Reason: First publication. The three product-to-sum identities, stated in doubled form so that no invertibility of $2$ has to be discharged; they are the algebraic engine of the orthonormality and Fejer-kernel computations to come. · 633 chars · 2 deps · depth 14

Each of the products $\cos u\cos v$ , $\sin u\sin v$ and $\sin u\cos v$ is half a sum or difference of cosines or sines of $u-v$ and $u+v$ .

Statement

In the setting of The Real Numbers: Standing Notation and Background, let $\cos$ and $\sin$ be the cosine and sine functions from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R}$ , write $u-v$ for $u+(-v)$ as in The Real Numbers: Standing Notation and Background §numbers, and let $2=1+1$ . Then the following hold for all $u,v\in\mathbb{R}$ .

1. (Two cosines)¶

\cos(u-v)+\cos(u+v)=2\cos u\cos v .

2. (Two sines)¶

\cos(u-v)-\cos(u+v)=2\sin u\sin v .

3. (A sine and a cosine)¶

\sin(u+v)+\sin(u-v)=2\sin u\cos v .
