Hello, wonderful mathematics people.
This is Anna Cox from Kellogg Community College developing
product to some formulas.
We're going to start with our cosine alpha minus beta formula
that says cosine alpha, cosine beta plus sine alpha, sine beta.
And we're also going to have our cosine alpha plus beta formula,
cosine alpha, cosine beta, minus sine alpha, sine beta.
If we took these two formulas and we added the formulas, we'd
end up with cosine alpha minus beta plus cosine alpha plus beta
equaling 2 cosine alpha cosine betas because the sine would
cancel.
Then if we wanted it to be a product to some formula, we want
this cosine alpha, cosine beta.
So we want to get rid of the two.
So we're just going to divide each side by 1/2.
So 1/2 cosine alpha minus beta plus cosine alpha plus beta
equal cosine alpha cosine beta.
That's one of our product to sum formulas.
If we had done the same thing, but this time we subtracted,
we'd get cosine alpha minus beta minus cosine alpha plus beta.
This time the cosine alpha cosine betas are going to cancel
because we're subtracting, and that's going to equal to sine
alpha sine beta.
To get the sine alpha sine beta by itself, we're going to divide
each side by two.
So we get 1/2 cosine alpha minus beta minus cosine alpha plus
beta, equaling sine alpha sine beta.
Now we're going to do the same thing starting with the sine
formulas.
So if we have sine alpha plus beta and sine alpha minus beta,
if we think about adding these, we'd get sine alpha plus beta
plus sine alpha minus beta equaling 2 sine alpha cosine
beta or 1/2 sine alpha plus beta plus sine alpha minus beta
equals sine alpha cosine beta and our last one's going to come
from subtracting.
If we subtract these, we're going to get sine alpha plus
beta minus sine alpha minus beta.
This time the sine alpha cosine betas are going to cancel and we
get 2 cosine alpha sine beta.
To get the cosine alpha sine beta by itself, we're just going
to divide by that too.
Now these last two are actually very similar.
The thing we need to realize is the location of the different
angles.
So this one was sine alpha, cosine beta, this one's cosine
alpha, sine beta.
Now we know angles are interchangeable, so we could
actually have this as the same equation as long as we paid
attention to which is our alpha and which is our beta.
So those are the product of sum formulas.
We're going to now have sum to product formulas.
The sum to product formula says sine alpha plus sine beta equal
to sine alpha plus beta, cosine alpha minus beta.
If we use the formula we just developed the sine times cosine,
we would have the second part portion over here equaling 1/2
by the formula sine of the two angles added together plus sine
of the two angles subtracted.
So the two times the 1/2 are going to cancel alpha plus beta
over 2 plus alpha minus beta over 2 because they have the
same denominators.
The betas are going to cancel and we're going to get 2A over
2, which we know is just really alpha and we would get sine.
And the second one, the alphas are going to cancel and we're
going to get 2 beta over 2 or beta.
So we've just shown that this is indeed an identity.
So sine alpha plus sine, beta equal to sine, alpha plus beta
over 2, cosine alpha minus beta over 2.
Now some books actually start with the formula 1/2 sine alpha
plus beta plus sine alpha minus beta equaling sine alpha, cosine
beta.
We developed this formula a minute ago.
And then what they do is they say, OK, let's let alpha plus
beta over 2 equals some new variable.
No.
Let's let alpha plus beta equals some new variable X.
Let's let alpha minus beta equals some new variable Y.
If we added these together, we'd get 2A equaling X + y, or alpha
would equal X + y / 2.
If we took these two and subtracted, we'd get 2 beta
equaling X -, y or beta equaling X -, y / 2.
And we know variables are just variables.
So if we got rid of this half by multiplying it to the other side
and we would replace alpha plus beta is just going to be X,
alpha minus beta is just going to be Y.
Multiply that 1/2 across to get 2:00 on the other side.
Instead of alpha, we're going to have X + y / 2.
And instead of beta, we're going to have X -, y over 2.
And if we remember variables are just variables.
This equation and that equation are really the same.
So if we use our product to sum formula to show that the sum to
product formula is an identity, the two stays there.
If we have a sine times a cosine, the formula we just
showed was 1/2 sine of the sum of the two angles plus sine of
the difference of the two angles.
So the two and a half are going to cancel.
If we look at this, we end up with 2A over 2 which is just
alpha.
If we look at the second portion, we end up with -2 beta
over 2 or negative beta, and by our even and odd identities we
know that Sine's odd, so sine of negative B is negative sine B.
Another way to do this is to think about variables or just
unknowns.
So if I let alpha plus beta equal X, alpha minus beta equal
Y, if I added those together, I'd get 2A equaling X + y, or
alpha equal X + y / 2.
If I had subtracted my alpha plus beta and my alpha minus
beta, I'd get 2 beta equaling X -, y all over 2.
So then if we look at this formula, we'd have 1/2 instead
of actually, let's take the 1/2 to the other side.
Instead of alpha plus beta, we're going to have an X.
Instead of alpha minus beta, we're going to have AY.
We're going to take the two across cosine alpha X + y / 2,
sine beta X -, y / 2.
If we look this formula and this formula are really the same,
just variables have changed.
We know we can multiply in any order we want.
We look at the next one.
If we have cosine alpha plus cosine, beta equal to cosine,
alpha plus beta over 2, cosine alpha minus beta over 2.
That's a formula for product to sum for that cosine times
cosine.
So we get 2 * 1/2 cosine of the two angles subtracted plus
cosine of the two angles added.
The two times the half are going to cancel, we're going to end up
with cosine of 2A over 2 or alpha plus.
Oh, the alphas are going to cancel there.
Alpha minus alpha, beta minus a negative beta is 2, beta over 2
or beta.
When we look here, alpha plus alpha is 2A over 2 and the betas
cancel.
So we had to know our product to sum formula in order to prove
the sum to product formula as an identity.
The other way to do it back to the alpha plus beta equal X,
alpha minus beta equal Y, 2A equal X + y, etcetera.
If we multiply to each side by the two, we'd get cosine Y plus
cosine X would equal to cosine X + y / 2 times cosine X -, y / 2.
Once again, if we look at those two formulas, they really are
the same thing, maybe added in different order or multiplied in
different order.
The last one -2 sine alpha plus beta over 2, sine alpha minus
beta over 2.
So the -2 * 1/2 is going to leave us a -1 the alpha plus
beta over 2 minus alpha minus beta over 2.
The alphas are going to cancel.
We get 2 beta over 2 or cosine beta minus.
Here the betas are going to cancel and we get 2A over 2 or
alpha, and when we distribute the negative we get cosine alpha
minus cosine beta.
The other way to do this, the cosine alpha minus beta is
really Y.
The cosine alpha plus beta is really X.
Multiply the two across sine of X + y / 2, sine X -, y / 2, and
if we wanted the X to be first, we could multiply each side of
the equation by a -1.
And then we come up with the formula we just had from above.
So those two are equivalents.
Thank you and have a wonderful day.
