin 15 cos 20 + i cos 15 sin 20 + i² sin 20 sin 15) = 40(cos 20 cos 15 - sin 20 cos 15 + i(sin 15 cos 20 + cos 15 sin 20)) = 40(cos(20 +15) + i sin(15 + 20)) = 40(cos 35 + i sin 35)
How do you simplify cos times cot plus sin?
cos*cot + sin = cos*cos/sin + sin = cos2/sin + sin = (cos2 + sin2)/sin = 1/sin = cosec
Why in dot product you use cos and in vector product sin?
We use the dot product cos and in vector we use the vector product sin because of the trigonometric triangle.
How do you verify the identity of cos θ tan θ equals sin θ?
To show that (cos tan = sin) ??? Remember that tan = (sin/cos) When you substitute it for tan, cos tan = cos (sin/cos) = sin QED
Verify that sin minus cos plus 1 divided by sin plus cos subtract 1 equals sin plus 1 divided by cos?
[sin - cos + 1]/[sin + cos - 1] = [sin + 1]/cosiff [sin - cos + 1]*cos = [sin + 1]*[sin + cos - 1]iff sin*cos - cos^2 + cos = sin^2 + sin*cos - sin + sin + cos - 1iff -cos^2 = sin^2 - 11 = sin^2 + cos^2, which is true,
How do you prove this trigonometric relationship sin3A equals 3sinA cos 2 A - sin 3 A?
sin(3A) = sin(2A + A) = sin(2A)*cos(A) + cos(2A)*sin(A)= sin(A+A)*cos(A) + cos(A+A)*sin(A) = 2*sin(A)*cos(A)*cos(A) + {cos^2(A) - sin^2(A)}*sin(A) = 2*sin(A)*cos^2(A) + sin(a)*cos^2(A) - sin^3(A) = 3*sin(A)*cos^2(A) - sin^3(A)
How do you use the Euler's formula to obtain the sin3X in terms of cosX and sinX?
Using Euler's Formula, you use (cos(x) + i sin(x))^n = cos (nx) + i sin(nx) Now you let n=3 (cos(x) + i sin (x))3 = cos(3x) + i sin (3x) (cos(x))3 + 3(cos(x))2 * i sin(x) + 3cos(x) * i2 (sin(x))3 = cos(3x)+ i sin(3x) (cos(x))3 + i(3sin(x)(cos (x))2) - 3cos(x)(sin(x)2) - i(sin(x))3 = cos (3x) + i sin(3x) Now only use the terms with i in them to figure out what sin(3x) is... 3sin(x)(cos(x))2 - (sin(x))3 = sin(3x) Hope this helps! :D
How would you prove left cosA plus sinA right times left cos2A plus sin2A right equals cosA plus sin3A?
You need to make use of the formulae for sin(A+B) and cos(A+B), and that cos is an even function: sin(A+B) = cos A sin B + sin A cos B cos(A+B) = cos A cos B - sin A sin B cos even fn → cos(-x) = cos(x) To prove: (cos A + sin A)(cos 2A + sin 2A) = cos A + sin 3A The steps are to work with the left hand side, expand the brackets, collect [useful] terms together, apply A+B formula above (backwards) and apply even nature of cos function: (cos A + sin A)(cos 2A + sin 2A) = cos A cos 2A + cos A sin 2A + sin A cos 2A + sin A sin 2A = (cos A cos 2A + sin A sin 2A) + (cos A sin 2A + sin A cos 2A) = cos(A - 2A) + sin(A + 2A) = cos(-A) + sin 3A = cos A + sin 3A which is the right hand side as required.

How do I find the product z1z2 if z1 5(cos20 plus isin20) and z2 8(cos15 plus isin15)?
Like normal expansion of brackets, along with: cos(A + B) = cos A cos B - sin A sin B sin(A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B 5(cos 20 + i sin 20) × 8(cos 15 + i sin 15) = 5×8 × (cos 20 + i sin 20)(cos 15 + i sin 15) = 40(cos 20 cos 15 + i sin 15 cos 20 + i cos 15 sin 20 + i² sin 20 sin 15) = 40(cos 20 cos 15 - sin 20 cos 15 + i(sin 15 cos 20 + cos 15 sin 20)) = 40(cos(20 +15) + i sin(15 + 20)) = 40(cos 35 + i sin 35)

How do you solve double angle equations for trigonometry?
There are two ways to solve for the double angle formulas in trigonometry. The first is to use the angle addition formulas for sine and cosine. * sin(a + b) = sin(a)cos(b) + cos(a)sin(b) * cos(a + b) = cos(a)cos(b) - sin(a)sin(b) if a = b, then * sin(2a) = sin(a)cos(a) + cos(a)sin(a) = 2sin(a)cos(a) * cos(2a) = cos2(a) - sin2(b) The cooler way to solve for the double angle formulas is to use Euler's identity. eix = cos(x) + i*sin(x). Yes, that is "i" as in imaginary number. we we put 2x in for x, we get * e2ix = cos(2x) + i*sin(2x) This is the same as * (eix)2 = cos(2x) + i*sin(2x) We can substitute our original equation back in for eix. * (cos(x) + i*sin(x))2 = cos(2x) + i*sin(2x) We can distribute the squared term. * cos2(x) + i*sin(x)cos(x) + i*sin(x)cos(x) + (i*sin(x))2 = cos(2x) + i*sin(2x) And simplify. Because i is SQRT(-1), the i squared term becomes negative. * cos2(x) + 2i*sin(x)cos(x) - sin2(x) = cos(2x) + i*sin(2x) * cos2(x) - sin2(x) + 2i*sin(x)cos(x) = cos(2x) + i*sin(2x) Now you can plainly see both formulas in the equation arranged quite nicely. I don't yet know how to get rid of the i, but I'm working on it.
What is the integral of sin3ycos5ydy?
Best way: Use angle addition. Sin(Ax)Cos(Bx) = (1/2) [sin[sum x] + sin[dif x]], where sum = A+B and dif = A-B To show this, Sin(Ax)Cos(Bx) = (1/2) [sin[(A+B) x] + sin[(A-B) x]] = (1/2) [(sin[Ax]Cos[Bx]+sin[Bx]cos[Ax]) + (sin[Ax]cos[-Bx]+sin[-Bx]cos[Ax])] Using the facts that cos[-k] = cos[k] and sin[-k] = -sin[k], we have: (1/2) [(sin[Ax]Cos[Bx]+sin[Bx]cos[Ax]) + (sin[Ax]cos[-Bx]+sin[-Bx]cos[Ax])] (1/2) [(sin[Ax]Cos[Bx]+sin[Bx]cos[Ax]) + (sin[Ax]cos[Bx]-sin[Bx]cos[Ax])] (1/2) 2sin[Ax]Cos[Bx] sin[Ax]Cos[Bx] So, Int[Sin(3y)Cos(5y)dy] = (1/2)Int[Sin(8y)-Sin(2y)dy] = (-1/16) Cos[8y] +1/4 Cos[2y] + C You would get the same result if you used integration by parts twice and played around with trig identities.
Use trigonometric identities to write each expression in terms of a single trigonometric function or a constant. simplify cos t sin t?
Thanks to the pre-existing addition and subtraction theorums, we can establish the identity:sin(a+b) = sin(a)cos(b)+sin(a)cos(b)Then, solving this, we getsin(a+b) = 2(sin(a)cos(b))sin(a)cos(b) = sin(a+b)/2a=b, sosin(a)cos(a) = sin(a+a)/2sin(a)cos(a) = sin(2a)/2Therefore, the answer is sin(2a)/2.
Why in dot product you use cos and in vector product sin?
We use the dot product cos and in vector we use the vector product sin because of the trigonometric triangle.
