Product-to-Sum Formulas for Sine and Cosine

Each of the products cos⁡ucos⁡v\cos u\cos v, sin⁡usin⁡v\sin u\sin v and sin⁡ucos⁡v\sin u\cos v is half a sum or difference of cosines or sines of u−vu-v and u+vu+v.

Statement

In the setting of The Real Numbers: Standing Notation and Background, let cos⁡\cos and sin⁡\sin be the cosine and sine functions from R\mathbb{R} to R\mathbb{R}, write u−vu-v for u+(−v)u+(-v) as in The Real Numbers: Standing Notation and Background (i), and let 2=1+12=1+1. Then the following hold for all u,v∈Ru,v\in\mathbb{R}.

1. (Two cosines)

cos⁡(u−v)+cos⁡(u+v)=2cos⁡ucos⁡v.\cos(u-v)+\cos(u+v)=2\cos u\cos v .

2. (Two sines)

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

3. (A sine and a cosine)

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