128 Chapter 3 The trigonometric functions

SubstitutingA = π,B = θ, this thenbecomes

sin(π−θ)=sinπcosθ −sinθcosπ

Now sinπ = 0,cos π = −1 and so we obtain

sin(π−θ)=0cosθ −sinθ(−1)=sinθ

Example3.6 Simplify

(a) cos(π + θ)

(b) tan(π − θ)

(c) sin 3 B +sinBcos 2 B

(d) tanA(1 +cos2A)

Solution (a) Usingthe identityfor cos(A +B) withA = π,B = θ weobtain

cos(π+θ)=cosπ cosθ −sinπ sinθ

= (−1)cosθ − (0)sinθ

= −cos θ

(b) Usingthe identityfor tan(A −B) withA = π,B = θ weobtain

tan(π−θ)= tanπ−tanθ

1+tanπtanθ

= 0−tanθ

1+(0)tanθ

=−tanθ

(c) sin 3 B +sinBcos 2 B =sinB(sin 2 B +cos 2 B)

=sinB since sin 2 B +cos 2 B = 1

(d) Firstlywe notethat tanA = sinA . Also wehave from Table 3.1

cosA

cos 2 A = 1+cos2A

2

from which

Hence

1+cos2A=2cos 2 A

tanA(1 +cos2A) = sinA

cosA 2cos2 A

=2sinAcosA

= sin2A
