5.10 Addition and Subtraction Identities

Theorem 5.10.1 (Addition and Subtraction Identities)

sin(a + b) = sin(a) cos(b) + sin(b) cos(a)

sin(a − b) = sin(a) cos(b) − sin(a) cos(b)

cos(a + b) = cos(a) cos(b) − sin(a) sin(b)

cos(a − b) = cos(a) cos(b) + sin(a) sin(b)

tan(a) + tan(b)
tan(a + b) =
1 − tan a tan b

tan(a) − tan(b)
tan(a − b) =
1 + tan a tan b
