    A formula for computing the trigonometric identities for the one-third angle exists, but it requires finding the zeroes of the cubic equation 4x 3 − 3x + d = 0, where is the value of the cosine function at the one-third angle and d is the known value of the cosine function at the full angle.

    As t goes from 0 to 1, the point follows the part of the circle in the first quadrant from (1, 0) to (0, 1). Finally, as t goes from 1 to +∞, the point follows the part of the circle in the second quadrant from (0, 1) to (−1, 0). Here is another geometric point of view. Draw the unit circle, and let P be the point (−1, 0).

    [1] [2] One reason for this is that they can greatly simplify differential equations that do not need to be answered with absolute precision. There are a number of ways to demonstrate the validity of the small-angle approximations. The most direct method is to truncate the Maclaurin series for each of the trigonometric functions.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent_half-angle_formula

    The angle between the horizontal line and the shown diagonal is ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ (a + b). This is a geometric way to prove the particular tangent half-angle formula that says tan1 / 2 ⁠ (a + b) = (sin a + sin b) / (cos a + cos b). The formulae sin ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ (a + b) and cos ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ (a + b) are the ratios of the actual distances to ...

    The figure at the right shows a sector of a circle with radius 1. The sector is θ/(2 π) of the whole circle, so its area is θ/2. We assume here that θ < π /2. = = = ⁡ = ⁡ The area of triangle OAD is AB/2, or sin(θ)/2.

  8. Exact trigonometric values - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_trigonometric_values

    A trigonometric number is a number that can be expressed as the sine or cosine of a rational multiple of π radians. [2] Since sin ⁡ ( x ) = cos ⁡ ( x − π / 2 ) , {\displaystyle \sin(x)=\cos(x-\pi /2),} the case of a sine can be omitted from this definition.

    c 0 = 1 s 0 = 0 c n+1 = w r c n − w i s n s n+1 = w i c n + w r s n. for n = 0, ..., N − 1, where w r = cos(2π/N) and w i = sin(2π/N). These two starting trigonometric values are usually computed using existing library functions (but could also be found e.g. by employing Newton's method in the complex plane to solve for the primitive root ...
