Section 5.4 Sum and Difference Formulas

Objective: In this lesson you learned how to use sum and difference
formulas to rewrite and evaluate trigonometric functions.

I. Using Sum and Difference Formulas (Pages 400−403) What you should learn
How to use sum and
List the sum and difference formulas for sine, cosine, and difference formulas to
tangent. evaluate trigonometric
functions, verify
sin(u + v) = sin u cos v + cos u sin v identities, and solve
sin(u − v) = sin u cos v − cos u sin v trigonometric equations

cos(u + v) = cos u cos v − sin u sin v


cos(u − v) = cos u cos v + sin u sin v
tan(u + v) = (tan u + tan v)/(1 − tan u tan v)
tan(u − v) = (tan u − tan v)/(1 + tan u tan v)

Example 1: Use a sum or difference formula to find the exact


value of tan 255°.

(9 + 6√3 + 3)/6

Example 2: Find the exact value of cos 95° cos 35° + sin 95°
sin 35°.

A reduction formula is . . . a formula involving


expressions such as sin(θ + nπ/2) or cos(θ + nπ/2), where n is an
integer, that can be derived from sum and difference formulas.
