Aim: How do we find the cosine of the difference and sum of two angles?

Do Now:If mA = 35º and mB = 20º show whichof the following identities is true? cos(A – B) = cos A – cos B

cos(A – B) = cosAcosB +sinASinB

cos(35º – 20º) = cos 35º – cos 20º

cos(15º) = .8191520443 – .9396926208

.9659258263 = -.1205405765

.9659258263 = cos 35•cos 20 + sin 35•sin20

.9659258263 = .9659258263

Model Problem

Use the identity for the cosine of the differenceof two angle measures to prove that

cos (180º – x) = -cos x.

cos (A – B) = cos A cos B + sin A sin B

Substitute 180 for A and x for B:

cos (180 – x) = cos 180 cos x + sin 180 sin x

simplify:

cos (180 – x) = -1 • cos x + 0 • sin x

cos (180 – x) = -cos x

Model Problem

If sin A = 3/5 and A is in QII, and cos B = 5/13 and B is in QI, find cos (A – B).

cos (A – B) = cos A cos B + sin A sin B

to use this you need to know both sine andcosine values for both A and B. HOW?

Pythagorean Identitysin2 A + cos2 A = 1 sin2 B + cos2 B = 1

(3/5)2 + cos2 A = 1 sin2 B + (5/13)2 = 1

9/25 + cos2 A = 1 sin2 B + 25/169 = 1

cos2 A = 16/25cos A = 4/5

sin2 B = 144/169sin B = 12/13

QII cos A = -4/5 QI

Model Problem (con’t)

If sin A = 3/5 and A is in QII, and cos B = 5/13 and B is in QI, find cos (A – B).

cos (A – B) = cos A cos B + sin A sin B

Substitute & simplify:

cos (A – B) = (-4/5)(5/13) + (3/5)(12/13)

B: cos B = 5/13, sin B = 12/13

A: sin A = 3/5, cos A = -4/5

cos (A – B) = (-20/65) + (36/65)

cos (A – B) = (16/65)

Cosine of Sum of 2 Angles

The Cosine of the Sum of 2 Angles:cos (A + B) = cos A cos B – sin A sin B

cos (A + B) = cos A cos B – sin A sin BProve:

cos (A + B) = cos (A - (-B))cos (A + B) = cos A cos(-B) + sin A sin(-B)

cos (A + B) = cos A(cos B) + sin A(-sinB)

cos (-x) = cos (x) sin (-x) = -sin x

cos (A + B) = cos A cos B – sin A sinB

ex. Show that cos 90 = 0 by using cos(60 + 30)

cos (60 + 30) = cos 60 cos 30 – sin 60 sin 30

More Proofs

Prove: cos (-x) = cos x

cos (A – B) = cos A cos B + sin A sin B

cos (0 – x) = cos 0 cos (x) + sin 0 sin (x) cos (0 – x) = 1 • cos (-x) + 0 • sin (-x) cos (-x) = cos (x)

Prove: sin (-x) = -sin xsin = cos(90 – )sin (-x) = cos(90 – (-x)) =

= cos (90 + x) = cos (x + 90) = cos (x – (-90) = cos x cos (-90) + sin x sin (-90)

= cos x • 0 + sin x • -1 = -sin x
