Adi in Formulae
In algebra, we can break brackets by multiplying each term inside the
bracket by the number outside.
This does not work in trig..
sin(o + B) * sinex + sinB sin(45°+ 25°) sin45° + sin25°
sin70° = 113
= 0.94
There is an addition formula for removing the brackets -
sin(or* B
SinacosB + cosasinB
eg. sin(y + 25)°= sin y° cos25° + cos y°sin25°
There are three main types of trig questions:
1, Prove that ... (or verify that ... )
2. Exact values...
3. Given that ...
