1. REVIEW OF TRIGONOMETRIC RATIOS This is the work covered so far in previous tutorials. SINE COSINE (A) = a/c ec(a) = c/a (A) = b/c sec(θ) = c/b TANGENT tan(a) = a/b cot (A) = b/a This is also useful to know. tan (A) = (A) / (A) (A) = a /c and (A) = b /c and (A) + (A) = a /c + b /c a b (A) (A) c = a + b (Pythagoras) c a b (A) (A) 1 a b a b c SINE RULE A B C COSINE RULE (A) b c a bc c (B) a b ca a (C) b c ab. COMPOUND ANGLES SUMS and DIFFERENCES Prove that (A + B) = (A) (B) (A) (B) Refer to the diagram opposite. OP (A+B) = OR (A) + RP (A) substitute (A) = - (A) OP (A+B) = OR (A) - RP (A) OR = OP (B) and RP = OP (B) OP (A+B) = OP (B)(A) - OP (A) (B) (A+B) = (A) (B) - (A) (B) Prove that (A + B) = (A) (B) + (A) (B) Refer to the diagram opposite. OP (A+B) = OR (A) RP (A) -(A) = (A) OP (A+B) = OR (A) + RP (A) OR = OP (B) and RP = OP (B) OP (A+B) = OP (B) (A) + OP (B) (A) (A+B) = (A) (B) + (B) (A) By a similar manner to before it can be shown that: (A - B) = (A) (B) + (A) (B) and (A - B) = (A) (B) - (A) (B) D.J.Dunn www.freestu.co.uk
DOUBLE ANGLES (A+B) = (A) (B) - (A) (B) put B = A: (A) = (A)(A) (A) (A) (A) = (A) (A) and ce (A) + (A) = 1 (A) = 1 (A) = (A) 1 1 (A) (A) (A) 1 and (A) Similarly (A+B) = (A) (B) + (B) (A) (A) = (A) (A) or (A) (A) = ½ (A) HALF ANGLES In the identity (A) = (A) (A) if we substitute A = C/ for A we get (C) = (C/) (C/) (C) = (C/) {1 - (C/)} (C) = (C/) 1 And (C) = (C/) (C/) 3. PRODUCTS AND SUMS CHANGING PRODUCTS TO SUMS We have alrea shown that: (A + B) = (A) (B) + (A) (B) (A - B) = (A) (B) - (A) (B) If we add the two lines we get : (A + B) + (A - B) = (A) (B) Rearrange, (A) (B) = ½ { (A + B) + (A B)} If A = B then as before (A) (A) = ½ { (A) } CHANGING SUMS TO PRODUCTS Ug Change sides Let C = A + B and D = A - B (A) (B) = ½ { (A+B) + (A B)} ½ { (A+B) + (A B)} = (A) (B) ½ { (C) + (D)} = (A) (B) A = C B and A = D + B add them together and A = C + D and subtracting B = C D Since C and D are only symbols for angles it must be true that: ½ { (C) + (D)} = {½ (C+D)} {½ (C - D)} { (C) + (D)} = {½ (C+D)} {½ (C - D)} A + B = {½ (A + B)} {½ (A B)} Likewise we can show: A B = {½ (A B)} {½ (A + B) } A + B = {½ (A + B)} {½ (A B)} A B = {½ (A + B)} {½ (A B)} D.J.Dunn www.freestu.co.uk 3
3. CHANGING COS TO SIN AND SIN TO COS Here we see how to change expressions of the form a(θ) + b (θ) into a gle term of or. a b a(θ) + b (θ) = c θ θ c c For a right angle triangle as shown we know that: (A) = a/c (A) = b/c c We can substitute these terms and get: a b a (θ) + b (θ) = c{(a) (θ) + (A) (θ)} Now use the identity {(A) (θ) + (A) (θ)}= (A + θ) a (θ) + b (θ) = c {(A + θ)} If a = b = 1 then c = A = 45 o (θ) + (θ) = {(45 o + θ)} If we started with the expression a (θ) - b (θ) the result would be: a b a (θ) - b (θ) = c θ θ c c a (θ) - b (θ) = c{(a) (θ) - (A) (θ)} Now use the identity (A - θ) = (A) (θ) - (A) (θ) a (θ) - b (θ) = c {(A - θ)} If a = b = 1 then c = A = 45 o (θ) - (θ) = {(45 o - θ)} WORKED EXAMPLE No.1 Change 3(θ) 4(θ) into e form and then ine form. a (θ) - b (θ) = c{(a-θ) } Let a = 3 and b = 4 hence c = 5 = 5 3 (θ) - 4 (θ) = 5{(A - θ} (A) = b/c = 4/5 (A) = a/c = 3/5 A = -1 (4/5) = 36.9 o or -1 (3/5) = 36.9 o 3(θ) 4(θ) = 5 (36.87 θ) = 5 (θ + 143.13) To put the expression into ine form we only need to know that (α) = (90 o -α) Hence (θ + 143.13) = (90 - θ - 143.13) = (- θ 53.13) = (θ + 53.13) 3(θ) 4(θ) = 5(θ + 53.13) Check put θ = 45 o and 3(θ) 4(θ) = -0.707 5 (θ + 143.13) = -0.707 5(θ + 53.13) = -0.707 D.J.Dunn www.freestu.co.uk 4
WORKED EXAMPLE No. Show that 1 θ θ tanθ Substitute (θ) = (θ) (θ) Substitute (θ) = (θ) 1 Simplify and 1 1 1 θ θ θ θ θ θ 1 1 θ θ θ θ θ θ 1 θ tanθ θ θ θ θ WORKED EXAMPLE No. 3 Given (θ) + 3(θ) = 1/ Solve θ Substitute (θ) = 1 - (θ) {1 - (θ)} + 3(θ) = 7/ - (θ)} + 3(θ) = 7/ - (θ)} + 3(θ) 3/ = 0 (θ) - 3(θ) - 3/ = 0 3 3 (4)()(3/ ) 3 9 1 3 1 ( θ) ()() 4 4 (θ) = 1.895 or -0.396 Since the ine value can not exceed 1 the only answer must be (θ) = -0.396 θ = 113.3 o WORKED EXAMPLE No. 4 A generator produces a voltage v = 00 (πft) and a current i = 5 (πft) into a purely resistive load. The electric power is P = vi. Express this as a gle term and show that the power varies from zero to 1000 Watts at double the frequency. P = {00 (πft)} {5 (πft)} = 1000 (πft) 1 (A) Use the double angle formula (A) 1 π f t P 1000 500 5004 π f t The frequency is doubled and P varies 0 to 1000 (see the plot) D.J.Dunn www.freestu.co.uk 5
