Addition Formulas for Sine and Cosine

The cosine and sine of a sum expand as cos⁡acos⁡x−sin⁡asin⁡x\cos a\cos x-\sin a\sin x and sin⁡acos⁡x+cos⁡asin⁡x\sin a\cos x+\cos a\sin x.

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}. Then the following hold for all a,x∈Ra,x\in\mathbb{R}.

1. (Cosine of a sum)

cos⁡(a+x)=cos⁡acos⁡x−sin⁡asin⁡x.\cos(a+x)=\cos a\cos x-\sin a\sin x .

2. (Sine of a sum)

sin⁡(a+x)=sin⁡acos⁡x+cos⁡asin⁡x.\sin(a+x)=\sin a\cos x+\cos a\sin x .
