Given sin ⁡(x)= and knowing x is in the first quadrant (where sine and cosine are both
positive), we use5the Pythagorean identity:

The identity for sin ⁡(2 x − y ) can be expressed using the angle sum identity:

sin ⁡(2 x − y )=sin ⁡(2 x)cos ⁡( y)−cos ⁡(2 x )sin ⁡( y)

We need sin ⁡(2 x ) and cos ⁡(2 x), which can be found using the double angle formulas:
