9. MULTIPLE AND SUBMULTIPLE ANGLES

Synopsis :
1. i) sin 2A = 2 sin A cos A
2 tan A
=
1 + tan2 A
ii) cos 2A = cos2 A – sin2 A
= 1 – 2 sin 2A
= 2 cos 2A – 1
1 − tan2 A
=
1 + tan2 A
2 tan A
iii)tan 2A =
1 − tan 2 A
2. i) sin 3A = 3 sin A – 4 sin3 A
ii) cos 3A = 4 cos3 A – 3 cos A
3 tan A − tan3 A
iii)tan 3A =
1 − 3 tan2 A

Multiple and Submultiple Angles

8. i) sin2 θ + sin2 (60° + θ) + sin2 (60° – θ) = 3/2

ii) cos2 θ + cos2 (60° + θ) + cos2 (60° – θ) = 3/2

iii)sin2 θ + sin2 (120° + θ) + sin2 (120° – θ) = 3/2

iv) cos2 θ + cos2 (120° + θ) + cos2 (120° – θ) = 3/2

9. i) If tan A + tan B + tan C = tan A tan B tan C,

then A + B + C = nπ, n ∈ Z.

ii) If tan A tan B + tan B tan C + tan C tan A = 1,

then A + B + C = (2n + 1) π/2, n ∈ Z.
