There are several equivalent ways for defining trigonometric functions, and the proofs of the trigonometric identities between them depend on the chosen definition. The oldest and most elementary definitions are based on the geometry of right triangles and the ratio between their sides.
The tangent half-angle substitution relates an angle to the slope of a line. Introducing a new variable = , sines and cosines can be expressed as rational functions of , and can be expressed as the product of and a rational function of , as follows: = +, = +, = +.
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.
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 tan 1 / 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 ...

Amy Carter wipes here eye during a memorial ceremony for former President Jimmy Carter in the Rotunda at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 7, 2025 in Washington, DC. Carter's body will lie in state in the ...
Reportedly worth 1.5 billion euros ($1.6 billion) and spread over five years, the project has been under discussion for months. It was made public last October by Italy's Foreign Minister Antonio ...
The quantity 206 265 ″ is approximately equal to the number of arcseconds in a circle (1 296 000 ″), divided by 2π, or, the number of arcseconds in 1 radian. The exact formula is = (″) and the above approximation follows when tan X is replaced by X.
